FIFA painted over a beautiful, long-standing mural in Downtown Dallas.
It was gifted to the city by marine life artist & conservationist Wyland in the 90s as a reminder to protect our beloved oceans.
What an unnecessary loss, especially given no matches are actually in Dallas.
I am always complaining about Dallas's complete lack of interest in preserving history. The Wyland Whale wall, completed in '99 in downtown Dallas, is being painted over for a FIFA ad. The ghouls who are destroying this city should be tarred and feathered.
I’m so done with the “it’s here” argument. “It’s here” is utterly meaningless. You don’t aid and abet widely destructive tech just by virtue of it BEING HERE
I really hate how normalized it’s becoming again for people without any disabilities to say the r-slur and it has absolutely everything to do with our current political climate
Genuinely AI hate or not aside, can we at LEAST put these off until we find a more eco-friendly way of implementing them???
Like this is going FAR beyond the initial (valid) complaints for AI (“it stole my art!”, “it took my job!”, etc). IT’S LITERALLY KILLING OUR HOME.
so many times i’ve had people in my life try to tell me to stop listening to sad music when i’m already sad/depressed/going through the motions, but it truly feels like being understood by someone, that someone is saying the words you can’t find
