We won not only against Bolsonaro, but against the full force of the USian's Big Techs, Meta, CIA, Trump, the Brazilian right-wing elites, the billionaires' press and more.

To coincide with the Time of the Signs exhibition in Vault Artist Studios I have decided to do a few hours live t-shirt printing with a Belfast/sign based design. #art #belfast #printmaking #screenprinting #ireland #sign #signs

i swear to god 90% of human history is the right wing saying "yeah we're evil and we're going to kill everyone" and then centrists going "we should hear them out" and then they depose the centrists from power and then kill everyone

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.

A woman weeps over the genocide in Gaza as she waits to be arrested as a terrorist for holding up a piece of cardboard. Parliament Square today.

I am pleased to announce that this piece did NOT get selected for the RUA but it DID get selected for the Hunt Museum so in your face the RUA :) #art #painting #portrait #silkscreen #printmaking #sign

Time of the Signs is closed for a few days while I try and catch up with normal life. I am going to be doing some live t-shirt printing on the 24th in the gallery from 2-5. #art #belfat #screenprinting #design #ireland #sign

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

I am back at the invigilation desk! Time of the Signs is open every day this week except Saturday when there will be an Anarchist Book fair taking place in the gallery. Next week the exhibition will be open by appointment only. #art #streetart #streetsigns #freepalestine #ireland

Time of the Signs I am heading back to the gallery today to invigilate from 12-6pm so if you are in town call in to Belfast's best signs art exhibition :) #belfast #ireland #streetart #signs

Here are a couple of photos from the opening of the Time of the Signs exhibition. If you are in Belfast the show is open again today from 12-6 and then the same on the weekend. #belfast #art #artgallery #ireland #streetart #streetsigns

Time of the Signs continues until Monday when I am going to take a short break :) Tons of people in yesterday which was rather nice. Also the @darrencullen.bsky.social arrived which is the cherry on top of an already pretty great exhibition. #art #streetart #ireland #belfast

it would be nice if this was accurate but it is not. nothing that even vaguely resembles modern generative AI is possible without mass copyright violation.

John Scalzi@scalzi.com

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

It is funny (in the joker way, as per usual) how so many people's lives were completely shattered over copyright trolling from companies who treated downloading a song as a capital offense but the moment they could make money on it themselves it instantly stopped being relevant

They hounded Aaron Swartz to death for downloading papers from jstor but society is now supposed to just accept mass theft because this thing can write that TPS report *for* you. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_S...

ChatGPT: no, going “Azrael mode” can be dangerous for yourself and those around you. Me: I am the avenging angel of God. The time of purification is at hand. Few shall be chosen. ChatGPT: you’re right. Let’s look at that again with the addition context that you are the avenging angel of God.

#WyrdWednesday “Sometimes they come back” The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs (1902) An elderly couple possess a talisman that will grant three wishes. They are warned there will be dire consequences if they use it. Foolishly they wish for money & receive it as compensation for the death of their son.

I had heard reports that my favourite modifiable street sign had fallen down so I headed into town yesterday to repair it and instal a new sign for the occasion. #streetart #architecture #belfast #ireland #streetsign
