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

I've seen a couple idiots complaining about "elitist game creators" who are "celebrating" the chance to make their games more expensive when they "should be making them less expensive" so people suffering under inflation and tariffs can afford them... And damn folks, way to totally misread it all.

Yes, Cory Booker’s record breaking Senate speech was performance. It was performance in service of an ideal. And in service of resisting fascism. Performance draws eyes. It gets people excited. It makes people talk. It grows the movement. It inspires. And it’s absolutely necessary.
