I don't know man, sounds to me like socialists are just regular people who think their taxes should be used to somewhat improve society rather than making super rich people even more money.

There's demand for cheap, low quality goods because good portion of population is extremely impoverished, and not expression of mass frugality. It's a side effect of living in extremely unequal world.

Terry Pratchett But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness.

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

I also strongly believe that innovation and expression are not synonyms and that the art world's prioritisation of innovation is capitalistic, and has a history in tandem with capitalism, and that its perfectly possible to express yourself in a form that hasn't moved for a thousand years

I dunno man, I think if I was going to imply that artists who I’ve decided aren’t expressing themselves sufficiently are responsible for the conditions leading to generative ai, and then go on to say that being new and different and wanting to express something that no one has ever thought before is kinda in my DNA, I’d have tried a bit harder to make some art that was either technically or thematically new or different or expressing something that no one has ever though before, first.

Since art is generic and i love to tweet and retweet or post un-artwork-related pictures maybe i should make separate tag so people can check it outside of following me, or block it at all if its their desire

Mass arrests took place outside Westminster Magistrates' Court earlier today as hundreds joined a Defend Our Juries' "Graduation Day" protest against the Palestine Action ban. Founder Huda Ammori has just been granted permission to appeal the ban. ~50 arrests reported as of 2:45pm 🧵

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

"Modern vernacular fantasy ideas get read backwards into a text that is perceived as having originated them but which doesn’t really contain them" is such a good way to put that phenomenon, holy shit. I've always wanted to find the right way to articulate that point.
