Key distinction: being bipartisan isn't good enough in a world where more Americans don't identify strongly with either major party. We need trans-partisan solutions that value our independent Americans as a major force. #UnrigTheSystem

Maybe in his imagined virtual world in which everything is software systems controlled by the brains of humans and computers, but our bodies are more than brains and there is deep wisdom in our relationships to other species and our geographies.

While I agree that the culture of the people are more the country than the land, I think Elon has a major blind spot: that cultures have evolved alongside their relationship to their land, climate, and the plants and animals of their ecosystem.

@bilawalsidhu Seems like video feeds are now on similar path to SEO text content, with AI tools scaling up volume exponentially, dramatically reducing % expressions of authentic human experience.

Money made for traffic bots with continued increase in human loneliness and disconnection 😬😞

@umesh_ai @LumaLabsAI Yeah I’m going to try editing the photos to remove any unnecessary noise like other objects in background so that the portraits are at least more exclusively focused on her face.

But inherently since they are real archival photos they aren’t going to be as perfectly aligned.

[Colin Mutchler @activefree]

@umesh_ai Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to do a similar life timelapse, but with my real grandmother as source material instead of AI generated characters.

Since photos aren't designed for the workflow, and @LumaLabsAI keeps transitioning entire scene instead of face only. Any ideas?

@PicturesFoIder This is the correct answer since hippos are vegetarians anyway

[Colin Mutchler @activefree]

@PicturesFoIder Obviously Hippo since they eat plants. All the others would want to kill and eat me. https://t.co/xTHWrm0xQw.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

If you're angry that I gave a giant asshole $8 so I could get an "edit tweet" button, holy shit are you going to be furious when you find out where the fossil fuels that heat my house come from.

Shopping your way out of monopoly capitalism is a fool's errand.

You are not an ambulatory wallet. Shopping isn't politics.

Politics are politics: organizing, writing, speaking, voting, ringing doorbells, marching.

Shopping.

Is.

Not

Politics.

@bilawalsidhu Loving following your experimentations @bilawalsidhu. The use case I'm interested in is recreating 360 memories of a local place. So imagine using Google Streetview data of a city block, feeding archival photos of that block, and recreating what it could have been. Possible?

[Colin Mutchler @activefree]

Prediction: the breakthrough experience will be putting a relatively photo realistic version of your FaceTime partner on a chair or couch in your living room.

@sama Many animals and other beings have consciousness and experience time and memory at similar and sometimes superior levels as humans.

I’ve spent the past year visiting memorials, monuments, and museums in Germany, exploring how that country remembers the Holocaust. I wanted to understand if there was anything the U.S. could learn. The story is out now on the cover of @TheAtlantic:

"Stolen Wealth, Hidden Power: The Case for Reparations for Mass Incarceration" is out TODAY! So grateful to @megan_comfort and @Maura_R for believing in it from the beginning and to my magnificent partner, @gretchengehrke for moving mountains to make it possible for me to write.

What if we added native maps of original nations to downtown historical signage? Deepening our experience of the history of our place.

"The frequency seems to be increasing .... mostly juvenile males." Maybe the activists from the ocean are starting to get organized.

I found this article interesting and relevant. https://t.co/TRm9NwPVOk

A friend is looking for legal counsel familiar with @creativecommons licenses. In particular, they're exploring CC in combination with an agreement to address culturally appropriate adaptation of content or accountability mechanisms when content is mis-appropriated.

@tonystubblebine @Medium Congrats Tony, that’s such exciting news! ❤️

“Democrats spend too much time & energy imagining policies that a capable government could execute and not nearly enough time imagining how to make a government capable of executing them. It’s not only markets that have failed.” Agreed ⁦@ezraklein⁩ https://t.co/PPQG0g8Zd7
