Yes, feel free to use my art for protest posters. Please, no altering the drawing or text. And I know many other cartoonists offer this as well- just ask them.
paulpro@mariopro.bsky.social · 6d agoIf you want to use art for your protest poster, many artists don't mind sharing, if you do them the courtesy of asking @anntelnaes.bsky.social
Fantastic thread - I recommend reading it from the start, but if you want to skip the copyright review and go straight to copyright termination rights (a GOOD thing), start here.
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 7d agoSimply put, "termination of transfer" is the statutory right to void any contract you've signed to transfer your copyright to someone else. In the USA, the 1976 Copyright Act introduced a 35-year termination right.

When I was a kid in the '70s, there were so many chestnut trees in New England the fallen nuts were as ubiquitous as acorns. I haven't seen a native chestnut tree in a long, long time. These data centers are a blight of a different kind. Fuck those guys.

YASSSSSSS! I despise my partner's vehicle. While it does have knobs, the knobs CHANGE FUNCTION depending upon what mode the underlying panel is in (climate versus entertainment). Clearly, UI design is a dying art, but it should be paramount in a machine that can kill someone if you're not looking.

Damned good thread...

Take away the accompanying, galactic-scale stock-swindle, and we'd call AI's apps "plug-ins" and we'd use them and abuse them in the same way that we've used every other technology: www.normaltech.ai 1/
I am disheartened that we have to tie ICE's unconstitutional behavior to the price of beef for some people to care, but here we are. That said, I don't think Mafia Don cares, given his chat with Joelsey Batista that helped the Brazilian beef industry. Pull on one thread and lose the whole sweater.

After seeing this vid, I would like to see this brought to the US. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design should be amended to require these posted at ALL public restrooms. Responsible companies should start having them before we are able to mandate them to.
