I see a lot of folks attack AI generated work on the grounds of quality - and true, right now the quality just isn't there in most cases.
But even if it were perfect I still wouldn't want it in any media I engage with.
I care about artists more than art.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

This is something I’ve been puzzled by for a decade now.
You look at any right wing reply account, influencer, Last Name BunchaNumbers, Patriot Grandma, TERF, etc. There is no happiness, no hobbies, no celebration or personality. It’s just unrelenting, one-note grievance & cruelty.

This lines up perfectly with my theory that the far-right don't actually enjoy anything (aside from their cruelty) and are the fakest fans on the planet.

UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

War Criminal Dick Cheney Dead at 84, With Blood of Millions on His Hands
Cheney’s legacy more than outlives him; he reshaped the very structures of war and authoritarianism at home and abroad.
