I like good food, good wine, and really really bad 80's pop music.
There are other things about me, but you'd find them even less interesting.

The sudden immolation of Western Civilization is, above all else, a series of marketing opportunities.

Exit polling looks right in line with reported vote counts around the country, so it would take an extraordinary amount of evidence to make me even consider that Trump stole the election.
We need to free ourselves from this all-engulfing smog of disinformation or western civilization will crash.

You're helping me feel pretty good about my decision to peace-out on DBZ over two decades ago when they started fighting some bubble gum that made baby noises.

My best guess is that most of them are desperate to feel like they've created something, so they chhose to stay blind to aeeing all they're doing is asking AI to devour actual art and exude the soulless, tasteless, grey paste that comes from digesting it all into their hands. Idiots.

It's a fair point, but I still say don't save them the trouble of coming up with the stuff themselves.
Besides, China is only interested in how the Israel-Iran conflict helps China. That's always the beginning, middle, and end to Chinese diplomacy.

LoL, the dude block replied me. Let me guess, some dumb shit where he says I just don't get that it's "art"? It's fucking wild that these AI buffoons trick themselves into believing that filling in a prompt is the same as a lifetime of practice and hard work.

Big fan of Walz, but why gift the GOP months of messaging they can use to trash him as a Chinese sympathizer?

Where did the cops take him for dinner before booking him?

I'm guessing the cops were very gentle with him and took him out for a nice dinner before booking.

As long as we can all agree that AI "art" is theft and that the idea of being an "AI artist" is laughably stupid. It's like someone ordering dinner takeout and then claiming that act makes them a chef.

No. Of course it's not. But to his base of supporters, it's singular adulation . They put "Trump" flags and his fetid face everywhere. Pomp and circumstance. Strongman theatrics.
You're arguing what's nearly a distinction without a difference anyway. Apologies for the like and the supportive reply.

Because people, and I think you'll find this interesting, are fucking idiots.

It's almost never absolute but it's silly to say that you don't think Trumpism is primarily a movement of demagoguery. It just is.

That hot dog tapering at the top is going to sit with me for a while. I think I'm going to find a quiet place and have a think.

This reminds me of the "cat lady vote/blue wave" mirage and, way before that, the damnable introduction of "The Secret" to the zeitgeist by Oprah. We just keep papering over reality with whatever bullshit comforts us in the moment, allowing civilization to rot and decay behind the façade. Fuck us.

3YL is a Notary Public, I'm told (by him). He's pretty good at absurdist schtick, but not worth going back there for. I'll just never finance a waterbed in his honor.

"We at the NYT were interested in hearing a variety of American voices talk about the political and cultural rifts in the United States, so we talked to these five guys wearing white hoods at a truck stop in Chickenfuck, Arkansas."

A bonus difference between McRibs and Trump is that McRibs don't show up on Epstein's flight logs.

You went from letting your "political scientist" drive the bus to invoking the full power of your inner "Chaos Muppet™" in quick succession here.
It's like a history teacher saying "Fuck it, let's watch "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" after twenty minutes of lecturing and I'm here for it.

Brunei in '62 (4% population) & Bahrain in the twenty-teens (6% population) didn't work out that way. Even an author of the original study has spoken about the breaks in the rule and the changing dynamics of movements.
It was still a great day of protest, but the meme is a bit off from reality.

I want to like this meme, but I'm guessing it's AI. AI "art" is theft.
I don't suppose you could put my mind at ease by crediting an actual artist?

What future historians write depends on who wins right now. If it's Trumpism and the fascist right, history books will look back very kindly on those that were complicit for decades.
"The long arc of the moral universe" does not passively bend towards justice. We need to stop pretending it does.

I expected the death of democracy in the US to be bloody, scary, and tumultuous. What I didn't expect is how fucking cringe it is. How embarrassing. How stupid.
It's like dying of autoerotic asphyxiation in a public fountain. Christ.

More likely the cops let their co-worker run off to the next target.

Truth. In a way it's absolutely fascinating the way nicotine will quickly rewire your CNS in ways that will persist for the rest of your life. It gives you real "free choice is an illusion" vibes.
