Y'all, in addition to calling out the bullshit in our government, please don't forget to call out the bullshit people try to pass of as AI "art".

You deserve no credit for "please create an image of a woman in a red dress lying on the beach". Sora did that, not you.

In a world with so much injustice, violence & grief, the arts becomes more important than ever.

Gutting the arts is gutting our own humanity, and with the rise of cynicism, inequality & hatred, we need more humanity, not less.
