When I post the Monsters of Ohio art, some dipshit will bray about it being "AI" despite my crediting the artist (Michael Koelsch), there being many examples of his work in the pre-"AI" era, and my long-established "No 'AI'" rule regarding my work. These "AI" finger-pointers can go fuck themselves.
The really excellent cover for "Monsters of Ohio," by Michael Koelsch. It has a tentacle monster using coupons!

The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

I dunno much about Maness or Anderson but Schlicter is a straight-up fascist who wants to among other things "use the law to ensure blue submission" and "imprison dissenters" to achieve the aim, "force them to be like us."
2021 Schlicter posts: 

For too long red state conservatives have offered to live and let live with blue state liberals but the blues are evangelical Marxists who cannot allow us to provide a counter example of freedom. 1/

So, no more. We must, by any means necessary, force them to be like us. No quarter. No compromise. 2/

Ban CRT, Marxism and anti-American misinformation. Nationalize big tech and academia and mandate conservatism as their operational ideology. Ban leftist media and entertainment from spreading misinformation.3

Penalize barren, non-familial lifestyles through taxes and disqualification from political participation. Establish property and military service qualifications for voting. Increase America’s carbon footprint. Ban masks. Dismantle unions.n4/

Use the law to ensure blue submission. Imprison dissenters. Force them to act against their deepest beliefs to keep their jobs. End all social programs and deport all illegals. Outlaw crime again. 5/

Some "AI" fluffer on the Internet explaining how I don't really understand "AI" because I just write Star Trek fan fiction, meanwhile, here's "AI" incorrectly explaining why I dislike black currants by attributing a quote to me that was made by someone else Yeah, I get "AI" just fine, thanks
John Scalzi dislikes black currants because of their peculiar, highly medicinal flavor profile. During a review of international snacks, he sampled black currant-flavored candies and gave them a dismal 3/10 rating, noting they were generally strange, had stale textures, and tasted like an unpleasant, odd concoction.

Scalzi on Taste and Texture

John Scalzi documents his food and candy trials on his official blog, detailing exactly why the black currant flavor missed the mark for him.“...the black currant was just generally strange. And all of them were hard and stale instead of soft and gummy. They were unpleasant and earned a 3/10 from both of us."

Also, it gets cold in winter. Warmer doesn't mean hot or hot all the time. Astonishing people still say "where's the global warming" when we get a snow storm (Trump just posted it, too). It's the brain-deadest climate science denial statement, and that's saying a lot.
