Roy Lichtenstein, a talent-free dipshit who did nothing but plagiarize much better artists, adding only his sneering contempt for them

I'd never seen this Roy Lichtenstein painting before, but it's incredible how he manages unfailingly to make his copies worse than the original comics he's ripping off.

A drab pop art painting of a sinister man driving a car, watching a stoic blonde in leopard print fur. The proportions of the guy's face are off

The original image, from Girls' Romances 78 by Tony Abruzzo. The guy has a more sinister leer, while the woman has heavier mascara and feels both sadder and more determined. A caption reads "I vowed to myself I would NOT miss my appointment -- that I would NOT go riding with him--yet before I knew it..."

"Everybody should learn a trade" has been a conservative canard for as long as I can remember, and, for as long as I can remember, no one has ever substantiated it with evidence.

If someone caps Michael Tracey--which would be bad, and I do not think it should happen--don't let anyone get away with memorializing him without bringing up the stuff he proudly and publicly said about rape.

Masculinity is not inherently toxic, but compulsory masculine socialization and toxic masculinity are so intertwined that they are, for all practical purposes, inextricable from one another. Therefore, children should be raised as nonbinary and allowed to come to their own gender in their own time.

the thing i love most about King is that he occasionally lapses into truly bonkers phrasing (especially in dialogue) in a way I've never seen Rowling do. Rowling feels like reading a copy of a copy of language; King feels like a transcription of some insane guy in a bar plus a porno mag in the woods

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."

Art and music and dance and story telling are HUMAN ENDEAVORS. It's what we DO. We do not have to be "good" at it, profitable, famous, etc. You do it because you're human. Birds sing because they're birds. Humans create and express themselves the same way. Just have fun.

Bluesky art people, I have an extremely low stakes problem and I'm crowdsourcing the solution: Does anyone know who drew this? (I saved it to my art inspo folder and forgot to make a note of the artist and their online handle. Please identify or boost if you can!)

Very good drawing of a pretty girl in three different outfits: flannel and slacks, work shirt and cargo shorts, and baseball t-shirt. She is eating a hot dog in the last one.

This, so much. These AI hucksters look at stuff other people love doing, like drawing or painting or making music. And, because they have no theory of mind and cannot fathom anyone else enjoying something that they don't also enjoy, all they can say is "Wow, all that hard work for nothing."

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

"AI finally got good enough to think and learn like a person." Unless they replaced the current technology with a different technology while we weren't looking, it did not. And if people are reporting that it did, there's something they're not telling. Extraordinary claims, extraordinary evidence.
