My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

The olympic audience cheers American athletes.
But the moment JD Vance appears on screen they boo.
The world doesn't hate *America.*
It hates our corrupt, lawless leaders. And the moment we remove them from power, the vibe can shift again.

Cynics will say that there will never be any consequences for Epstein's friends, but Andrew Windsor has already had to move into a smaller mansion so I'm not sure what it is you people want

This was reported happening in 2022 (also in France) and 2021 (in England), so is it an urban legend or a specific fetish?

I agree, of course, and yet I'm not sure who the "we" in the first sentence is supposed to refer to
One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

Guys nothing personal but if you rub your a.i. generated anti-ICE, anti-Trump memes in my face I gotta unfollow and mute you and also you’re dead to me.
It’s the sewage that fascism both shits and eats, it’s like blowing smoke in my face to show me how evil the tobacco companies are.

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.
