virulently anti-Catholic lapsed Catholic here: It's of actual geopolitical significance that the Catholic Church is talking like this this time around with these pigs. It wasn't like that 90 years ago.

Even ai is against ai.

Even ai is against ai.
Seeing people who were opposed to using it at work a year ago incorporate ai into their daily routine. Being forced to use ai in the workplace is a gateway drug.
I do fully think you have a dog's brain if you use gAI by choice.
If youre forced to use it by your work that's one thing, but using it by choice? You are a slime.

the difference between fine art and illustration is nothing more than the economic class of the artist making it and that of their patrons.

It’s called the museum of narrative art… idk why you were expecting fine art only. Illustration is a narrative artform. Norman Rockwell was an illustrator. Leyendecker was an illustrator. I see their shit in art museums all the time. 🤷♀️

This is what headlines are for.
The attention grabbing phrases used to get us to click are interesting enough on their own. What journalists think will hook readers matters. The headline tells us what the writer thinks of their audience, and it is not often that we are intelligent.

Bluesky is the most learned group ever assembled of smart, funny people who will read a headline and then talk for two days about only the headline

I occupied Wall Street.
Message was clear, income inequality had gone too far. We are the 99%.
It's the media that called us incoherent and our message scrambled. We knew what we wanted. We wanted wealth redistribution. We wanted the end of profit over people policies. We wanted freedom not serfdom.

This Day in Labor History: September 17, 2011. A group of activists started protesting in Zucotti Park in Lower Manhattan. Soon gaining the nation’s attention and spawning similar groups across the country, Occupy Wall Street was the first grassroots protest against inequality in the New Gilded Age!

The rich old people cannot see that the tide has turned. They are confused about what to make their celebrity puppets say. Which path loses the oligarchy the least amount of money?
so macklemore saying “free palestine” is violence, but ed sheeran saying the situation in gaza is “catastrophic and unjustifiable” is totally fine? this whole thing is so fucking stupid.

I do not give a shit about sports. I know a lot of people do. Good on them. But how is sports team balancing part of politics at all? Not a single person alive should be putting sports over human rights. It is heinous that the fairness of water polo matters more to some voters than gender equality.
a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12.
Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Years ago, I attended my first Pagan Pride and watched, with wonder and joy, as a troop of women belly danced. They were of many ages and body types. They moved with grace and strength. I wanted to be like them. Today I danced with this same troop, Adi Shakti, at Pagan Pride.

I’m pretty sure I had 12 pieces.
A graphic arts teacher at Art Center told me that no art director wants to go through more than 12 images, so I took his advice to heart.

I have been telling myself ai is involved. I am telling myself images like the converse ad and Target Halloween costume must have been designed by ai and approved by a human with no knowledge of American history or visual language.
I respect designers & am in denial a human artist made these.

re the KKKonverse ad, shit like that is never an accident and sharing the image is promotion even if your intent is to roast
I'm not an advertiser so I don't know the calculation, but clearly there is one the way these "mishaps" keep happening

For context, Rose O'neill is considered the first female American comic artist and has been recognized by the Eisner awards. She's also the creator of the Kewpie doll.
She's a culturally significant artist. But, nope, not "fine art."
The museum dedicated to her is struggling
