no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

we've all been there

*peek* hi

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

The speaker of the house just said he didn’t see the president tell the military to get ready to attack liberal cities and tomorrow’s headlines will be “Democrats Refuse To End Shutdown”

IT'S THEM! THE 30-50 FERAL HOGS! AS THE LEGENDS FORETOLD!

if u look like this hmu and let's fall in love

It's become such an issue that my cats will lie down on me and purr and sleep for like entire days at a time. Like depression isn't already keeping me flat on my back enough already 🫩

No interviews with anyone who knows anything about LLMs. No indication the author understands that LLMs are designed to tell you what you want to hear, not necessarily what you need to hear. If you substituted "tarot cards" for "ChatGPT" you'd end up with the exact same story, beat for beat.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

The fascists are building the narratives and intellectual infrastructure needed for a prolonged confrontation with democratically held cities and state. Americans really are not willing to confront the reality that much of the pan right movement sees blue states and cities as enemy territory.

girl shut the fuck up

Throwback to that time that me and my bestie @bogposting.bsky.social co-wrote a song about Barb from #strangerthings

You know what I'm thinking and you're thinking it too.

billionaires are fighting 😭

Just learned there’s a place in Brooklyn called Win Son Bakery that does breakfast sandwiches on scallion pancakes and I’m grunting lustily

Someone pointed out that influencers use serotonin/dopamine/cortisol/oxytocin like they’re the four humors and now I can’t stop seeing it

Week

This is the most precarious lot to draw in life. You will just be keenly aware of the banality & unnecessary nature of the eternal suffering of you and your loved ones. Eventually the weight of that knowledge will either crush you or set you free.

Destabilization of reality in the US is about to reach surreal heights. Protect your mind. Monitor stress levels. Do not doomscroll--it does not help. Be selective about when and how long you expose your brain to this. Do what you can when you can.

at this point i believe that the dudes who come for the menswear guy are just sleeper agents whose entire lives have been orchestrated to give him dunk material

oh shit they've got an instagram-esque wrapper for bsky already! THIS is what I've been waiting for. ...you simply log in and it recontextualizes bsky to revolve around your art posts- same followers, same art posts, same account, no re-uploading.

having read through this I think my politics are now whatever will harm these people the most, physically and mentally

"Beautiful boys, I wish you knew how precious you are" tidal.com/track/412952...

this is the most wholesome thread i have ever seen on reddit

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

"And to Musk, Zuckerberg and company, in Europe we have a market of millions of users that provide money to your companies, yes. But we also love protecting our citizens and democracies by making laws. [...] You can always take your Nazi salutes and your masculine energy and go back home."

"Let me put it in words you might understand. Mr. Trump, fuck off."

Can I say something

Oh wait I was gonna maybe draw/paint/sculpt something this week. Maybe tomorrow 🤔

I may have binged every episode of Severance today and now I have run fresh out... What do now??

My lazy little Bean. My mostriciattola. 🩵 #kitty #lazy #tuxie #tuxedocat #bean

Apologies for getting a bit political on main tonight. I think this cartoon sums it up.

Wild. Top is the NBC upload, bottom is the one aired as the live feed

Had a lovely dinner with a friend while ignoring events of the day ☺️

cheering up and its apocalyptic consequences

The Ottomans built bird houses into the architecture of mosques, inns and bridges around Turkey. The addition of birdhouses was linked to religious beliefs and cultural values. It was believed that providing shelter for birds was a good deed and a way to show compassion for all living creatures.

I think this is what a lot of non-creative people don't get about art. That it's *not* a process that can be optimised for maximum efficiency - the milling around and trying things and scrapping them and building on the core of a good idea those less good ideas had *is* the process.

It's very tempting to rot in bed or hide in your home. But doomscrolling won't make you feel better. Maybe you have things to do, plans you've made, friends to see, places you wanted to donate. Pick one thing. Breakfast, meds, clothes or a shower? I know you can do it. One thing at a time.

So this app is being really weird, laggy, jittery and slow for me today... Is something going on?

It was Piper's first time experiencing a snow day. He wasn't feeling it tho lol

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide
