”O’Connor believes we should view culture as a public service in the same way as healthcare & education. He is unequivocal in his argument that the current status quo does not work.”

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood
Someone on Twitter writes: "Unfortunately die work wear or whatever is a psyop to turn men into women . Cuz why the hell else would he be telling them to dress that gay"

I have so much to say about today’s case, legal analysis, and more.

But the most powerful thing today was watching Chase Strangio argue in front of the court as the first trans attorney to do so.

You could feel history, and nobody will ever take that away.

Ronnie Spector has what is easily the funniest quote in that new Beatles '64 documentary.
Ronnie Spector in "Beatles '64": "I'll tell you the truth. They had to escape." Ronnie Spector in "Beatles '64": "I said, I'm taking you to Harlem. Nobody will notice you up there." Ronnie Spector in "Beatles '64": "And they didn't. They thought they were a bunch of Spanish dorks."

I saw a post on Facebook yesterday about a swan frozen to the ice on Reykjavík pond. People were wondering what could be done and there was a comment from this absolute legend pictured below saying: "I am on my way with the necessary gear".

And there is just nothing cooler than people like this.

Non-artists: please gently let your well-intentioned niche blogger friends know that generating an AI illustration for their posts is not a harmless novelty. There are so many sources for free, eye-pleasing, not-environmentally-rapacious images. Creative Commons licenses, public domain art history.

📢NEW: 'Open' AI systems aren't open. The vague term, combined w frothy AI hype is (mis)shaping policy & practice, assuming 'open source' AI democratizes access & addresses power concentration. It doesn't.
