- Reposted by Sam the Silkieone of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

- Reposted by Sam the SilkieFolks, I believe we're going to have a problem with elections. American citizens are being arrested, so they're afraid to go to polling places. People of different color are being arrested, so they'll be afraid to vote. I've heard that ICE will be at some polling places. What's the answer here? 👠

- Reposted by Sam the SilkieThis is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

- From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

- Reposted by Sam the Silkie"Being anti AI is class privilege! Poor people can't afford to learn how to make art without it!" Yes. Famously, all artists are extremely wealthy.
- Reposted by Sam the Silkiethere are cold hearted, evil people in this world
- Reposted by Sam the SilkieI think many people who postulate about AI’s necessity as a "talent equalizer" (etc.) are more infatuated with the idea of being seen as an artist—with an imposed mythos that usually boils down to personal acclaim and a measure of success within capitalism—than they‘re interesting in making art.

- Reposted by Sam the SilkieYou’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

- Reposted by Sam the Silkie"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.
- Reposted by Sam the SilkieRegarding the Discourse, lemme just say that if you can't draw, yes you can. Everyone can draw, and folks will almost certainly respond more positively to your stick figures than some generic "A.i." slop. Also, there are LOADS of resources for free images. Like this! 🧵 www.nga.gov/artworks/fre...

He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

- Reposted by Sam the SilkieAt this point, I'm just blocking anyone who uses social justice language to substantiate their use of AI. It's a tool of fascism. Pick up a pencil and learn how to draw if you want art or just enjoy the art other people make. That's free.
- Reposted by Sam the SilkieSo people like me trying to make a living off their art while barely being able to afford rent are classist and elitist, but the billionaires stealing our work to try and sell it back to us as AI slop while destroying the planet are really creating social justice by “redistributing talent”? Right.

- aww man that really bad thread saying that gatekeeping AI use for making art is bad, written with a bunch of bad-take lefty points in it is gone Not enough time for me to really process how bad of a take that whole thread was, holy shit
- Reposted by Sam the SilkieIt is 100% true that you have to take time to be good at art, but using AI doesn't make you good at art, either, and so it's a non-answer. And art is one of the single most accessible things for poor people to get good at.
