Wrote last month about the media’s use of “crackdown” to legitimize and validate the regime’s occupation of opposition strongholds. It’s driving me insane.

The US invasion of Venezuela is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter. Celebrating the capture of Maduro, Donald Trump went further, calling it an “attack on sovereignty” itself.

"For all that our culture seems to extol diligence as the surest guarantor of success and fulfillment, its embrace of AI technology exposes the fact that laziness at the top level is its true cardinal virtue." 🔥
Because capitalism orients people toward profit rather than allowing us to pursue our interests freely, it inevitably separates humans from the creative act. AI art is just the slop frothing up from that gap.
