"Nazis were just regular people" is not a statement meant to evoke empathy or to excuse their crimes. It is a statement of warning. The capacity to be part of and perpetrate atrocities is not limited to "monsters," it is wholly human. It is what we must always be aware of.

those camps were built under obama and kept open under biden. ICE budgets increased every year under obama and biden. no one from the first trump term was prosecuted and biden told trump "welcome home" on inauguration day neo-liberalism doesn't fight fascism it enables it.

Not surprised that Discord lied, but fucking FURIOUS that they're sending them to a company linked to bloody Peter Thiel. Meaning any data given to Discord is absolutely going to be given to ICE and other similar groups.

day was bad so I drew woluri about it 😭 #scarts

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

imagine being so good at a crime that they actually rename the crime after you, like if you were so great at doing murders nobody called it "getting murdered" anymore but instead called it "getting [your name]d." For Charles Ponzi, this is no mere hypothetical

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

I'm cancelling all of my art. I need time to relax and bounce on some dick. I'll post new art when I feel like it...

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

Someone in the comments was like "Why is it always on the victim to change" and it's because people who have been hurt will go on to hurt other people if you don't make steps towards healing and health. A really uncomfortable reality of abuse and trauma is that many perpetrators were once victims.

Arm-Armor if you will

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

430k of us vs. 2k of them, we're gonna win this Cedar & 31st I think

Thousands are at Powderhorn Park in south Minneapolis rallying against ICE. Video by Alex Kormann

This part is REALLY insidious, there is not a functioning commercially viable LLM out there that is not trained on Laion, a data set that scraped the entirety of reddit, artstation and a thousand other places. "Ethically trained LLMs" are a total fiction/scam

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

I gave Twitch Chat the ability to perform Christmas Carols for other streamers. They can spam the chat to play instruments on rhythm. This year we added some new instruments including - cowbell, gong, and live cannons. Worst performing chatter gets punished.

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

Vhaeraun cares about his guys, he never gives them battles they can't handle, buuuuut as a chaotic god I imagine he can't resist a good prank. A silly follow up to my last comic! #art #bg3 🍄 More Comics 🍄 Patreon 🍄 Ko-Fi 🍄

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages." Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder. I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

here is his new cope

Cmon man maybe you should double check your posts before towing the company line.

One take from a former Larian artist, following my interview with Swen Vincke this morning:

LR well i ain't buying that anymore so good job larian!

placeholder art is supposed to look like this. you're supposed to make it in 5 seconds. it's a crucial part of the process because a placeholder will often be remarkably similar to the final art/text, because you were unburdened by bigger details when you made it.
