It’s been a while since I posted stating that ICE is a terrorist organization. I feel better now.

It’s interesting that so many people don’t understand that AI art is gross. How do people not understand that an artist spending years or decades honing their craft is different than generative AI? Those who don’t consider the difference are pitiful dupes. Those who don’t care are shitheads.

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

The Department of Homeland Security was established in 2002 as part of the Bush administration’s war on terror.

The end of Whiplash except it's the Mute City theme from F-Zero.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I wonder how many billionaires dress up as Cenobites at their ritual murder parties.

We need reparations for the data that was and is being stolen from us and the companies that are doing it should be hit with a class action lawsuit and disolved.

In order for fascists to do what they do and believe what they believe they have to kill their own heart every day. It tries to heal constantly so they need to kill it constantly. So when you criticize them they become more aware of this war they are waging on themselves and they lash out.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I need a recommendation for a USB-A midi interface for my keyboard that isn’t super laggy. Please and thank you.

Cruelty is the official state religion of the US. Every system and structure: patriarchal state, political, military, education and law enforcement have a primary doctrine. Humans shall be programmed for cruelty. Humans who are programmed for cruelty will uphold the status quo of a violent system.

Some actors were arrested for protesting outside the UN headquarters in NYC and you KNOW the cops that arrested them gotta have no idea who they are.

Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil was fun.

Gavin Newsom is a sociopath.

I saw a post where someone was commenting on Ed Sheeran’s tattoos and they called them “spiritually Israeli.” I’ve heard this before and I think it’s going to become common language to describe a hollow facade. A poorly constructed and unconvincing facsimile of something meaningful.

I'm sometimes very aware of my shortcomings as an artist but at least I haven't got meal brain like Ed Sheeran.

We speak with moral philosopher Susan Neiman, author of the new book, "Call It Evil: Understanding the Trump Era." Neiman argues that evil — far from being an outdated religious concept — is a vital way to understand how injustice works in the world.

Apolitical means right wing.

Fascists are junkies. Addicted to abuse. You can make them “drink” on command by holding up a mirror to their cruel behavior or beliefs. They must then cope by reaching for the bottle. By bottle I mean they cope by abusing people. Mere junkies is all they are.

Zionism is fascism. Israel is carrying out a genocide. If you support Israel you support the starvation and murder of children.

If your ancestors knew you would be working in AI mass surveillance they would have chosen to not have children.

Right-wingers think the Earth was 3d printed 6000 years ago.

They should invent a country that has no internet and just uses paper for accounting. Computers have given too much power to the wrong people.

If you’re depressed consider this: you haven’t chosen to be an instrument of the powers that are actively trying to make the Earth uninhabitable. The tragedy of their existence isn’t your responsibility. You process your pain and don’t inflict pain on others. Know I’m proud of you stranger.

I support whatever Ariana Grande wants to do with a chainsaw.

I can think of a few countries that have gone cyberpsycho.

America's only chance at a comeback, and it's a longshot, is if Dems take back power the prosecute the Trump admin thoroughly and mercilessly.

It’s funny that platforms believe people will put up with age verification and risk uploading their IDs.

I remembered Farscape so I started rewatching it.
