The tweet itself and the date make this one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen
I'm cancelling all of my art.
I need time to relax and bounce on some dick.
I'll post new art when I feel like it...

great man theory but it's less about how they're great and more about which brain worms the guy has when he ends up at the fulcrum of the world
The United States needed to acquire Greenland, Trump says, “because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success.”

Some really thought provoking points here:
"This widespread societal resignation of ‘guess our government communications now happens on a deepfake porn site’ is maddening, but also points to a deeper issue."

Dwayne McDuffie made fun of the character and Bendis (I think?) In this Justice League Of America comic page
Apparently the silent panel originally had him ask if he could use the n-word and the editor cut it, hence the weird last panel

They murdered a woman and are punishing her city for it.
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

it was very obvious to me from the early terf wars that there was a kind of bigotry black hole: the transphobes all became racists. the racists were all misogynists. the misogynists were all authoritarians. much of my work since then has been devoted to trying to understand why.
you know how if you try and make LLMs more racist, they also end up more sexist and pro-genocide? this is the human example of that. evil isn't a single thing, if you start down one path you keep ending up at the same destination.

It wouldn't be the first time DC Comics made a superhero so tone-deaf, that they sounded like a mean-spirited parody by right-wingers if you tried to explain them out of context

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

The way the “news” media is now “interviewing” Grok, a thing that doesn’t make any sense to do, and readily accepting its false information that conforms with the self-serving view of the world they want to report to confuse their readers is *precisely* the point of LLMs as a new form of knowledge.

New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery.
I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.

The fact that the right thinks this new video of Good’s murder is exonerating is more proof that none of what is going on right now is about people being convinced by evidence, whether accurate or false, but about collective make-believe.
