Trump is putting his name on infrastructure projects paid for by President Biden’s 2021 infrastructure bill — a bill Trump fought against.

You can call it "mass theft," but that is your opinion. The way AI uses source references is no different than my human eyes taking in the art and my imagination and intellect using it for artistic inspiration; the difference is scale. All art is and has always been derivative. AI is a tool.

@Lorenradis, you're entitled to your opinion.

I don't have a problem with this. Yes, the role of AI in art and our daily lives is an ethical minefield. But the reality is that it is a now ubiquitous tool for inspiration, recreation, research, and work. I believe Jim is using it ethically and with transparency. And his paintings are stunning.

This is typical of the mainstream's prurient, titillating gaze on women having sex with women vs men with men. I'm *fairly* sure The Times wouldn't publish an article celebrating sexually frustrated/bored/married/divorced men wanking each other off as 'empowering' www.thetimes.com/magazines/th...

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”

(1/X) Sometimes people ask "why does this supposedly reasonable Republican back Trump or why does this centrist spend all of this time attacking the left at a time when the right is destroying the country?" The answer is simple: it's because they're assholes.

Before reading all the responses for context, I was so confused... first thinking 'what kind of "allotment"', then thinking you wanted to know because you were writing it into a new "plot" or something you didn't think you'd write for a few years yet. ❤

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Interesting read on Nature Memoir post-#saltpathgate. If anyone is seeking a book that casts a stern gaze over the Nature Cure Publishing Industrial Complex & introduces sex (usually oddly absent from the genre) then *cough* my Out Of The Woods is still out now! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Every time Trump commits a high crime or misdemeanor impeachable offense, and sees no accountability whatsoever, we go deeper down the Hitler Hellhole.

My Lyft driver in Milwaukee was an Obama-Trump-Biden-Trump voter. She hates Trump's misogyny, racism, affinity for Russia, and economic incompetence—all of which she saw coming. But there was no way she could vote for Kamala Harris after her uninspiring performance on The View.
