Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

@dansinker.com out here saying what we’re all feeling. Here’s a gem of his from last year. Thanks, friend. #letterpress
Print with Dan Sinker quote: Write it down. I mean that literally. Get a pen get a notebook use your hands. There is something visceral about using your hands and nobody can delete ink on paper with a keystroke. Write it down.

I'm gathering good roasts for a thing....what are the best clean/not punching down ones you know? Or your kids know? Kids often know best on these matters. Every joker who replies with a picture of some roast lamb will be stopped. Perhaps not today. But one day. I mean insults and you know that.

It's just weird isn't it when the British Museum is running a sold-out exhibition, when The Odyssey reports $1billion at the box office, when the V&A has just opened the most innovative and accessible museum model in Europe....and this is what our minister for research comes out with.

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

If we are to truly resist fascism, we must reject the idea that only the strong survive. We must categorically reject any notion that worth is determined by physical ability or socioeconomic status or what you produce under capitalism. We must build networks of community care.
