Once our food production is destroyed by the climate crisis, I guess we will have no choice but to eat the rich. Probably quite marbled and tender. futurism.com/scientists-w...

Scientists Just Found Who's Causing Global Warming

Our labor has built a system where mediocre sociopaths can become ultra rich and powerful, allowing them to gratify themselves in the worst of human behaviors with impunity. Same old story. There are better ways to run this project we call humanity.

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Hey folks. This needs to be said. Loudly. Crawford's win in Wisconsin is a big deal. Democracy beat bribery. A Democrat won a heated electoral contest. Public opinion was against Musk/DJT. We are in the midst of a struggle, and it sure as hell isn't over.
