Sure. If no harm was meant you should not get worked up about it as long as people are willing to accommodate you later. Within reason of course.

Having said that I am definitely choosing to be offended by all the nasty sh*t Elon and Trump do to people.

They shouldn't take offense out our criticism of their religion. But I don't see a reason to offend people without a particular reason. This is essentially my same argument around trans people. You don't have to agree on leftist ideas on gender. But you can choose to be friendly and use pronouns.

Yeah... I have been pretty vocal about how stupid I thought it was that liberals treated the Biden election as somehow saving America. They ran things as "business as usual" while the GOP prepared themselves to destroy American democracy. The drive to imprison Trump over Jan 6th should have no. 1

I do believe religion should be relentlessly criticized but I would not offend religious people without particular reason. If I say misname their scriptures, then it doesn't really serve any purpose on my part. I am not highlighting a specific problem with the religion.

And they got worked up when we hinted that Trump had fascist tendencies? Hard to see this behavior as anything other than textbook fascism. Throwing people into dystopian hell hole prisons without any legal rights. How is that democracy? The police recently let a MAGA threaten a crowd with an AR

Question is if you can afford to play by the book in America anymore. If the other side is going full steam ahead towards a fascist dictatorship can you really afford to say "Oh well, we cannot fight them by following the rules, so we are just going to let the destroy our democracy."

At the same time if Republicans are put on trial and locked up in the future, you are left with a de-facto one-party state. That will lack legitimacy. So the US due to its two-party system is in a way f*cked. Doing what must be done will look real ugly and cannot be done without a heavy hand.

Yeah I don't know how to fix this. From my viewpoint you basically got an enemy within your ranks destroying US democracy. There is no way to come back from this treating Republicans with silk gloves. They are accomplices in a demolishing of democracy and that is just straight out treason.

Similar applies to making things like comics. I suspect you need traditional artists but they will likely using AI as an enhancer. But there is not real substitute for something having a good grasp of drawing. AI Art does not fully replace that

I absolutely do think AI tools will become part of the Hollywood production process, but I don't think actors will be gone, or 3D modeling, shooting on location and so on. Rather AI will be used for specific tasks to improve the parts of the production.

I talk medium term. Long term who knows.

AI image and video creation is amazing. I would not be doing this if I didn't think it had something going. But a lot of what we do as AI Artists is not really a replacement for traditional crafts. Given lack of precision in control it is almost like creating a dream sequence of something.

Links messages aren’t less visible on BlueSky like on X. You can just include the link on the top message. Or are you perhaps cross posting so this is easer for you?

I don’t think so. I think they just like misogynistic rapists. Reminds them too much of themselves. And the Tates did the most important thing: “sucked up to Trump relentlessly in the media”

So much for family values and “Christian morals”.
