so found this take interesting, I know people who are anti AI in art, cause of the stealing that has happened. But, as he points out, it's a tool too, and imo the genie is out of the bottle.

so to be that guy.... Rep. Mace just tweeted that she'll be speaking tonight at 7 P.M. EDT - so like 6 P.M. EST then??? I sadly don't expect her to understand the difference, but still... or is this like an Apple even invite and she's signaling her bill to abolish standard time...

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

"There's me." Still one of the most bad-ass lines I've ever read in Fantasy. Not part of a grand monologue or an epic battle. Just a 9 year old girl talking to a frog, deciding to stand against the darkness, because 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭?
