*After watching the Daily Show Kaitlan Collins interview...* Yeah, you're the effing White House Correspondents Association, associate! Set up groups of 3-4 people with a topic per conference that you all ask and follow up on.

Republicans; Say: Have more babies! Do: Criminalize abortions. Result: People die. Democratic Socialist; Say: I want you to afford your life! Let's tackle the big things first... Do: More free and available child care. Result: You can no longer tell your parents money is why you're not having kids.

There's this new thing called #RPGTrader which is kind of like itch.io but specifically for #TTRPG stuff. I'm moving my stuff over there one at a time but I currently have all the maps I made: rpg-trader.com/creator/1298... I would appreciate it if you could take a look. (They're a little old ๐Ÿ˜…)

Monopoly implies that the holders directly or indirectly work to stop new entrants into the field. No musician or artist has ever or could ever stop you from simply deciding to work on the skill and also become a musician or artist. The fact that you decline to isn't a market conspiring against you.

AI users describing talent as a "monopoly". I've never looked at a musician and thought "they have a monopoly". They have a SKILL that I DON'T, meaning if someone wants a tune written, they go to THEM and not ME. Insecure, work-shy neurotics are actually trying to VILIFY skill.

We live in a world where companies will pour billions into AI that can be used to rip off living artists and generate memes, meanwhile we are cancelling federal grants developing AI that can reconstruct ancient fragments of texts from lost empires that no soul has read in 2000 years.
