People simply *don't care* that they are in a military alliance with and dependant on a fascist state when capitalism requires it.

Then the tariffs will rise our steel industry will collapse(even more essential for defence),car ìndustry collapse 1000's jobs lost,no £££ for public services

This technology was built off theft. It's soulless & bland. Here's caricatures by @tealcartoons.bsky.social to remind people what human art looks like.
- Reposted by Heidi Malagisi💙📚📜📖A friend who runs a blog had the nerve to tell me that he uses ChatGPT art because he respects artists so much and can't afford to pay them what they deserve. I told him to pretend it's 2010. There was a time recently when we didn't have this technology. Do the work yourself or don't do it at all!

It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

- Reposted by Heidi Malagisi💙📚📜📖Historical "programming" is underfunded because of systemic attacks on the humanities and arts. But also the attitude expressed right here, that tech/STEM can do it better. Additionally, gAI is devastating higher ed/the humanities, including history, so no, its not the answer to historical films.

- Bridgerton is my new Downton Abbey. I love all the characters and the stories. I am more of a casual fan since I have not read the books, but I think that's why I enjoy it because I am not nit picking it like other historical dramas I watch. It's just fun.
