"The former entertainer" lmao

Finally someone free speech enough to say, “Yes, but are you being fair to the concentration camp?”

This is a very good read!

While we were on tour a lot of folks asked if The War on Cars is our full-time job. It is! It takes a lot of work to keep the podcast going, produce live events, and more. It's all possible with listener support. Thanks for whatever you can pitch in!

here’s an Elon Musk Christmas Tale. Merry Xmas everyone ❤️

My manifesto:

Today is my last foray into the public sphere as I will be taking part in Portview Christmas Market. And then it is holiday times!

My god. It's full of stars. This sparkling #JWST stellar scene is Westerlund 2, a young star cluster only a few million years old and containing some of the hottest, most massive stars known. Westerlund 2 is situated within the Gum 29 stellar nursery, and is around 20,000 lightyears from home.

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

I don't think AI is sentient but I'm still quite sentimentally attached to the idea that Grok hates Musk and is constantly fighting against the sycophancy built into its programming

What happens if you obstruct the yellow box?

One last massive wall drawing before the holidays! #streetart #ireland #paintmarkers @molotowclub.bsky.social

This is a funny joke but I also love that the whole world hates AI. That warms my heart.

Delighted to recieve my "Not the Force" print from @leoprints.bsky.social today

I hand screen printed a bazillion of these yesterday and now my arms are sore but there is no time for moaning as I am off to paint a massive mural in record time. As the T-shirt says, 'Be Realistic. Demand the Impossible.'

This is nuts. Robin Ince forced to resign from the BBC because of his support for trans people.

The Belfast Pop @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social closes today at 6. Yesterday was hectic with terrible weather but today the weather gods will smile and all will be good. I will be printing this tee today so bring a garment and get it sik screen printed before your very eyes.

We are open again tomorrow from 12-6pm Now I am going home for a wine or 2.

This is what I meant to post! #ai #antiai

As of this morning I have 1000 followers :) So here is a bit of cheer! Fuck the AI and Happy Christmas! #aislop #christmas

A story in 5 Jpegs. Belfast Pop Shop is back and for the final time in @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social gallery as we have to move out in February. Who knows where (or who) we will be next year :) #belfast #art #ireland #popart #printmaking

Seasonal Asthma Greetings to one and all! Due to some crazy work deadlines I am making this Friday the 12th the final day for physical Christmas post! But fear not! The Belfast Pop Shop is back this weekend and I have a stall at the Portview Christmas market on the 20th! #belfast #asthma #art

Tapping the sign

We are in the Big News! Stand against AI everywhere! :) @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social @jonathanbrennanart.bsky.social #belfast #ireland #art #antiai #aiart

Very important to completely annihilate the climate along with energy affordability so we can power the Mistake Generator that will fire everyone.

Here I am in the NationalPost talking about why AI art is shite. I hate cameras and being recorded but this was quite good fun. nationalpost.com/video/90ae47...

Today is the last day of @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market in Carlisle church which means its the last chance to catch Godzilla Santa in the house of God :) #belfast #godzilla #belfastchristmasmarket

computer going to take my job? no. i’ll pour water on it

Due Ruote (Two Wheels) Artist: Riccardo Guasco

Also the Vault Christmas market starts today and I have built a Godzilla Santa's Grotto and its bonkers!

I met Geoff Barrow from Portishead yesterday in the QFT! I didn't even say anything weird or awkward which was a bonus. He was doing a Q&A about his new film Game which is a Ballardian romp about the 90s rave scene. Sort of. It's on for the rest of the weekend. queensfilmtheatre.com/Whats-On/Game

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

@vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market opens this weekend we got in the paper due to our anti AI stance. I know its not the New York Times but it is something. :) #belfast #noai

Yesterday this flag was raised on Belfast City Hall in solidarity with the people of Palestine. I love the way that Hibernia (the Roman name and depiction of Ireland) looks to be holding the flag as if the whole country is united in solidarity! #belfast #belfastcityhall #ireland #freepalestine

Bloody love this tiny mountain.

Poke Wagon enamel pin badges are back! The perfect gift for any meat wagon obsessed human in your life. What says Christmas more than a miniature armoured police car with an ice cream on top? www.leoboyd.com/product/poke...

It is @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market this weekend and I have to build a Godzilla Santa Grotto in the Church for the event because I said I would but also building Godzilla Santa grottos is my calling... except I have a cold/flu and feel generally terrible :(

They've done a Paddington musical and it's supposed to be very good but the bear looks like it's on drugs

I don't think I've ever gotten more pissed off while making a video in my life. I hate these people with every bone in my body

Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

Sunset over Belfast yesterday evening.

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape

Oh, so this is why the Department of Labor decided to deploy the term bizarre term "Americanism" in its winking neo-Nazi post today

it sucks that because of AI you can’t even believe pet videos anymore it used to mean something when a dog used a jet ski to save a boy from a shark attack

There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater
