I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen 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."

This. Giving the franchise publicity via fanart keeps it relevant -> the hag earns money -> the hag uses the money to harm real people. Let it fade into obscurity where it belongs

Fun fact: Fascists did not make the trains run on time. Just propaganda.

This is important: inflation for housing and nearly everything else, inescapable inequity and insecurity, elevated partisanship and distrust of institutions, etc. Why should we look favorably at possibly the most incompetent and venal president's stupidly inflationary and destructive policies?

"New line." "Obsessives." "Rearguard." Maybe you subconsciously know you're full of hot air when you bring out such strident rhetorical weaponry. It's reasonable to suggest that humans, who anthropomorphize just about anything, need to be careful about how we talk and think about these systems.

If you're shouting at the fringe who say this, just go and touch grass instead. Ignore them and stop dopamine vague-posting. If you're talking about an expert or recognized name who is making this claim, go ahead and cite them and let us evaluate their statements, logic, and evidence, if any.

"Think" is a very broad claim. They can reason and infer, and they are impressive when the hallucinations and post-hoc explanation aren't as apparent. I'm sure it's been said before: They think just as submarines swim.

If you can, ex post facto, brand a set of policies as "Rockefeller republican," you can call another set of policies "Mamdani socialism" or whatever you like. Are you arguing about the policies or about the labels?

Seems like mentioning Peter "I saw the Antichrist drinking a piña colada" Thiel's philosophy degree might count as credentialism.

Within the margin of error and perhaps is due to some being pro-coal for political/ideological reasons or to favor regional economies.

I've always felt it's the inevitable result of political groups indifferent to the scale and tenor of lies and propaganda as long as they yield votes and money. That was the devil's bargain with insane conservative talk radio that later metastasized online.

Is the "clanker" part also an issue? As a writing exercise, honestly, I'm curious about what might have an adequate visceral impact but still not trigger immediate pearl-clutching.

Executive Emu @executiveemu.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Which you told me anyway. But perhaps you sort of answered my actual question, in a roundabout way: it may be okay so long as it's not significantly similar to a historical slur. Just trying to understand where the lines are being drawn.
