Modest proposal that no human artist should have to draw Trump greeting cards (like this germane design). AI is best for the workers in this case

When I was 15 in Madison, WI, my SAT prep summer school teacher assigned us this book. The teacher was a hip dude who hated the Educational Testing Service with a passion so wanted us to know—and outwit—our enemy. The book, since updated, is satisfyingly withering about both the “test” and the ETS.

While reflecting on your replies, I caught up with “How the Liberal Media Helped Fascism Win,” two episodes of the “Behind the Bastards” podcast with scorching notes for the NYT. Amid them, cohost Robert Evans makes this exception for good reporters and editors. I’d add those reformers I mentioned.

And it is unreasonably hard for anyone. I was looking up the Oregon family farm where some organic blueberries I liked were grown and read their job posting for seasonal packers. Imagine this workday. I know, that’s farm labor. But we can question that, too. shorturl.at/g0qQv

Let’s not fall into this trap. It’s a civil rights fight, not a culture war.

I listened to a 2023 interview with
@melissahortman.bsky.social and got a sense of why she and her work were so beloved.
