While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

Friends don’t let friends participate in AI “art” trends without giving them at least a little shit. If your friend had spinach in their teeth you’d tell them. This is the spinach-in-teeth of art. Also? AI art is BAD for the environment, in terms of energy use, water use, and other resources!!

#OtD 13 Apr 1985 Danuta Danielsson, the Polish-Jewish daughter of a Holocaust survivor, hit a neo-Nazi on the head with her handbag in Växjö, Sweden. The Nazis were then chased out of town. We have some anti-fascist merch here to help fund our work: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

This is especially bullshit when it comes to trans rights, considering everything the right complains about (trans women playing in women’s sports, kids receiving puberty blockers and hormonal treatment, people using restrooms as they see fit) was NOT brand new, but was in fact the status quo

Shocking victory for socialists as Finland’s MAGA party “True Finns” loses 55% of its voter base. Trump is pushing Finland left with astonishing speed.

“That movie you love from 20 years ago doesn’t hold up.” Well guess what neither does your personality from 20 years ago. Maybe The AV Club should do an article about that.

"oh no, this'll make the right wing mad!" Buddy they get into a frothing rage over like, cereal mascots and cartoon characters and the mere existence of gay people and what oil a French fry is cooked in and women knowing how to read, etc. They'll get mad anyway, no matter what. Tell em to fuck off

this level of frothing misogyny makes me feel weirdly zen—if men hate women enough to justify nuking the entire economy in order to take them down a peg, well, there wasn't really anything that anyone could have done to stop it

Okayyy artist introduction time! Hey, my name's Tas and I'm an Australian palaeontology student and palaeoartist. I've been captivated by prehistory almost my whole life and trying to draw it for just as long! I mostly do digital, pencil and papercraft work but anything else is fun too!

The first couple months after the REAL ID deadline are gonna be such a mess. There's zero chance your average once-a-year airline passenger has any idea that's even happening or that they'll just be turned away at security with no recourse. Would be a disaster under any admin, but especially now.

This no autism thing is like saying there used to be no schizo or bi-polar people. Yeah, there were. They were burned at the stake or killed other ways for being possessed by demons. How stupid are ya'll? Seriously. C'mon. We've been here a long time, morons. Catch up.

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

There's been a committed effort by people like Richard Hanania into mainstreaming race science and eugenics and it's, shamefully, mostly worked. Hanania in particular is a crude, blathering moron bigot using fourth rate statistics to justify his gutter bigotry

Tariffs do not work when your manufacturing base has gone through decades of offshoring and deindustrialization. You need to build a highly educated and skilled workforce, invest in infrastructure, and ramp up public investment. Right now it's protectionism without production.

The prep you have to do for a colonoscopy is exhausting. It's a list of foods you can and can't have, followed by fasting and laxatives. It's an entire week of having discipline so you don't roll up to your doctor and literally shit all over them. So naturally Trump didn't do any of it. Bet.

And what the HELL is up with this funky punctuation mark that I think is supposed to signify someone calling from off-screen? Whoever subbed this needs to be committed, and then called "a genius who wasn't understood in their day" after all of us are dead.
