Sure, 83% of art and media.

These guys are huffing AI farts and hallucinating their own Orwellian dreams.

"My approach to photography is to pre-visualize the final print before the exposure is made"

Ansel wrote The Camera, The Exposure and The Print - as well as perfected the entire Zone System. Before digital photography there was an analog ai altering photos to match our vision when we used film.

There's a line in sand somewhere, where many folks will say, that it's un-natural to use computer tools to alter the pixels captured on a silicon image sensor with a machine in your hand, crafted of metal, plastic & carbon fiber, so that they might more closely resemble the image you pre-visualized.

* it’s ok to diss on them in particular. Especially the failson that has assumed his superiority complex without any actual accomplishments not funded by his family.

You’re the de facto leader of not knowing what the fuck you’re talking about.

Frantically adding all of these to my RSS feeds on @netnewswire.com

A master class in how to sound like fierce opposition without being fierce or opposition.

You phrase it as if there's something to educate.

This is a vanity war. He wants it for him.

That is not something you can "educate the public on".

It was really fucking obvious in hindsight. Now the Schumers and Jeffries get every benefit of the doubt with the rest of their Boomer platform while pretending they still don’t hear what is being said.

The party in control is fascist.
Abolish ICE.
Disgorgement of all benefit.
Nuremberg trials.

This is the sound of every Gen Z voter saying β€œno shit” to every well intentioned Gen X, Millennial and Baby Boomer voter:

β€œNo Shit Boomer”

This is not the world
We were taught to build and grow
Yet the river flows

A Blue Wave needs warriors. Start with a clear message and never let up until it's delivered.

Give our money back.

As a photographer I watch social media content from creators that travel from all over the world to spend a few days here. In our back yard. It’s a good reminder to take more days trips and spend less time dreaming of far off places. πŸ“·

Now @npr.org promotes gambling. Glorifies a predatory addiction market enriching the perpetrators.

More shame to heap on the demise of @npr.org

It's fuckin weird to choose a picture of him with a flag behind him and while wearing the capital hill fascist uniform.

They use AI to depict us as monkeys. We strive to show them in patriotic light.

Where's the go-f yourself gofundme? Or the "You're gonna gonna get in trouble for that" crowdfund?

I got money to give to give to heros.

A tranquil forest path is illuminated by the sunlight filtering through tall trees, casting long shadows on the ground.

There are a few spots,
Daily on my lunch walk trail,
I can’t help but stop.

Love the work that Elon has taken credit for. Heartbroken that they are tied to him.
