Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

This is a genocide. Two million people are being starved to death simply because of who they are and where they were born.

People have interpreted this as a call for a boycott, when I actually want a wealth tax so aggressive it'd make Lenin say, "steady on, lad" if Lenin talked like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.
A lot of people want to separate the art from the artist, but I would settle for separating the artist from her money.

This. Protect trans kids. Protect trans rights. Gender is a spectrum. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Non-binary people exist. Inter-sex & DSD people exist. Gender-non-conforming people exist. Transphobia is anti-feminist. Laws are often wrong and unjust. We must fight for a fairer future.
if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

On the one side you have every writer, artist, musician, actor, director, and comedian ever to create anything worthwhile, on the other you have Elon Musk, Bankman-Fried, and people whose idea of artistic creation is to type "big titty Supergirl" as a prompt. Of course Labour side with the latter.

Fix Your Heart or Die: The Startling Empathy of David Lynch
The films of David Lynch are strange creatures, but to focus only on their most ungainly appendages is to willfully ignore their equally beautiful qualities.

i will also die angry at the genAI crowd for deliberately causing the general public to conflate the ocean-boiling plagiarism machine with USEFUL forms of machine learning, like that wildfire early-detection system they're using around Kelowna now
"You sneer at data-scraping our posts, but machine learning is why we can take cameras the size of a fingernail."
Yes, those are two things that are true. Two tangentially unrelated things, sharing no causal connection. There is no big tech innovation lurking behind plagiarism remixers.
