My (young) child now sees iconic pieces of cinematography or photography and dismisses them knowingly as "AI" because the model has been trained on these iconic images and he now doubts their veracity in advance.

Tik-Tok?
This is the pattern. Purchase/Take Over a media source that has informed the public. Then dismantle them to the lowest form:
1. Twitter
2. Meta
3. Washington Post
4. CBS-60 Minutes/News
5. Public Broadcasting
6. Tik Tok

We are up to our necks in state run media.

The huge storm kept all the GOP voters at home because F-150s, Silverados, and Rams can’t drive in the snow, and all the Dems turned out in their Priuses, Leafs, and ten year old Honda Fits. Unfair, really. The National Weather Service should be defunded.
Rep. Pete Sessions on Republicans losing a special election in a red part of Texas: "The success of a rain dance has a lot to do with timing. What happened is there was a huge snow storm, ice storm really that hit north Texas and central Texas."

The Italian government insists it is going ahead with the Messina Strait bridge project saying it is part of a "system for the south". What system for the south? There is no system for the south. All investment for the south has been diverted for the bridge.

American Peronism 👍
How a belief in a Reaganite Supply-Side Fairy That Delivers Higher Trend Growth Under Republicans is consistent with American Peronism On Steroids is going to be the cliffhanger serial inside Kevin Warsh’s head for the next few years.

Hearing reports that the warrant was signed by a FIFA referee
BREAKING: The Trump regime has detained former CNN host Don Lemon.
A week ago, the regime tried to charge Lemon for covering an anti-ICE protest inside a Minnesota church, but a magistrate judge rejected the move.
Lemon predicted: “They’re going to try again.” Apparently, he was right.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

I’m collecting euphemisms American journalists are using to avoid telling readers that Warsh abandoned all his principles to land the gig.

You have lived long enough to see a French anti-fascist organisation (a traditionally very anti-US milieu) organise a ‘rally in solidarity with the American people’.
La Digue appelle à un rassemblement de solidarité avec le peuple palesti... ah, non, avec le peuple américain, ce mercredi devant le MEAE.
What a time to be alive...
