"(Hitler's) feeling for men is not that they co-exist, but that they are capable of being arranged and standardized by a superior intellect...." - E.B. White, author of Charlotte's Web
An insistence that power should follow "superiority" is essential to fascism.

Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about
DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

When I said that genAI is inherently fascist, this is what I meant -- not just that only fascists are making use of genAI, but that genAI has a specific aesthetic that is now inseparable from modern fascism.
Both genAI and fascists are anti-art, and as such they are ideologically aligned.

Trans people, no matter who disputes your identity, no matter who seeks to dismantle your treatments, disbar you from society, brand you as a scapegoat in the death throes of crumbling empires, remember that you know who you are, and that you are loved for it. They cannot kill us.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill.

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too.
Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more
