I was tagged a moment ago to talk with an activist and I’m blocked, once again, because someone put me on an AI list who doesn’t understand computer vision. I’m blocked by forty thousand people. I almost left, and it has made me stop sharing accessibility projects here. Big bummer. Sorry, I guess.

The original statue that Trump's gold FIFA Peace Prize is a copy of is the 1.8m granite and bronze "Thoughts and Desires" sculpture in Geneva gifted to the UN by Azerbaijan in 2017.
The granite and bronze original is quite lovely and lacks the rotting flesh zombie vibes of Trump's gold copy.

Tax payer this and tax payer that. It's not your money! It is technically all of our money. It's supposed to be used to help create a better society. But you only seem to complain about how it's spent when it's helping vulnerable people. And not those who are extremely wealthy.
