I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social):

As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead."

But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that"

Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

Just consider, for half a second if leftists, the people who are supposedly most antagonistic to religion (especially Christians) in the US, had attacked members of the clergy as often as ICE and cops have in the last few months.

Baptist Pastor Shot in Leg by Officer During All Saints’ Day March Outside ICE Facility

As Baptist pastor Michael Woolf marched on All Saints’ Day in an anti-ICE protest in the Chicago area, he suddenly felt a sting in his leg as a pepper ball round struck him.

I was gifted a hand-written book this weekend. The author, a child of a friend, is six years old.

It is titled, "The AA"

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Ruben Ortiz-Lopez — detained at 26 Federal Plaza in late Sept — has been released from ICE custody after a habeas petition, court watchers say.

He’s the husband of Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was shoved to the ground by an ICE agent.

My dental hygienist is a friend of ours, so rather than say I have a cleaning I tell Matt "I'm paying [redacted] to put her fingers in my mouth this afternoon."

It's so dire that offhand I can only think of two: cara, the anti-ai art sharing site, and ellipsus, which is a writing app that's also very staunchly anti-ai.

One of my favorite Halloween decorations:

A very realistic fake body is posed as if hopping over a fence. It has a skull for a head and a pumpkin in one hand.

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.
