Capitalism was always going to decimate the sanctity of art and community. Wild that we're seeing it in our time, but we're here now.

the thing about using ChatGPT as a search engine is that we literally solved the problem of reliable search engines a decade ago, proceeded to destroy that in search of ad revenue, then reinvented it again, but somehow weirdly reliant on reddit shitposts

In the most heavily policed city in the world, a dude rode up on a bike and killed one of the most influential executives in the American economy and rode away on same bike (allegedly).

As the anti-war movement faces violent raids, suppression of speech, and political repression - we must remember that this was broadly NOT the response when Alt-Right groups flooded university campuses with anti-Semitic and white supremacist literature and events.

How Stone Mountain weaponized art against Black people, in a compelling new documentary The Atlanta History Center's "Monument: The Untold Story of Stone Mountain" peels back the troubled history of the largest monument to the Confederacy.

When you view Mount Rushmore against the background of the sacred Black Hills site which it desecrated, you realize how hideous and pathetic it is. Truly a vulgar monstrosity.
