I’m repeatedly struck by the fact that GenAI co’s have stolen zetabytes of copyrighted material, and the federal govt repeatedly defaces ©️ material through its vile memes — yet I had to waste three years, and potentially lose two yrs’ salary, bc a troll was mad I used a photo, w credit, in a class

I searched "architecture" in the linked report and among the "DEI" projects are restoring a Dutch colonial house, expanding the Metal Museum in Memphis, a SF walking tour, a book on Boston's Southwest Corridor ...

The Lume, the Controversial Immersive Digital Art Gallery at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Closed at the End of February The Lume, the immersive digital art gallery at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, closed at the end of February after five years.

The Indianapolis Museum of Art changed its name to Newfields and turned a whole floor of its building into an immersive room for digital video. A predictable fiasco and an example of a museum forgetting its mission to embarrassing effect. It's finally over

Have you read Stages? thickpress.com/product/stag... I received it by accident a fews years ago and really enjoyed it.

This guy gets it.

This is why I’ll never accept AI art. A whole industry just to recreate & reorder reality. Yet the beauty of human emotions don’t need enhancement. We’re doing it every day. Look at Alysa Liu's face. The JOY. Fuck off, AI.

"Please keep priority seating available for riders with disabilities. Remember: not all disabilities are visible" is the announcement I just heard on the Light Rail in Seattle. I have never heard that second sentence before, hooray for progress, wherever we can find it.

Leave it like this! Fall of empire! Wabi sabi! Don't fix a damn thing.

This is horrible. When we lived at the Belvedere we would wonder over 3 times a week.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.

It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district.

I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them.

ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

This is Minneapolis elementary school pick up:

The alert also recommends: "Bring your whistle & wear your hat. If you have a respirator or goggles bring them in a small backpack. We don't want to show up looking alarming for the kids but chemical weapons are being used widely in the area."

In between my day job, prepping an adjunct class, family life, and the daily horrors of the current WH administration I started printing my first narrative based kids book: The Good Burp. #Risograph #zine #burp

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night.

That's awesome! I hope Baltimore is treating you well.

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️

I'm working on my first narrative based kids book. Yes, those are burps you are seeing. There will be a lot of them. #kidsbook
