I worked a temp office job at an oil company that made their highest profits in 15-20 years under Biden and literally everyday they complained about him because that industry is so republican coded. Now they might have to declare their 40 years-old, 3 family generations business bankrupt.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

I can't think of a single restaurant I miss more than the classic Pizza Hut situation from when I was a kid. You got your own little pizza. You didn't have to pay for it because you read books, which seemed magical to me because I read everything anyway. They had video games. It looked fancy.

Terrific piece by @jamellebouie.net that articulates the central problem with the Trump presidency.
He demanded unprecedented power and has, thanks to his lickspittles in Congress & SCOTUS, been granted it. But he has little interest in using it beyond his grasping selfishness. The nation's adrift.

From the new chief of Britain's MI6:
"Hundreds of thousands have died, with the toll mounting every day, because of Putin’s historical distortions and his compromised desire for respect. He is dragging out negotiations and shifting the cost of war onto his own population."

It must be such a psychic relief to be a straight white man, and to know that no matter what professional failures or disappointments you face, the problem is always with the undeserving women and people of color, and never with your own inadequacy.
One problem with this take is the number of high profile white millennial men in the media...

Just to be perfectly clear, nearly twice as many people would have watched Erika Kirk speak had they had her on a guest on THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT (2.7M viewers), a show CBS cancelled, than watched the embarrassing PRIME TIME town hall (1.5M). YouTube numbers are EVEN WORSE. Embarrassing.

The unemployment rate for Black workers soared to 8.3% in November. That's more than double the rate for white workers.

My take: Yglesias spends all day on Elon Musks anti immigrant brainwashing machine and cooked his brain. Jeffries isn't on Vichy Twitter all day but spends all day talking to big dollar donors who mostly are.
Earlier this year, Matt Yglesias and Hakeem Jeffries urged progressives to shut up about immigration and Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Yglesias said "bad groups" were pushing Dems left on immigration and would help Trump's numbers.
