one of the most infuriating things about the rollout of GenAI media (not going to call it art) is that we were introduced to slop from stolen datasets first, poisoning the well so, potentially cool applications of the tech needs to be met with force so as to not encourage bad actors

"Mexico’s govt said on Thursday that at least 17 Mexican nationals had died either in ICE custody or while targeted during raids since last year." "It ... raised the issue with the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights and urged the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to review the cases."

i genuinely hate how internet culture has become so normalized and widespread. i do not want a white house deputy chief of staff saying "it's white boy november" or a secretary of state tweeting that he's "locked in for this banger." grow up.

If a governor cancels elections within 24 hours of being given permission to draw new districts to eliminate Black voting power, is that enough for a headline to call it "racist" or is it still "racially charged" and "racially tinged" and "what some suggest is racially motivated"

I want to be clear that I don’t have anything against any of their books. Publish all the books you want, but don’t market them by shitting on other people‘s work. In the midst of an unprecedented national book banning crisis, anyone calling any book unclean is carrying water for censors.

honestly the AI rot in crochet and knitting has been getting worse and worse, from the images to patterns that are just slop. there was a point where you could make sense of a clumsy or bad translation, but these days, no, they AI it, and make it incomprehensible

I haven't been to a crafters store, but the amount of AI cross stitch out there is ungodly. Meta apparently pixel tracked my google search for DMC patterns and now my insta feed is full of slop sponcon cross stitch. Etsy is also full of the stuff. Impossible to make. A total scam.

I just re-found this painting, which was in a kid's bible I had growing up. I used to obssess over it, and I'm pretty sure seeing Lucifer here was the first time I thought a man was attractive? Over the years I'd think "it couldn't possibly be as horny as I remember it", but I mean come ON

A painting of Lucifer tempting Jesus in the desert. Lucifer is INCREDIBLY naked, dirty, and lurid, rubbing up ons Jesus' robes from behind; his hand is open in offering and is placed in front of Jesus' crotch

The US can automatically register men to go to war but can’t register them to vote. They can afford billions on war but can’t give their citizens healthcare, housing, childcare or food assistance. War is profitable. People are cannon fodder. It’s exactly how the ruling class wants it.

When you provide people with healthcare, food and housing … their lives change. Their health improves. They’re happier. They’re able to show up in the world. When basic needs aren’t being met everything else falls apart. We are all worthy of care and safety.

To be transparent, I originally switched careers to do art full time because it brought me joy and (at the time) made okay income. I have no invisible safety net, the past 5 years have been very low income, and I frequently wonder how much longer making art is sustainable.

The scene is littered y2k objects. The wall has a poster of Rihanna and of Britney Spears' "Oops!... I Did It Again" album cover. Items on the office desk include a blank CD stack, a pink lava lamp, a VHS on top of a Blockbuster case, and an old landline phone.

The common world, a shared reality in which we can test truth, include voices, and hold power to account, was never given to us. It was always built, and it can be built again, but only if we understand what we're building and why we lost it.

In my opinion, this is exactly how we should understand MAGA. It's not a single ideology, it's a coalition of stacks. Populist grievance, conspiratorial epistemics, and authoritarian power structures operating together, each reinforcing the others.

Which direction isn't predetermined. It's shaped by structural conditions, how degraded the mainstream is, and whether people experience it as reformable or fundamentally hostile. As the mainstream degrades, more counterpublics move contractive.
