wearing a mask during a Covid and/or norovirus outbreak is apparently an “extreme measure” lol
For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
Olympic Covid restrictions are gone, but some athletes still self-quarantining

So Bad Bunny allegedly said he would pay for the insurance for two Puerto Rican players for the WBC and they still won't let them play, and you can't convince me they don't have it out for team Puerto Rico at this point.

Reserve funds aren’t uncommon for city programs and are often kept for emergencies. But the arts fund isn’t authorized to have reserves — and has no policy outlining their use. In spite of this, the city has accumulated millions of dollars in reserves since the arts tax began.

A 46-foot-long fin whale washed ashore in Clatsop County on the Oregon coast Saturday morning. Officials from the Seaside Aquarium said the whale had already been dead for some time before washing up on the beach.

The answer to "it's hard to make art when you're poor" is "stop letting people hoard resources while other people starve" not "use plagiarism machines created and owned by the wealthy to churn out dogshit."
no great artists have ever struggled, a famous thing about artists that we all know. everyone prior to three years ago lived lives of luxury.
![the stupid 'talent is a gatekeeping mechanism' thread that's going around, three posts reading:
tired of having these arguments so i'm gonna lay out the STARK reality of AI for some of you privileged fucks:
1. "talent" is a gatekeeping mechanism that has created a culture of professionalism that is no less of an ivory tower than academia, a moralized proxy for access to time, training, money.
2. being poor means having to make hard choices like:
[a] drawing something yourself in a way society would call "bad" (i.e. unprofessional)
[b] sacrificing resources you don't have to pay a real artist what they're worth (or learn yourself)
[c] not doing it at all, or
[d] using AI.
“just don’t use AI” is a luxury position. when people moralize choices made under scarcity, they’re pretending the menu is the same for everyone. it fucking isn’t.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dei7f7zh74xr3hoghei6ke3d/bafkreig5uei5qn5bkwhgniorhoyesfs73ovo76xwfk2yxprmtnbde4cvp4@jpeg)
