Artists and photographers, this goes for you as well. AI is NOT intelligent and isn’t creative. It pumps out homogenized slop, not the magic you make with your pencil, paint, or camera.
Writers, keep writing. Do not buy into the hype train telling you your job will be replaced in a few years. Those using AI are literally atrophying their brains ability to be creative. The future will need your words, your creativity, to function well.

I’ll be approaching “Four and a Half Vulcans” with an open mind and a sense of humor.
I wish more of you would do the same.

First, they came for John Bolton
And I did speak out
Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache,
I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

Imagine giving a shit how ICE agents feel about being bootlicking thugs who terrorize the nation’s streets so Stephen Miller and Twitler can feel more masculine, hell so these limpdick ICE agents can feel more masculine.

Inside ICE, Trump's migrant crackdown is taking a toll on officers
Under President Donald Trump, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has become the driving force of his sweeping crackdown on migrants, bolstered by record funding and new latitude to conduct raids, but staff are contending with long hours and growing public outrage over the arrests.

This is why I plan to vote against establishment Democrats in each primary at every level for the foreseeable future. @gomez.house.gov lost my vote, @schiff.senate.gov lost my vote, and yes, even @padilla.senate.gov lost my vote.
It is FAFO time for ALL establishment pols with few exceptions.

This memo is being sent to Democratic leaders/elites,
arguing that directly attacking Trump's deployment of the National Guard in DC is politically unwise. It encourages the use of terms like distraction and stunt. (I am not endorsing this kind of thinking at all. ) www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bz9d8...

With armed militia now on American streets because of Dump, the 2A is no longer worth the paper it is written on. Dump has done more to invalidate the 2A than any gun safety activist ever has.
That said, I STILL HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT EPSTEIN AND NOBODY ELSE SHOULD.

So I watched The Acolyte and as someone with a media-based degree with a minor in science fiction I can say this show was far better than it was given credit for and that is evidence as to how much “fandom” has ruined everything. The show was good, the fans are who suck. #StarWars #SciFi

The crazy thing about John Bolton being raided by the FBI is that he told us he was going to do this every time he accused Biden of weaponizing the justice system.
But you know what is even CRAZIER? Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files. #EpsteinFiles

So yeah, I’m a socialist because I’d rather choose to spend the money as the great Carl Sagan suggested than on more military spending and corporate subsidies.
When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.

Munger’s propaganda mailers against CA redistricting arrived today, the same day the legislature passed the effort to get this on a special election ballot. What a coincidence.
Munger is a Republican. He doesn’t care about CA voters, he cares about GOPer priorities. I WILL vote for the maps

What is a classic film everyone should watch at least once?
There isn’t a single photographic technique used in film today which can’t be traced back to Orson Welles’s experimenting on the set of Citizen Kane. What was new was groundbreaking and what was already in use he made a better technique.
