I swear at some point I will do a thread of how awesome the Lego botanical sets are, but in the meantime, a new bouquet arrived in the mail. Here is a photo of the previous bouquet.
Things may still suck so here's a thread of Lego Botanicals I have put together over the past year.

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.

A ton of people in the comments are saying AOC should get more experience before running for president and my dudes....Obama was a senator for one term before he was elected. She already has more experience than him....
from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring
You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

This is apparently a controversial opinion, but I don't think it's too much to ask for a presidential candidate who has a functioning moral compass.

Nina Simone said an artists duty was to reflect the times in which we live, I don’t know how we swung so far to this notion that art shouldn’t be political, but it’s sad to live in a time that largely believes this.
Lotta “art shouldn’t be political” takes going around (including from faculty at my art program) and I just have to say: wow fuck that

Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

So, the hoarder neighbor currently has 2 "moving uhaul" pods in front of his house. The best case scenario is that he is moving. However, the worst-case scenario is the hoarding. Is that out of control 😞

Look, Hilary, I grew up Catholic and actually paid attention during mass, and I want you to know that committing atrocities quietly doesn't save you from going to hell.
Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."
