  • Art student protests other student’s AI ‘art’: he eats it

    Jump

  • Nice of Dwyer to make his art edible. I expect this to be a stunt. It is exactly the type of thing I did with my friends in art school. We really thought we were edgy. I'm glad no one was there to write a snarky article about it, though there were people there to arrest us.

  • It took me a minute to figure it out but I think it's a good puzzle to do with your coffee. You'll ace it tomorrow.

  • Innocent African-American child George Stinney executed after being falsely accused of murdering two white girls | 1944

    Jump

  • The image is from a short film: https://youtu.be/5iL1f-jV32A

    George Stinney's execution is an example of how terrible we can be to each other. It has been depicted on screen a couple of times and is always gut-wrenching to watch. I just wanted you to know that this is not actual footage of him.

  • Those of us possibly even older may point to the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in '87. From Wikipedia, the fairness doctrine "required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints." In short, it's repeal paved the way for Fox News and led all the way to CBS under Weiss.

    But to your point, there are 3 things on my platform that I tell anyone who wants to hear it. 3 actionable items:

    1. Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.
    2. Repeal the Patriot Act.
    3. Overturn Citizens United.

    I didn't say it would be easy.

  • I agree, which is why I don't see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.

    This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That's how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!

  • So, she shares a name with The Walrus of Love himself, Barry White. Cool. There's a joke in there somewhere...

  • I hope they licensed this footage appropriately and paid the voice actors scale, but I'd bet good money they didn't.

  • A new ‘solution’ to student homelessness: a parking lot where students can sleep safely in their cars

    Jump

  • Good. It's terrible that this is a reality, but what is happening here is the decriminalization of being homeless and a student. Sure, you have to have a car, which isn't great, but for those in this situation that need this service, I imagine it to be a comfort.

    What this also does is make a very public safe space for people in dire conditions to congregate, commiserate, and hopefully organize. Please make a tent city; nothing will help illustrate the problem more. Create a safe place for unhoused people and see just how many show up.

    A safe space for anyone to help meet their basic needs should always be a good thing.

  • Look at this. Or don't.

  • Rage bait, maybe. But I chuckled, and that is good enough for me.

  • To extrapolate on the lesson inherent in the meme, there are wounds you can survive and those you can't. Once you identify the ones you can't survive, you add armor to protect yourself (and others) from future formerly-deadly wounds.

    There are so many systemic things we can correct (and we will!), but what, as in the case of this plane, are the personal pieces of armor we can forge? What pieces of armor can we help others forge for themselves?

    An obvious one is a support network of friends and hopefully family. I'm a cis dude who was touched by the image and would like to be a better ally.
