Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Using AI is feeding into real fascist agendas funded and driven by actual living breathing techno fascists. Do NOT use AI to create protest media. You become a soldier for the oppression.
Be raw, be amateur, be first attempt, be no talent, ... just be loud while doing all that.

One of the quickest ways the average persom (globally) can strip power from the US leadership (corporate and political) is for everyone to completely boycott all genAI.

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes.
This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

The violence & hate made my creativity die for a while, then someone said to me, “The act of creating is resistance.”
They want to make us forget the beautiful things we’re fighting for so we’ll become despondent. But I won’t let them. Will you? #hereismyresistance #resist #goodness #goodthings
