Bluesky discourse appreciator. Drop me some of your best discourse. (Mostly movies and music from me.)
AI memes are tacky AF

![Freedom of Speech, 1943, Norman Rockwell, oil on canvas. The blue-collar speaker wears a plaid shirt and suede jacket, with dirty hands and a darker complexion than others in attendance.[15] The other attendees are wearing white shirts, ties and jackets.[16] One of the men in the painting is holding a document that reveals a subject of the meeting as "a discussion of the town's annual report".[5] Edgerton's youth and workmanlike hands are fashioned with a worn and stained jacket, while the other attendees appear to be older and more neatly and formally dressed. According to Bruce Cole of The Wall Street Journal, Edgerton is shown "standing tall, his mouth open, his shining eyes transfixed, he speaks his mind, untrammeled and unafraid", and his face resembles Abraham Lincoln.[5] According to Robert Scholes, the work shows audience members in rapt attention with admiration of the speaker, who resembles a Gary Cooper or Jimmy Stewart character in a Frank Capra film.[17] According to John Updike, the work is painted without any painterly brushwork.[18]
