Anti-fascism is a global humanitarian duty. Our basic freedoms depend on the vigilance, justness and transparency of democratic systems around the world and their fight against corroding and hateful fascist politics and rhetoric. Simple as. #antifa #AntiFascism

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

Catholics have a real faith that provides them a catechism for viewing art as art. American Protestantism is histrionic and unmoored so anything can be interpreted as the devil.

Brazilian Loser Flavio Bolsonaro, who lost the presidential election, has been ordered to surrender his passport. Take note America, this is how corrupt leaders should be treated.

Todo dia 1 de maio, uma estátua de São Domingos de Sora (um abade do século X), venerado por intercessão contra febres, mordidas de cães raivosos e picadas de cobras, é levada em procissão na cidade de Cocullo, na região de Abruzzo, Itália, com várias serpentes vivas.

The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar!

This is most definitely NOT what resistance looks like. A bunch of people politely filing down a street with zero demands and zero consequences if they don't get them is nothing more than a parade. Switch your channel to France to see what a protest with balls looks like.

so in awe of young people in paris rising up against a collapsing neoliberal order that has failed and betrayed them, situating themselves in the country's tradition of republican agitation (i saw more than one 67-68 sign) and facing police violence with fearlessness + solidarity

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked. The Israeli military changing the landscape of Gaza in Rafah and removing the traces of genocide. A video that the world must never forget.

It's actually not embarrassing at all, as any art that's not AI is automatically ontologically, ethically and aesthetically better than AI art, meaning: simply just better art.

I'm sorry but when artists go like "my art is better than this AI slop" and then post art that's not like super impressive it's just really embarrassing.
