This seems to be reddit user "Minute_Food_2881", possibly on other platforms too. You can see more builds there including an Enterprise made from a gingerbread AT-AT set:

Also apparently "make the Falcon" is a running joke with lots of #Lego fans, not just him!

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

It is absolutely high time somebody told the rest of us that the reason we're not still in early modern Europe is this quiet field of public health.
Shameless plug:
For a year, I've been working on a series about the vast systems that underlie life in most of the world. Built up over generations, these systems are the cathedrals of our time--but all too few of us know anything about them, and they're all at risk of failing. Here's the latest:

And yes, it makes great clickbait. Those posts have thousands of RTs.

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

I keep seeing Dems blamed for this guy's candidacy and I just want to point out that less than a week ago the complaint was that Dems weren't backing him. This is a case study in how easy it is to manipulate recent history.
“Betcha not a single downvoter is a real combat vet. Feel free to back it up with facts, fags,” Graham Platner wrote on a 2018 Reddit thread. There are half a dozen more antigay comments attributable to him.
