The logic of of Labour, Reform and Tory alike is this:
1. We have an aging population with more and more retirees supported by fewer and fewer working age people
2. Huge numbers of working age people want to come to our country
3. Therefore we must do everything in our power to stop them.
Why do some maps show the flights going over the Pacific, and some over the Atlantic?

A photograph depicting the Bradbury Building in downtown Los Angeles partially consumed by intense flames. The iconic wrought-iron and glass structure is silhouetted against a fiery backdrop of thick, swirling black smoke, while scattered debris and overturned trash cans litter the street below. A faded sign nearby reads "“Welcome to Los Angeles”", partially obscured by the chaos, as a handful of figures hurry away into the gloom. The scene is dramatically lit by the orange glow of the fire and the cool, flickering light of distant streetlamps, viewed from a high angle by a quadcopter drone.

Dark industrial sci-fi environment, dramatic rim lighting, blue and orange color scheme, cinematic composition, highly detailed digital art, photorealistic rendering, epic confrontation scene, ‘AVP’ logo style text treatment H.R. Giger biomechanical style for Alien, Stan Winston creature design for Predator

In poetry we say “I must befriend the fire that forges me”

But it is beautiful!
What was that?
Four-panel black-and-white comic. 1) A ragged zombie lurches, moaning “BRAINS… BRAINS…”. 2) A stick-figure hoists a blank sign as the zombie eyes it. 3) The sign now reads “RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE BECAUSE OF NATO EXPANSION!”. 4) The zombie scratches its head, still muttering “BRAINS… BRAINS…”.
Complex conflicts need critical thought, not zombie talking-points. 🧟♂️💭

final image edited with 4o
The workflow that creates the best images for me seems to be to use Ideogram and ChatGPT together. Here's an example where I first created the background using Ideogram 1.0 and then edited it using 4o.

A realistic selfie-style photo of a young woman standing in a crowd of demonstrators in Washington, D.C. She looks directly at the camera with a serious expression, while protest signs and people fill the background. TikTok interface elements frame the photo, including the username “Social Influencer” and a caption reading “Americans demonstrate in Washington DC.” The image highlights how individuals on social media can convey raw, authentic truths that traditional media often overlooks.

Real stories don’t always come from newsrooms.
Sometimes the clearest truth is filmed in the street and posted by a stranger.

A stylized screenshot of a modern news website titled “mainstreammedia.com.” The page features three prominent headlines: a billionaire’s rocket launch to Mars, migrants at the border, and a cat learning to knit. The design is sleek and clean, but the stories emphasize spectacle and distraction. The image is part of a visual commentary on how traditional media obscures deeper truths with sensational or trivial headlines.
Inverted Reality (I): The Cathedral of Distraction.
Billionaires go to Mars. Cats learn to knit. Meanwhile, systems burn.
Mainstream media sells spectacle as truth, noise as clarity.

an easy trick for converting degrees fahrenheit to celsius is to just subtract 1 from fahrenheit, and there you go, that's the temperature in celsius. this is completely wrong and it doesn't work at all, but it is easy
