Ai existence made me way less picky to human made art. Now I like almost everything I see when I know that it’s created by a real person who actually tried. It became way more precious and respectful. Please doodle, sketch, paint, sculpt. You all are incredible
“It doesn't matter which party you vote for, whether it's a Democratic presidential candidate or Republican presidential candidate, they're going to get dog walked by whoever the Prime Minister of Israel is at the time..”

The total blackout in the US national press on the Netanyahu advisor getting arrested in Vegas for trying to have sex with a minor and then being allowed to leave the country story is almost unbelievable
If asked to confirm your age, don't. Move on and do something else. That's one less user. If millions of us don't, that's millions of lost users. If tens maybe hundreds of millions then billions of users don't verify their age no one will ever be asked to verify their age again.
PS when Nazi concentration camps started their “purpose” was deportation. They also began denaturalizing citizens. America is following the Nazi playbook and it’s happening in your face.
Once you build a massive “deportation” machine, an industry really, it will not stop with one category of immigrants, or immigrants at all. It will self-perpetuate new classes of people to detain, to fill detention beds and meet removal quotas. It will create a meal to feast on.
The idea that someone can sign off on the deaths of tens of thousands of people without a care but then you must feel bad for that person when they get sick or die as a show of your humanity is one of the most consistent signs that there’s a hierarchy of lives
the year is 2029. you zipline to your cinema seat with a $60 chicken bucket. the chicken's gone after 40 minutes of ads. the film begins. the guy next to you is scrolling reels at full volume. the film stops after an hour - it's now only available on VOD. it premiered yesterday.
luigi mangione could have been the start of a movement where we as a society tackled the evil of health insurance instead he was sexualized, throw into stan culture, and made into a meme for some haha while insurance companies get to keep on keeping on
Democrats want nothing more than cheap photo ops so they get their 15 seconds of fame and maybe a donation or two. That’s it. It’s unbelievably pathetic and painfully transparent.
capitalism has essentially recreated a new form of serfdom. Gig workers, rideshare drivers, and other app-based laborers, It’s like a high-tech version of sharecropping, they extract a surplus labor without offering stability, perpetually indebted to an algorithm.
Two years from now, I want you to remember that I said this:
There will not be free or fair elections again in America. We elected a dictator, backed by the most corrupt political party in history, and we’re no longer a democracy.
Things won’t get better— only steadily worse.
it’s not about the app. it’s abt America wanting to control EVERYTHING. it’s abt hypocrisy: claiming TikTok is a threat to our data when meta, google, & apple take MORE of our data than TikTok did. it’s abt social media companies being in bed with the gov. it’s abt censorship.
