"Every single day for four years I have thought about Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt gloating that you can dismantle a democracy right in front of a liberal's face piece by piece and all they'll do is convene committee meetings till the boots are in the halls." ― Anthony Oliveira (@meakoopa.bsky.social)

I feel sorry for the pro-AI losers whining in the comments. That someone should be content to ask so little of themselves, to rate their own voice and skills so poorly, is just profoundly sad.

I think it's perfectly understandable that many people feel a deep sense of resentment and disenfranchisement for the time capitalism has stolen from them, but the answer is not to embrace capital's machine that pretends to show you an inner life you aren't having.

I dream of having enough stability in our culture that anyone who wants to can pursue the arts, but the meaning comes from that pursuit, from translating human experiences through skills acquired over time. Art is labor, but it isn't just some commodity that can be pulped and reconstituted.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Day 6 of the global billionaire pedophile network being out in the open and theyve got you arguing over "recipes are ableist". We'll never be a type 1 civilization

distinctly american center-left misunderstanding of power, that the democratic party is something we need to support, no matter what they say or do, just because they're the Less Worse option – that WE are failing THEM but not posting (?) enough (?) about how much we love them – is so peculiar

“There will still be assholes in communism” nobody said there wouldn’t be. But they’ll be living in an apartment like everyone else. Using the same healthcare system. And not have a trillion dollars of private capital. I don’t care if they are rude

I'm glad other people are picking up on the misogynistic & diminishing framing of the Tribune Ed Board's little bitching about Kat Abughazaleh chained right into a tokenization of Bushra Amiwala. Both women deserve far more respect. It's bullshit journalism from the bullshit publishing board.
