Hayao Miyazaki, Who Said AI Is ‘Insult to Life Itself,” Reduced to AI-Generated Meme by OpenAI The internet is flooded with AI-generated images in the style of Studio Ghibli, whose founder said “I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all.”

Hayao Miyazaki, who said AI is an "insult to life itself," would probably hate all the AI-generated art ripping his studio's style that people in the AI industry are now obsessed with www.404media.co/hayao-miyaza...

YouTube video by Cheap Trick - Topic Heaven's Falling

A great power pop song from the Todd Rundgren produced Cheap Trick album 'Next Position Please'. It was written by Todd and definitely has a Utopia vibe. Robin Zander's vocal phrasing is also very Todd-like. Great album, legendary band!

This is a very inspiring video for those of us who create and record music at home in project studios. St. Vincent (Annie Clark) is passionate about the whole process and so willing to show how she goes at it. #MusicSky #GuitarSky #MusicianSky #Music #Guitar #HomeRecording #Songwriting #Creativity

I have an idea: Instead of just being outraged by DOGE (and yes, it IS outrageous), maybe we can learn from them. “WHAT DID YOU DO LAST WEEK?” is being demanded of Federal workers. Why don’t we demand the same of elected Dems re: fighting back? Here’s someone who’d pass www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Trump fires US labor board member, hobbling agency amid legal battles President Donald Trump has removed a Democratic member of the U.S. National Labor Relations Board from office, an unprecedented move that will escalate an ongoing legal battle over the scope of the president's powers to control federal agencies.

Trump fired the NLRB's pro-worker general counsel and its acting chair.

He's effectively gutted the agency tasked with defending the rights of workers to organize.

Guess who has recently filed lawsuits aimed at invalidating the agency altogether?

Amazon and SpaceX.

Halting spending approved by Congress.

Firing independent inspectors general from federal agencies.

Replacing civil servants with loyalists.

All plans pulled from Project 2025.

Remember when Trump denied knowing about the playbook and the media gave him a pass?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

C'mon, we all suspected Santa loves his Jack Daniels - especially before a long hard night's work.

So dumb - anyone with half a brain knows that it would have to be "floppy inflatable scarecrows" for the job, not "floppy inflatable men". 🤔

Irony would like a word.

And this too

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

A killer solo with stunning phrasing - a beginning, middle and end. Screw what Rolling Stone says - I would put Roth in the Top 20 of greatest rock guitar players, easily. Rhoads, Schenker and Malmsteen (amongst many others) copped more than a few licks & style from Uli.
