An actual basket artisan claps back at Doug Ford “If post-secondary students in Ontario were truly enrolling in basket-weaving courses at school, it would be a valuable education, he said, and it could, in fact, lead to a successful career once the proper skills are fully developed.”
Cheers to Spencer Lunham Jr. for doing beautiful work that also shows once again that Doug Ford is a fool 🧺
Ford 'doesn't know what he's talking about' when it comes to basket weaving, Indigenous artist says | CBC News
A third-generation Indigenous basket maker is setting the record straight about his craft — it's a part of his culture, it's valuable, and artists can make a living off of it.

An acquaintance says “The funny thing to me is that Basket weaving is quite literally the trades+ Stem! Basketweavers were one of humanity's earliest material engineers!”
Not that it means much politically for him, as the Ontario says nothing much matters.

Ontario’s premier yells at university students telling them not to study “basket weaving” but meanwhile, in Iceland…
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

In 1992, Tim Robbins wrote, directed, and starred in the most accurate and evergreen American political satire ever produced. It’s been out of print for decades. It’s unavailable for streaming. If you want to watch it, bootleg copies on YouTube are the only way.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.
