This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

The #WhiteHouse fabric has sustained plenty of damage, unfortunately. More difficult to undo will be the East façade—particularly the East Room's Palladian window—an original feature from 1792—which Trump is destroying to create a second floor corridor to his new ballroom. bsky.app/profile/sund...

Bald is beautiful! And normal for blue jays (and cardinals) this time of year. Bluey is rocking the 'catastrophic molt' look, dropping all her head feathers at once. This happens in late summer, coinciding with the availability of fatty seeds and food abundance, allowing them to be replaced fast.

Democracy depends on a fearless and free press. Without press freedom, we do not truly live in a free society. This is why I urge the news media to boycott the White House in response to Trump's ban on CNN, MS Now, and Politico. Giving in to tyranny only invites more of it.

Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6: 
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Panel 7:
AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy. 
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”
