CW: immediate post-rape trauma If you have been sexually assaulted, you might want to skip this. If you have not, I think you should watch it. When people are like “Why didn’t the victim get a rape kit/give a clear report/report it at all?” bc this is what’s happening with *supportive* staff.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

While everyone focuses on the racists and tech boys . Giving them the focus and undermining IP . And everyone keeps trying to justify purely algorithmic thinking The pope is bringing back patronage
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity
