The argument about AI being need for art because art is only for the privileged is wild to me because I know a lot of people who went to art school and a lot of them are poor still do art.

Yeah my purity tests include extreme 💩 like:

* following through on student debt cancellation
* universal healthcare comparable to what's given to sitting officials
* free and low cost education

Very very extreme
Leftists have this thing that purity outweighs practicality and that’s dumb. But liberals have this thing that we can’t demand better and just have to accept the suck. That’s stupid too.

Both because of the etymological history of it, and because of the way it is used differently in grammar than most Black Measurement Units.
I’m lacking!!! In honor of day 4 of black history month, what is your favorite form of black measurement?

Damn, was just trying to think of an alternative to saying "My sister in Christ" but in a non-religious way to one of my friends and I just missed out on "My homie in heathenism."

Helen of Troy was supposedly the most beautiful woman in the world.
Lupita Nyong'o is the most beautiful woman in the world.

I'm not seeing the historical inaccuracy y'all are seeing.

THERE'S A WHOLE BLACK MIRROR EPISODE ABOUT HOW THIS IS BAD WTF IS WRONG WITH Y'ALL!
AI “deadbots” aim to replace the dead—and raise plenty of ethical issues, Charley Burlock argues. “Perhaps the biggest question is how such a product might shift our experience of personal grief and collective memory.”

I will never understand why people value fucking someone over friendship. Do y'all not have genuine fun with your friends? Do y'all not laugh? Do y'all not have an ounce of whimsy?
The viral clip of Cam Newton saying he can't have platonic relationships and the men in the comments agreeing with him is unsettling. They don't know how barbaric and immature they sound. Embarrassing.

“For women in prison, one abuser is replaced with another. The U.S. calls this ‘justice.’” Read Kwaneta’s latest in @theflytrapmedia.com www.theflytrapmedia.com/aint-we-wome...
Ain't We Women, Too?
For many incarcerated women, the state is their abuser, but the gender-based violence we experience behind bars goes ignored.

Homelessness is a policy choice.

Suffering is a policy choice.

Everyone deserves a safe place to lay their head, food on their table and healthcare.

When basic needs are met health and happiness improve.

We could easily provide for everyone… those in power don’t want to.

it’s not just that [men] in power don’t care about sexual violence, it’s that they think they are entitled to an amount of it. we define masculinity entirely by how well a man conquers othered creatures. If you contribute to the machine adequately you get a wife and a dog and kids to submit to you.
