Vietnam was the first so-called “living room war,” watched on TV and seen through remarkable photography. Photojournalists captured the war’s most personal moments, the best and worst of human nature. See the photos, 50 years after the war ended. nyti.ms/4iG1Kd0

Incredible and haunting reporting by @catebrown.bsky.social, @osviz-jarrett.bsky.social, Catherine Belton, Anastacia Galouchka & others: “She took risks not for the sake of bravery or being recognized, but because she believed it was her duty" www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...
She tried to expose Russia’s brutal detention system — and ended up dead
A consortium of international journalists continued the work of Viktoriia Roshchyna, who was investigating reports of torture and detention of Ukrainian civilians in occupied Ukraine.

Ukrainian teenagers who live on Russian-occupied Ukrainian lands have secret book clubs to discuss Ukrainian books.They take great risks doing that as anything Ukrainian is prohibited. The teenagers can be taken away from parents,be interrogated or face other dire consequences

The talk in Europe is “how to get a seat at the table.” Respectfully, that’s the wrong question. The right question is, “how can Europe build a new table.”

This is an interesting take on right's love of generative AI, but I think it's ultimately misleading. The main problem is that it compares AI slop to the work of artists. But the use of generative AI has little to do with art, and much more with stock photos and other already generic imagery

“No amount of normalisation and ‘validation’, however, can alter the fact that AI imagery looks like shit. But that, I want to argue, is its main draw to the right. If AI was capable of producing art that was formally competent, surprising, soulful, then they wouldn’t want it.”
AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism
It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

A bit off topic but I'm enjoying this immensely! A wonderful example of studying an image in depth. Plus, it gives an insight into the practice, life and relationships of a 'difficult woman'.
