thatās a nice way to look at it and to work on it. i certainly like an idea of a style that evolves, and i like that it gives more agency to the artist rather than something more passive

in writing, youāre always told to find your voice. youāre not supposed to create it, youāre supposed to discover it. so what then are you supposed to do if you find your voice and you donāt like it?
return of the minnesota shrike. nice work
the irony of the majority of liberal politicians is that they seem to actually know that the one thing which wins votes every time is not patronising voters, and yet they just literally canāt stop doing it. even their genuine and overt attempts to do precisely that end up patronising. theyāre broken
oh hell yes, iām with you there. and they have the added discredit of being pretentious on top of not being actual polymaths
nobody who refers to themselves as a free thinker is one. plenty of free thinkers exist, but itās none of them
i donāt know what to make of this
so, invariably, the rebels would cause some havoc, would meet up with the king or an envoy of the king in order to āsaveā him, promises would be made (usually to get rid of the evil people), the rebels would disband and go home, and then soon afterwards, they would be rounded up and killed horribly
of course, those evil priests, barons, advisors, or friends were *usually* doing what they were doing either on the strict orders of the king, or else with the blessing, or, at least, the tolerance of the king. & even when they werenāt, the king knew who he ought to be aligned with - not peasants
throughout english history, whenever there was a peasant rebellion (and there were plenty), they were almost always done in the name of the king, as weird as that seems. and usually, even for the purpose of *saving* the king - from āevil priestsā, āevil baronsā, āevil advisorsā, āevil friendsā, etc
very much yes
so like, does newsom even have the power to do redistricting? because my understanding is he needs a ballot initiative first. we're all being told that we have to "support" whatever that means while all he's doing is shit posting.
yeah, it seems to me that until he details a specific plan for redistricting then itās just another part of his transparent positioning of himself as the lead dem nominee for president. heās all talk, as usual. except, of course, for his attack on californiaās homeless population, which is action
BREAKING: The far right have not called for all white men to be kicked out of the UK after a white British Labour councillor was convicted of raping a 15-year-old girl š¤·āāļø
they just think we did
i doubt they forgot
She has vowed to fund the world's only non-violent terror group x normalislandnews.substack.com/p/sally-roon...
well, theyāre new to me, i guess. and iāll do a good job following them, i mean have been all of last week lol, thinking they had just come in
oh, wow, did not know that, well in that case iāve been breaking them for quite a while. well, i guess iāve been pretty lucky? š¤·āāļø
yeah, itās nice to create things or do literally anything that feels wholesome
yeah but wishing isnāt real, itās never going to come true, the only catharsis comes from the expressing of the wish to the person you wish it of. but youāre right of course, thereās no winning it. the new rules are fucked but they are enforcing said fucked rules
So I work at an industrial worksite. There are massive air filters leading to the turbines. Like 20 feet tall. I routinely rescue the moths/butterflies/dragonflies that get caught in the suction. But sometimes theyāre too high (top left) and I canāt do anything. It kills me.
okay, well this is just awesome. I love this. itās really cool that you take it upon yourself to rescue them but holy shit how are they so big! iāve never seen anything close to the size of those moths in the wild near me
tell me about it
i mean iām not talking about political ideology, i mean just basic compassion. because i canāt tell if iām just being naive or if there is genuinely just less now
what the fuck happened to empathy? was it never there or is there less now? was it always like this or something i donāt fucking understand
probably not my mutuals, this is just for the world in general
some of you were seriously raised wrong
iām losing my mind
a fucking illegal war for nothing in which so many people just died!!! and heās like āyeah and?ā
and it was his country that did it
i donāt even know what to do anymore, I mean how do you even respond to an emptiness like this. i just donāt have a clue how to move forward in this world
and the thing is, in terms of offence and potential hurt caused to someone seeing so wilfully cruel a response to the subject of this speakerās own country murdering hundreds of thousands of people essentially for being Arab, this statement is fine. But I canāt wish any ill on him for it
so it turns out not only did we murder 600,000 but there is quite a staggering amount of people who literally couldnāt give a shit. hereās one eg (circled in red) with part of the thread on the left, to remind you what heās talking about. i cannot fathom being this heartless. wtf is wrong with us
oh so youāre a just a straight up black hole of worthlessness where a person should be, huh?
Pass me the lead poisoning hose or paint chips gen x I cant do this anymore
Donāt take any guff from these swine
I swear to the gods y'all Democrat Stans have lost it. Horny posting AI shit bigging up the most plastic ass motherfucker and shit-talking anyone who says "no" because their lives are on the line. I am ashamed FOR YOU š¤¬
The other 14% were used to start NATO. help the empire to nuke Japan and so much more.
this country is genuinely fucking irredeemable. iām going to bed
okay, so hereās an update on the sickness, if you can even manage to wrap your head around the obscenity of thisā¦there are actually people arguing with me now. there are people who read what i wrote and felt that what was required wasā¦a defence
this is a sickness, truly.
what equivalent to that complete lack of accountability is there? on that scale? on this century? and your fucking response to that is to say ānah, it wasnāt the worstā oh fuck off
but that is all you give a fuck about. there has been nothing, NOTHING of consequence for a crime of which the people who literally made it happen are just wondering around making decisions every day, INCLUDING current military actions. that is fucking heinous!
to even act as though americaās fitness or otherwise to make judgments regarding the justness of other causes is equivalent to the justness of the cause itself is chauvinism. a country can be right or wrong even when america has fuck all moral highground to be making those judgements
and on the question of ukraine, the justness of any cause in that conflict would be entirely independent of americaās actions, so whatever the fuck america has to say about ukraine is not impunity or otherwise on ukraineās cause, merely their own
i mentioned ukraine as ONE section, and i didnāt remotely say āfuck ukraineā, i didnāt say a damn thing about how anyone should militarily react to the conflict in ukraine, i bemoaned the MORALISING about ukraine from an establishment that literally just killed 600,000 people!
yup, business as usual
you donāt have to worry though, things donāt work like that, do they? itās far more likely that the u.s. will spend another century spreading death around the world than that a fraction of that would ever be returned
iām not saying fascism is fine, iām saying if there were a trade of cosmic justice, the united states has committed far more evil on the world with the backing of its citizens that it would take a thousand years of fascism to equate a return in kind
textbook
Standard US foreign policy: disrupt or annihilate existing governments to clear space for contractors and loans. Ask Pinochet about his Sept 11 (1973) junta and subsequent sponsorship of Operation Condor
the very fact that there has been no consequences for anyone at all, that a country was laid waste to without so much as an arrest elevates the crime beyond sheer numbers. it was a cartel murder by gangster states on an epic scale
you even bothering to make this point is offensive to me. thatās your takeaway? thatās where your head went to? you are a fucking ghoul
we are satans, our countries are so abominably evil we donāt even bother to talk about one of the worst crimes ever perpetrated by humans even though it only ended 11 years ago. you fear fascism? fuck, we deserve so much worse than that
nobody gives a fuck. we are nations of pure fucking evil. donāt fucking talk to me about ukraine like we have any kind of moral superiority over anyone. we murdered 600,000 human beings for nothing literally within the last decade and did literally nothing to find accountability and then we shrugged
nothing was done, nobody faced a single fucking consequence. the politicians that pushed for war are still politicians, the media figures that pushed for war still work in the media, and nobody even thinks about what happened anymore. iraq was utterly decimated as a functional state
a coalition of countries led by the united states and britain invaded iraq in 2003 leading to a war which killed well over 600,000 iraqis. the stated purposes of that war were found to be a total fabrication and literally nobody was ever held accountable for one of the worst crimes in human history
always
my 7,000th follower gets a t-shirt with my bare torso printed on it. itās notā¦you wonāt want it, but i want it out of my house
thank you, and yes itās a hideous state of affairs. we canāt keep going like this
if you told me this was a picture from the tesla diner, iād shrug and āyeah, looks about rightā
i have heard that actually
she really is a heartless bitch isnāt she
Reminder to all my cis dumplings: call this shit out and stand against it whenever you run into it. Be a voice for us, we are being silenced
thatās whatās up
oh yeah, heās got it all
shittest fellowship of the ring
thereās never been a room starmer hasnāt made feel more empty by his presence
yeah, heād be better going alone
you are *not* the resistance in any way. I promise you that. You're larping online and taking your anger out on my friend who is trans. Stop talking.
couldnāt agree more
The trans community has stood up for Palestinians & objected to genocide harder than any other community...even when people told them they'll "lose rights if they'll make genocide their red line". I'll never vote for anybody who sacrifices trans rights & that's the sentiment among all my US friends.
absolutely
donāt be a racist cunt
Bravery is saying haha orange man bad Purity politics is supporting every child's right to play sports in their public school with their friends
Shitlibs really spent all day being like "Stop with your purity tests. They're getting in the way of our purity tests against you". You mfers ain't slick, you're as transparent as the Invisible Man getting ghosted by Space Ghost from behind the clearest most recently polished window.
godamn right
yeah, the nastiness is striking at first, but once it becomes recognisably caricature itās just insufferable
i think the american school system trains people to think badly, while AI trains them to dribble
come collect your friend please
If AI is the aesthetic of fascism, what is the aesthetic of socialism? I nominate collage. It purposely avoids the smooth edges of AI to create something that is both personal and universal.
youāve got a friend in me
it really is so much nicer to work for the betterment of one another
i can hear this image and i wish i couldnāt. cast him into oblivion
it also requires you to have wilfully ignored what others will no doubt have tried to inform you of at some point in your life, so the truth is you donāt *want* to have the right answer, you just want the answers that comfort you
itās like having the reverse understanding of addition and subtraction and expecting to ever get a correct answer in a single arithmetic equation
if you live in britain or the united states and you see your country as a force for good in the world, youāre already fundamentally wrong about the most basic aspects of global history, politics, and economics. it is quite simply impossible for you to be correct about anything else you think or say
liberals turn into some real nasty mfs when you challenge the tenets of their cult. like real fucking nasty. faces like bilbo baggins when he turns vicious on frodo
itās not simply that the wealth doesnāt trickle down to the bottom, it flows endlessly upwards, slipping right through the hands of those who laboured for it as it surges towards the parasite class
mostly the poorest, of course
Aw bummer now no one can see the genAI slop shit Time Magazine cover you posted of Gavin Newsom as king with text reading Long Live the King such a pity
hahahahHAHAHAHAH!! šš¤£šš¤“š
look upon his works and despair
Libs, like a month ago: NO KINGS Libs, now: BOW NOW BEFORE GOD MASTER GAVIN AND WEEP YE MORTALS FOR OUR LONG PROPHESIED KING HAS ARISEN
haha figures
