I made myself a practice book by stapling a stack of A4 paper together. Compared to a beautifully bound dedicated sketchbook, drawing in this book reduces my expectations and pressure for a perfect picture, because it's just a doodle book~
Here is my reaction to some of the apologetics problems that have come up in Orthodox and Protestant discussion about salvation and where the true Church is and how those are related. Hopefully it is helpful to the discussion. @OrthodoxEthos , @Acts17David , @gavinortlund , @C2Antiquity , @JayDyer , @Alex_Ortodoxie
“Garfield doesn’t just ‘hate Mondays.’ He embodies the primordial recoil of the flesh against the return of cosmic order. The weekend is a miniature Eden: lasagna, sleep, chaos without consequence.
Then Monday arrives like the flaming sword: time, duty, the boss (Jon), the pattern that pulls us back into the fallen world of work and limitation.
The cat sees what we pretend not to: every Monday is a small exile. And yet the pattern must be walked.”
Yeah finally the reign of the boomer and millennial slop comes to an end. Put ur marvel toys away, it’s time for God’s chosen generation to create art on a level that has never been witnessed before
Everyone is trying to make this about “finallyyyyy we young people are being given a chance ✨😌💅🏾” Yeah. We just had a discourse a few days ago about the creator of the Powerpuff Girls only having been like 24 at the time — normal young white guy btw.
Remember, we have a surplus of millions of “young people” in creative programs throughout the country. Many of whom have been given incredible opportunities but still have produced nothing of note.
Perhaps it’s less about “young people finally having opportunities” and more that for the first time in memory, some young white guys in creative spaces have had the boot taken off their necks, and the results seem to square with pretty much every other time young white guys are able to cook unimpeded by the tears and scolding of basically everyone else.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
“Hitler, by the way, was a most interesting apocalyptic phenomenon. Besides his insane jealousy of the Jews, which led him to destroy them so that the Germans could be the “chosen race” and he the Messiah (I even recall, though I can’t find the source, that he once said that if he couldn’t be the Messiah then he would willingly be Antichrist) he was himself basically a Bolshevik with an idol-worship of Lenin and Communist techniques who saw 20th-century world history as a battle between his National Bolshevism and Soviet international Bolshevism, and who when he saw the end of his hopes gave his political inheritance to the Soviets in the words: “The future belongs to the stronger Eastern power [nation].” In the last days of the war the Nazis organized “werewolves” who took their inspiration from the positively “mystical” broadcasts of Goebbels to the effect that since the war was lost, Germany and Europe must be positively destroyed so that the new order of the future could be built on the total ruin and ashes of everything man had hitherto valued and built. Hitlerism, in short, is only the handmaid of Communism, which in turn points to the “mystical” pinnacle of modern times: Antichrist. Hitler, also, while anti-monarchist, kept the crown and scepter of the Holy Roman Emperors “just in case”

this is video marketing aimed at investors, "look at how scared your potential future wage slaves are, that's how powerful our Product is". he doesn't code switch for the Poors because there's no need to, it's a commercial for other rich people to watch
Better yet, a euphemism for psychic camouflage. Many are totally unable to see that masses of people in plain clothes can be soldiers at sleep until violence is needed as suppression or that doctors are soldiers hiding in their professional garb which is actually uniform. See now
You know, it's bad enough being erased out of your own homeland, but being written out of your own history and myth is an insult and crime beyond measure, something perhaps never attempted before in history.
@PaulSkallas@PerryALPHA The job of hollywood is not to provide entertainment for its own sake. Most of it atrocity disguised as art. It is a military apparatus that scripts and projects revisions to social mores. Any artistic or entertainment value is only to diminish the symptoms of living in captivity
