"You'll somehow pay less if the shit is run by people who demand a large profit margin" never made sense, and I don't understand why anyone ever believed it.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

A similar story from Sweden when the government decided to fund music education. If you wanted to learn an instrument, wherever you lived, you could do it for free.
One result was ABBA, which led to *decades* of pop music and massive worldwide cultural impact.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.
you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

A carved rock tied to an Indigenous creation story for Willamette Falls used to sit next to the river in Oregon City, but it’s been missing since the 1950s. Now, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde are trying to find it.
Where is the Meadowlark rock? Indigenous tribute to Willamette Falls is missing
The Indigenous creation story for Willamette Falls is known as an Ikanum; it has been passed down through generations and is only told in the winter.

The AI-response "Everything can be faked" discourse interests me partly by how much it leaves out of "everything."
AI might be able to fake a picture of a meal or video of a football match, but it can't fake the experience of eating or playing.
Being embodied seems like a kind of resistance.
