If you view a video on mobile YouTube now allows you to β€œHype” it by clicking a little icon near the likes bar. This one is having a rough time out the gate so if you could give this a hype(or 3) I would appreciate it

Pete Buttigieg is going to pause after this like it’s a banger applause line at a debate and then look uncomfortable when no one bites on it. At the next debate he’s going to say we need to β€œreevaluate and reform ICE”

Even Democrats thought it was beyond the pale to suggest the death squad enthusiast was anything less than a national treasure. Giving him the Kissinger treatment but not in the way he deserved

Omar stated unequivocally that the guy who ran aid to the contras probably doesn’t care about human rights and democratic principles but the consensus Washington position was that he was above reproach on this matter and she hated him simply because he was Jewish

Remembering how when Abrams led the effort to install Guaido and Ilhan Omar was one of the only prominent voices bringing up his disastrous record in the region people said she was only criticizing his war crimes because she was antisemitic

Gallus and the Challenge of Empire
YouTube video by Tribunate Gallus and the Challenge of Empire

Gallus was acclaimed Emperor in the wake of Rome’s crushing defeat at Abritus. During his reign Rome’s omnicrisis reached an inflection point as it dealt with foreign incursions while the economy deteriorated and disease ran rampant.

IDK what it is about this painting in particular but I absolutely love it and since it’s part of an exhibit that will be leaving eventually I’ve gone to see it 3 times already and will probably be back within the month.

what makes art art is that it's the product of human intelligence. even artists who have done automated work, like tinguely, it's satire, it's the point of the work-- in fact with tinguely the art work is the machine, not the "art" it produces-- it's satire.

I have no artistic skill but could probably replicate this piece pretty well if I felt so inclined - but the art isn’t creating a facsimile but in having that inspiration and expressing a novel idea. AI can only take what already exists and twist it

AI β€œart” enthusiasts don’t understand that the thing which makes great art evocative isn’t the ability to recreate a photorealistic scene but the ability to be inspired by the mundane to create in a novel way. This is a skill that has to be honed just as much as the actual method of creating art

There are jobs in deep red counties for those who want them. In many rural areas the local fentanyl operation is expanding at a rate which far exceeds the modest gains we have seen in tech and finance over the past decade and starting salaries can be up to $600 a month without benefits

If we haven’t achieved this moral standard in 2025 then on what grounds do you condemn people for it now?
