When his popularity flags. He returns to the tactics that garnered him the most attention and approval. Dehumanizing the Obamas but Michelle specifically has always worked, and usually garnered him the least pushback . It’s disgusting but now just a pattern

I’ve seen white people saying this is Trump being unable to admit he “made a mistake” and I really need those people to stop being fucking stupid, and to stop giving their fellow whites the benefit of the doubt. Trump is a liar and a bigot. He posted that video specifically because it was racist.

It’s not just that AI art is bad, though it is, and it’s not just it harms the environment, though it does, and it’s not just that it was built on theft, exploitation and bias, though it was, it’s that using it robs you of the experience of making art, good or bad, communal or alone, for yourself.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Udo Kier, but as his vampire character from Blade

This is like when law-enforcement organizations got pissy because Quentin Tarantino supported Black Lives Matter, and swore they were gonna never watch another Quentin Tarantino film. Whatever, Jimmy.

lol see, he didn’t want to delete it, hates that he did, doesn’t think he was wrong

Our political press *exasperated, pleading*: Sir, would you please walk back that wildly racist— Trump: ABSOLUTELY NOT. I AM A RACIST. *shits himself, wanders off* The NYT: Trump Stands His Ground, Defiantly Pushes Boundaries on Racial Dialogue

"No I meant that shit" -- and he won't lose a single supporter because that's what we are as a country now. Dumb and racist

It’s probably too much to hope for, but my deepest wish is for #BadBunny to perform “Little Girls” by Oingo Boingo at the #Superbowl #Halftimeshow and to dedicate it to Trump and his best friend Jeffrey Epstein.

Barry Windsor Smith's art always makes me happy - finding this was a much needed lift after a bloody awful week.

Hospitality Minnesota members are choosing to house ICE agents for money and prolong the occupation that is harming their whole industry. They have so much more power in this situation than they’re leveraging. Nobody wants to risk staying in the same hotel as masked, armed kidnappers.

I watched The Wrecking Crew. 📽️ #FilmSky

Also making threats to observers like, "I'll put you in the fucking domestic terrorist fucking app." www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...

Sorry that I gatekept you by drawing in the back of math class before you were born. Sorry the books I wrote got scanned into a big computer without any permission sought or compensation given. Sorry that you'll never know what it feels like to create because you became addicted to a dopamine genie.

Some people deserve to be bullied, and that "Don't use AI" asshole was definitely one of them. I'm glad to see that they nuked their account. This place is better without them.

With ICE agents filling up our hotels, residents deserve to be able to weigh in on hotel liquor license renewals. Proud to have voted “yes” to delay these renewals on Tuesday. buff.ly/TusrS6V

BREAKING: 4 students at the University of Minnesota are currently chained to Morrill Hall, demanding that their school end all cooperations with ICE and establish itself as a sanctuary campus.

I don't know what happens next, but Liam and his family are not being deported today.

it's so, so, so frustrating how they act like people applying for asylum are subject to removal proceedings. that is not the law!!!!

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

We need Gen AI for poor disabled art is also a way of denying future art . Because if they create a standard normes to the average.. that’s not the way marginalized people make art It’s them demanding we hand arbitration to the racism machine

Even though the "AI art" misnomer machine drives me up the wall I take heart that most artists are just as angry as me and take up the torch for humanity. You can make art, right now, wherever you are. With anything. The whole "art gatekeepers" thing is actually just billionaire bs again.

even if you don't care about sports you gotta admit it's awesome that this guy had to hear to his face how the world feels about him

It's Leo's Towing--and they're doing a charity event with Lito's Burritos on Sunday 💜 www.facebook.com/share/186pVG...

I’m not even going to bother with Briahna Joy Gray’s latest idiot fucking nonsense. I’ve already been annoyed by that stupid fucking dipshit with the “don’t use AI is a luxury position” bullshit. I can only handle so many main characters in a single day.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Diversity is so hated that's why beige moms and all the other pales start foaming at the mouth at the mere mention of Diversity

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

Here are Ramsey County's mug shots for Jake Lang.

Top 10 Westerns, no particular order: WAR WAGON THE WILD BUNCH THE LONG RIDERS BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY SILVERADO TRUE GRIT (2010) TOMBSTONE THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE

This would be a good time for Rian Johnson to make things right by doing a KNIVES OUT MUPPET special.

I think many people who postulate about AI’s necessity as a "talent equalizer" (etc.) are more infatuated with the idea of being seen as an artist—with an imposed mythos that usually boils down to personal acclaim and a measure of success within capitalism—than they‘re interesting in making art.

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

By the way in case anyone's curious about what the take was: It pretty much boiled down to "if you don't have talent your art will be judged for not looking professional so you have no choice but to use AI in that case" Just breathtakingly dogshit on several levels

Scotland has passed a law that all new buildings must install ‘swift bricks’ which are hollowed out bricks to help nesting swifts and other endangered birds! Swifts are especially endangered because so many chimneys now have chimney caps. Swifts return to the same nesting spot year after year.

I am certain that whenever someone posts about “gatekeeping art” or whatever, they’re talking about posting drawings online for clicks. They never mean arranging rocks in the back yard. They never mean whistling to yourself and finding a tune that makes you happy. They never mean napkin doodles.

Anyone who says something like: “Don’t use AI is a luxury position” is telling you 3 things. 1. They’re fucking stupid 2. They’re untrustworthy. They will betray you the moment they are inconvenienced even the slightest bit. 3. They’re not worth having in your life. Block. Move on. Don’t look back.

“Don’t use AI is a luxury position”

Cruelty and entitlement in all things. Always.

The most important thing for "good" white Americans to realize, understand, and internalize is... every mother fucker who voted Trump did so specifically because he posts racist shit because they're racists too. Thats it. There's no other reason. To argue otherwise is you showing your own racism.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Learned from the Posting Through It podcast just how many MAGA-era influencers turned to politics after failing at more glamorous pursuits — theater, comedy, fashion, TV, movies, music. Knowles, if I’m not mistaken, had dreams of Broadway.

we just had a mayoral election 3 months ago, and minneapolis rejected omar fateh. low information “voters” should stop making signs like this and start looking in the mirror

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

The staffer thing is so funny, like an entirely white nationalist administration has to be like oh no, there’s one of us who’s more racist that the rest of the ethnic cleansers

everything about this post and picture strikes me as absolutely surreal like this is a still from a 1987 cautionary sci fi made-for-TV movie, isn't it? isn't it? ISN'T IT?

I watched The Wrecking Crew. 📽️ #FilmSky

white house narrative this morning: the president is NOT racist and you are FAKE NEWS for asking about it white house narrative this afternoon: it was merely a STAFFER being ACCIDENTALLY RACIST and the president definitely did not post the meme we said wasnt racist 3 hours ago
