My neighbor's building a labyrinth in his backyard. One of those big, sprawling ones you hear so much about.
Now he's complaining to me he's got minotaurs. Says they keep getting into his trashcans.
I tell him you're gonna get minotaurs if you build labyrinths, but does he listen
@nexta_tv The year is 2026. A robot in a clown wig kicks a Chinese child to the tune of a 1978 German reggae/disco band made up of Jamaican and Aruban musicians singing about a Russian mystic in 1916… annnnnd that’s enough internet for today.
Jack Antonoff slammed people who use AI to make art and music as "godless whores":
"So to everyone who is gassed up about the new ways you can fake making art, by all means drive right off that cliff. We're genuinely happy to see you go. Generations coming will be engaging in the ancient ritual of writing, recording and performing as it comes to us from God." https://t.co/K5XI8DbKse
There are millions or even billions of people in this world who fundamentally do not understand that children everywhere are the same. This precious child, the tens of thousands dead in Gaza—people don’t connect them to the idea of their own child being violently killed.
The US soldiers who are getting killed in Iran were not heroes. They did not die defending their country. They did not die fighting to protect Americans. They died advancing the geostrategic agendas of oligarchs and empire managers which benefit ordinary Americans in no way.
It's important not to valorize these people for two reasons. Firstly, it assists US military recruitment by falsely portraying these imperial stormtrooper careers as noble and heroic. Secondly, it falsely frames the war they died in as a righteous cause which is making the world a better place, rather than as a war of aggression against a nation that posed literally zero threat to their homeland.
These are not harmless little white lies. They are extremely destructive propaganda narratives which facilitate acts of mass military slaughter on real human beings.
Don't assist the warmongers in circulating these lies. Don't pretend they are true to help people feel nice feelings about the dead soldiers. People should not be feeling nice feelings about the dead soldiers. People should be angry and upset, and they should be demanding that this horrific war end immediately.
Those soldiers did not die for any noble reason. They died for money, for power, and for Israel. They wasted their lives, and they died for stupid, unworthy reasons. Don't let anyone claim otherwise.
Is anyone else feeling unprecedentedly angry?? Why the fuck do we have to sit and watch morally bankrupt politicians annihilate societies instead of looking after their own? How the fuck does Israel have so much support. @MarkJCarney I pray you listen to Cdns on this one
