This is why Andrew Tate is dangerous, and shouldn't have been allowed to leave Romania.

If you didn't think Andrew Tate was dangerous before...

A man who watched his video, then raped and killed his ex-girlfriend, and murdered her mother and sister.

Yes, he's dangerous.

Carl Dean. The Prince Consort to Queen Dolly.

RIP Carl Dean.

Reading some of the news reports on Jack Vetriano. Thoughts,

1) Critics can be pretty nasty.
2) If you're creating a barrier between your art and people then what's the point?
3) It doesn't matter if it's technically brilliant, what matters is random Joe in the street likes it.

Creativity is an essential part of being human. Humans will always be able to create something new. Society always needs new ideas.

AI just replicates what already exists.

Ban any creative product (books, artwork, television, cinema, music, etcetera) from being published if it was created using generative 'AI' at any step in the creative process.

Trump is telling Ukraine and Palestine to suck it up and let Russia/Israel take what they want.

Art, music, creativity.

All tools to build a mirror to hold up to power.
Art is revolutionary.

Camera panning to Taylor Swift in the crowd just to annoy angry white men.
Just found out about the DOGE Super Bowl commercial via an evangelical family and family friend group text.

I only don’t remove myself from it because it’s a train wreck and treasure trove of ethnographic information about the people I come from and WTAF.

Apparently this is a meme they’re sharing

Liverpool getting knocked out of the FA Cup for a handball. Almost like karma for the final in 2001.

What a shame Kanye wasn't in the room for this moment. His face would've been a picture! 😂

Seeing Americans posting about #BlackHistoryMonth now, and then remember that they celebrate it in the shortest month.

(It's in October over here)

So, thought I'd show @bsky.app something I like doing. This is from an Open Mic a few months ago.

Not particularly happy with this, because trying to do it from memory and I forgot part of it. Can do much better.

That's all the subjects that teach us to think, and be better humans.
They'll abolish:

• public humanities education beyond simple literacy
• public school arts and music programs, outright
• libraries, yes really
• the existence of nonprofit status for all organizations except Church + nationalism

Universities, agencies, and states need to resist preemptively—now.
