But, much like we've seen with anyone else who's fallen down the "AI Art" slophole, He doesn't want to make art, but to *have made* art. To wave his hand and have all the prestige that comes with making a thing, JUST LIKE he thought the Blue Check *gave* legitimacy, instead of recognizing it.

something that's nuts about this is that Elon *has* the money to actually make this movie. it doesn't also have to be a tech demo. if he cared he could double Nolan's budget and set whatever accuracy criteria he wanted

FANTASY VERSIONS OF ROMAN ARMOR, WITH HORSES WEARING MODERN TACK, AND GODDAMN STIRRUPS, SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS EARLY. THIS IS LESS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE THAN HAVING JULIUS CEASAR USE ABRAMS TANKS.

Gothamist has now picked up the story, noting activists put up flyers outside the home of killer cop Conrado Abreu-Gerez. They confirmed to Gothamist that they were arrested by NYPD’s warrant squad, which loves busting down doors in early morning raids to terrorize. gothamist.com/news/a-kille...

Two activists with New York Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression (@nyaarpr) were arrested at their homes in the early hours on Oct. 20. Activists were unclear of what happened. I did some digging, and this looks to be a case of NYPD abuse of authority and political intimidation. 🧵

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

The "protection" narrative promoted by Trump and far-right groups like Heritage is a dangerous fallacy. Trump's DOE has abandoned sexual assault investigations under Title IX. It has set rules that effectively put the survivors of rape on trial and that favor the men accused of victimizing them.

Assigned Media@assignedmedia.org

The Trump administration has worked to portray itself as protecting women and girls through their anti-trans policies. Meanwhile, they've worked tirelessly to undermine protections against sexual assault. Wither Title IX, in this exceptional new reported story by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social.

Why did the president of the United Stated just tell an audience Nicki Minaj ass was fat and give an executive order for her to stand up and show the fat ass? Why did she do it? What alternative timeline are we living in?

Trans people are fighting to keep rights they had ten years ago—in 2016. It is not the same as fighting for rights in the first instance. So please I beg of you, knock it off with this “purity test” horseshit.

Mike@doa70.bsky.social

You know, the purity tests when trying to change society only make things worse. Im old enough to remember the fight for gay rights starting in the 80’s. We didnt change hearts and minds by demanding 100% adherence to everything. It came by increments. All you are doing is helping the magats.

This is one of my favorite comic pages I ever wrote, and Matt Groening loved it. Also, I asked Grant Morrison to check the language and they did!

Ok 1) it is not ok the president of the United States is this psychotic about anything and would devote even a fraction of his precious minutes to issuing a weird cultural fatwa against an hbo late night dipshit but 2) he is correct about Bill Maher being unbearably bad at comedy

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

One benefit of holding leaders accountable for crimes is that if Flávio Bolsonaro tries to overturn this election, he knows exactly where he’d end up. In prison, next to his father.

Seems this is a pattern. Oct 30, 2022: Lula wins the runoff election in Brazil Luka has 44 points and 5 assists in a win Oct. 25, 2026: Lula wins the runoff election in Brazil Luka has 52 points and 8 assists in a win

The president is demanding that Republican Senate candidates stand next to him at rallies where he talks about asses (mostly one man’s) and brags about making gas prices higher. If his candidates lose, it’s because the elections were rigged.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

Of course the Knicks would end up severely testing my "I'll never complain again if they win a title" promise. However, there really is a huge weight off my shoulders, even while the team is sucking ass. Do I have to worry that this team isn't good enough to ever win a title? No, I do not!

Ranryu reposted

He claims here that other states have a law saying "somebody with the same name can't run." That is false. In no state is that the law, and it would be unconstitutional. You can have rules about how the ballot is disambiguated, you can't say nobody else with a similar name is allowed to run at all.

Either I'm getting the math wrong, or it's weird to me that no one is talking about the historical impact of tonight's win. The wolves moved out of the all time NBA win/lost cellar. The wolves now have a ~.421479 winning percentage vs the Nets ~.421418 winning percentage. We're now #29!
