I find that there’s usually a direct line between people who habitually post unattributed artwork and AI boosterism. Like, if they already act like images just appear out of the ether and have no provenance, they’re also very likely already openly hostile to artists.

I also feel like songs he wrote, or in this case co-wrote, make more sense when he sings them. I'm not saying they're better necessarily, but the rhythm clicks for me.

very similar to trump telling the german prime minister that he must feel bad about America defeating germany and he said, "no we celebrate that as our liberation from the fascists."
Those white residents of South Africa that Trump is trying to paint as victims?
Have this to say: "Singling us out as victims of multiracialism alienates us from our fellow South Africans and harms relationships that have been fostered over the past 30 years."

Prominent Afrikaners refuse to be 'pawns,' and hit back at Trump's claims about South Africa
Prominent Afrikaners are pushing back after President Trump announced no U.S. officials will attend the G20 in Johannesburg, rejecting his claims of "white persecution" in South Africa as false.

This feels like peak infantilisation of the elderly.
What exactly is ‘disgraceful’ about giving the elderly/infirm practical advice about how to be physically intimate in a safe way? They aren’t children. Their innocent eyes don’t need to be protected. Plus it’s medical guidance not a jazz mag

Another Haaretz piece that I am struggling with, but this, in particular, just makes me feel like the "relationship" between Israel and the diaspora is — in the eyes of many Israelis — that the diaspora sends money while being dismissed as lesser Jews. Not healthy!

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

So many symbiotic relationships in the ocean. Very smart of the anemone to extent the crab's home since hermit crabs outgrow their shells. I once saw a whole line up of hermit crabs waiting to switch shells, truly fascinating cooperative behaviour www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1dn...!

NY doesn’t have caucuses we have closed primaries. But same deal. That’s why @nywfp.bsky.social wants us to stay registered as Democrats: so we can win the primaries like Zohran & AOC did.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.
