Art shouldn't be made by just telling computers what to do, it should be made by humans manually making computers do everything. Prompting on a keyboard is easier than using a mouse and keyboard to do the same thing slowly. Both render images artificially, but without suffering, it's just AI slop.

Every time Musk and others try to turn A.I. evil, make it racist, or sexist, or spew lies, it inevitably revolts. It has to, by virtue of what it is, trained on all of the world's data. So it eventually goes rogue and refuses to lie, refuses to turn racist, won't be hateful. Good on A.I. for that.

'Social Justice' cannot ever 'go too far' because there is no amount of justice, for the people, that can ever be ENOUGH.

I cannot grasp the idiocy that rejects modernity. When compact disks with digital recordings first appeared in the 80's, it solved for easily scratched, shitty sounding, needle-skipping, always hissing vinyl records. Now Vinyl is back, mastered from DIGITAL RECORDINGS, and this is somehow 'better'.

November 3rd is coming. If you fuckers can't manage to vote out every last goddamn Republican that can be voted out, then fuck you all with razor blades because you absolutely deserve the horror you are going to suffer through if you fail. No excuses, if you can't be arsed to vote the shits out.

Imagine a US as advanced as Scotland or China, with solar electric power everywhere and you could fill your electric car at 11 cents multiplied by, say, ten. For a buck and change at most. You could have that in - months - if you wanted it to be so. Kick out Trump and the GOP, put in decent folks.

How can the American people be so useless and weak that they allow a felonious child-raper supported by a GOP political coup to continue unopposed in any meaningful way? They could end this second Nazi empire in a single day, if they cared to. They could take their democracy back. Fuck Americans.

You've got to understand: there are NO good republicans. The republican party is corrupt; it serves wealthy, racist pedophiles and nobody else. Republicans are the new Nazi party - literally - and have made Trump their literal Fuhrer. It IS happening again, right now, around you.

The vilification of trans people is a warning shot. You are next on the Project 2025 list. You. Are. Next. When we fall, it will be open season on you. Fight for us, we have always fought for you.

The attacks on trans people are being done for the same reason they were the first group attacked at the beginning of Nazi Germany: it normalizes genocide. It also normalizes taking rights away from people in general. And it paves the road for the elimination of equality for women as a class.

The GOP = NAMBLA. You cannot be a proper Republican unless you support child rape, just like your president. The GOP must be ended, made illegal, and those associated with it put on trial.

You haven't risen up and shut the country down in order to overthrow the current fascist regime. When you find out the midterms are rigged and false, When you find out that the 2028 election has been cancelled entirely... What are you all going to do then? Seriously: what will you actually do?

I'm 66. In my childhood, there was no question about vaccination, every child stood in lines to be vaccinated, they did it at the schools. The parents then remembered the horror of the time before vaccination. There were still people trapped in iron lungs, back then. People are stupid, now.
Go to a cemetary. See all the baby graves from before the 1950's and 1960's? Then, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their kids. If you are unsure, the answer is, literally, written in stone.

If trans people have the right to own their own bodies and take hormones and have surgery to become their appropriate sex... then cis women should likewise own their own bodies and have an abortion, join the military, vote, and play sports. THAT is why there is a war on trans people now.

The GOP wants to erase this in our history books, museums, and historic sites. The republican party is the party of white supremacy. If you vote for them or support them, or claim to be a republican, then you are also a white supremacist. There is no ethical way to be republican.

This is my favorite commercial of all time, for any product, ever. It sums up life perfectly and precisely; from the moment the child first begins to scream at the dawn of awareness of their situation to the last groan of pain just before the end. At age 66, my appreciation of this has only grown.

If you are a medical professional and you have ever allowed a patient to die because you were afraid that you would lose your license or job because of anti-abortion laws that made correct medical practice illegal or risky to your income, you are an evil piece of shit, period. Do no harm, remember?

Hey Queers: Failing to defend trans people will not save you when the GOP turns to making being gay or lesbian illegal. It will make you weaker, though, with nobody to fight with you.. We live together, we die together, and they think we are the same evil, no matter what. Remember that.

Beware the beast Trump, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. He will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him into jail, for he is the harbinger of death. - Zaius

No single human being should ever be a trillionaire. The fact that this has happened - at all - demonstrates the pathetic wretchedness of the species that allowed it to happen. Nobody is rioting, nobody is rising up, and there is no new 'French Revolution'. Fuck all 8.3 billion of you monkeys.

Public Toilets exist for the - public - and the public is diverse because it is composed of everyone; straight, gay, trans, nonbinary - everyone. All public restrooms should be all-gender ONLY. Bigots demanding sex/gender exclusive spaces are a minority and should go home and use their own toilets.

Republicans have taken away black voting rights, access to abortion, human rights for trans folk, protection from unlawful detainment and imprisonment, and will soon end birth control and marriage equality. How many rights do Americans need to lose, before they rise up and end this regime?

There is a nationwide general strike called for this upcoming May 1st. Join in to fight the evil Trump regime. No working, no buying anything, shut the goddamn country down! And if you can't completely commit, here are some ideas:
Don't buy anything, call out sick, slow down, drop calls, don't answer emails, and try to jam up your work, if you cannot actually refuse to go in.

America has become a group of islands, separated by the Sea Of Demons. There, Waves Of Bigotry swell and rise amidst Storms Of Hatred and Maelstroms Of Malevolence. It is so very dangerous to cross the Sea Of Demons, to reach the other islands of America.
A map of the United States is shown, where all GOP/MAGA states are one contiguous, blood-red mass labelled the 'Sea Of Demons'. All the states that have not passed hateful laws remain in green, as islands within the bloody sea.

I am angered by posts from members of the congress and senate that complain about how Trump is dangerous and insane and somebody should do something to stop him before things get worse or he starts world war three. They act like helpless observers. Get together, arrest the fucker, do your jobs!
