I’m so sick of this bullshit. We’re approaching our 250th birthday and this is what we have to show for it. We’re a failed state run by a greedy, pedophilic, sun downing piece of crap and his merry band of fuckwits.

Considering the dumbass gen AI editing tool that Twitter introduced (allowing anyone to edit images posted by artists), there might be an influx of artists coming here. @bsky.app should jump at the chance to make this platform a safe place for creators.
