They don't want us to learn anything.

They don't want us to grow.

They don't want us to be better people.

They just want us to pretend.
Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so.

How far we have not come in 250 years.

You mean to tell me there hasn't been a concretely useful case for AI? That's really interesting, makes you think, doesn't it?

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Sonic has soared to new heights in the 2020s from conquering Titans, to exploring new islands, discovering new friends and foes, taking on the silver screen, and so much more.

Here's to making this Sonic's best era yet!

once again shilling the VLC Media Player mobile app that lets you just load any audio or video file onto it for free and make playlists + Foobar as well for computer listening + just buying albums from artists you want to support and then downloading everything else.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

An initially-secret report for Customs and Border Patrol in 2013 found:

In many vehicle shooting cases, the “driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby … creating justification for the use of deadly force.”

If you’re still posting art there I just think you’re maybe a little dumb.
As of January 15, X (Formally Twitter), will have an irrevocable license to use all and every content in the platform, for A.I training and you can opt out of it.
I recommend all artists to just completely leave that platform.
