I feel that the only reason that anybody would still be a Tory today is as a weird piece of lifestyle performance art, like Gilbert and George meets the original Conservative LARPer, Jacob Rhys Mogg.

Just a reminder that Jack published a book last year called “unhumans” that makes the argument that all Democrats and anyone left of Francisco Franco should be rounded up and murdered en mass for the rest of the populations entertainment.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

it's such a baffling perspective to me because editing is the only reason I'm even trying to get any kind of external publishing and not just zineing the lot myself. but from what I'm hearing even at big publishers there's less and less of it provided, so you increasingly have to source it yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

just as well there isn't either a climate crisis going on that meat heavy diets are exacerbating or indeed literally anything else at all that needs dealing with. time to kick back and indulge in vexatious semantics on behalf of the commercial interests of a lobby with a tenuous grasp on reality
