I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

In 2016 I started this big paper collage (6x6 ft, all torn/cut by hand) that quickly devolved into a chaotic/grotesque portrait of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States

I stopped working on it in 2021, nearly a year after J6

This🧵is about the ideas, sources, & references that inform it

58% of Photographers Have Lost Work to Generative AI: Survey Commissioned works are down.

98.4% [of photographers] want $ for past infringements by ai corps.

96.1% believe there should be mandatory labeling for ai-generated works.

89.9% not interested in licensing their images as data for machine learning.

85.3% want default position to be ‘opt-in’ for ai training, not ‘opt-out.’

April 15th: Lincoln died today, the Titanic sank today, it's Tax Day. Hm I have an idea of something which could happen today which would really turn this date in history around...

This is why I'm always going on about how liberals and centrists have accepted that some degree of suffering must be baked into society. 10-20% suffering... whatever it is. That's the table stakes. Refusing to allow themselves to even dream of a world where this is an obvious affront.

Everyone here is overly familiar with the Nazi bar analogy. If 8 people at the bar are "doing fine" and 2 people are destitute and suffering then you live in a society of destitution and suffering.

Exactly what Kate said.

Whenever someone asks me where the Mayor should get the $150 million more funds for NYC public libraries, the answer is the cops. Period.

zackeryatlas 12h The degradation of society: 1. Celebrating the k!lling of a CEO 2. Cheering on warehouse arsons 3. Making heroes out of people who attempt political violence You can be outraged at the system and still not glorify violence. These aren't wins. This is a society losing its moral compass. [Coming from a liberal btw]

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

Politically homeless? Hope you're sitting down,

truly, fuck Kevin o'leary. stop treating him like hes some fun, quirky guy you see on tv.

The idea that the rest of the world should do something about Trump, but it's completely ridiculous to expect the American people to do something about Trump, really is the perfect distillation of the American mindset.

let's be clear about what's happening: donald trump and benjamin netanyahu, whose countries have been committing genocide in gaza since 2023, unilaterally started a war with iran, and are now threatening genocide there.

It's kinda funny that movie critics have to review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Do architecture critics have to write about the ballpit at a McDonalds Playscape?

i can't believe people say this just because he consistently funded and armed the israeli military while they were actively committing genocide, even circumventing congress to ensure quick delivery of money and weapons that were immediately used to murder thousands of innocent civilians

Should rich people get free stuff from the government? No. They can already afford that stuff. Which is why we shouldn't give it to poor people either

the top of the statue, where the person at the top of the slope has his hand outstretched so the viewer can "help" pull him up

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing

On Nov 2024, airline execs were giddy about trump winning so that Biden era consumer protections could be reversed, etc. None more so than Delta’s CEO. Now Trump’s reckless war may ruin them, even put some out of business.

Graph of snow water equivalent in the state of Colorado for 2026 relative to climatological statistics since the 1980s. 2026 is current a record low around peak conditions typically in March and April.

Awful. Conditions just continue to worsen for Colorado's snowpack (and across many other western U.S. states), with average snow water equivalent nosediving after the historic March heatwave. (which actually continues today with more record heat!)

don't forget to leave a hot dog out on the counter tonight, or baseball won't leave you any presents

What the fuck are you talking about man

Nomenclature is tough, but calling yourself “The Woke Ginger” or “Liberal Bojack Horseman” is just shameful. Like trying to force a nickname in grade school. Shut up, RANDALL. Nobody is calling you “Ace.” We know what you are.

wow, a rare depiction of the coolest guy who ever lived.

I've just reviewed my 52nd Sticky Toffee Pudding. But what did it get out of 10?
