I wish they would stop thinking about it as their vision or something for us. Just write stories that respect the fucking setting and preeatablished history.

Excellent, that means everyone can leave Twitter now since your art is not going to be getting "exposure"

noticing a big uptick in a lot of pro-AI people trying to crawl in lately that try to give vaguely worded "if you don't like AI you're actually a privileged bigot not thinking about how it benefits 3rd world countries" arguments don't fall for it.

Evergreen, btw

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Could it be, the domino effect? Im planting a totem of hope Perhaps we're finally seeing a chain of right wing fascist downfalls

What a dark backstory for forklift simulator

Yeah this needs to be my official title at work lol

My kiddo: I wish I was a little bit taller... Me: Do you wish you were a baller? Do you wish you had a girl who looked good, you would call her? *Kiddo looks at me as if they are silently wishing they had a different mom.*

Addendum: Multiple people have pointed out, correctly, that Lula ran with a non-fascist right-wing politician as his VP, and therefore compromised politically in a lot of ways to try to win. Where I was coming from was that Lula was uncompromising with *fascism*, but the full context is important.

He's the first presidential candidate ever to come from behind in the first round to win the second round, so there's a lot, lot more to his victory than I'm qualified to speak to. But it seems pretty clear that if he'd simply run on preserving the status quo then he'd have lost, and heavily.

There are definitely people who can explain the Brazilian election with a lot more authority and knowledge than me, but that was it in a nutshell. He didn't show mercy to the fascists when in power, he didn't compromise them, and he promised the hope of something better.

And the lesson is that, despite his flaws, he had a committed focus on improving the lives of ordinary working people in tangible ways, he was uncompromising in opposition to fascists, and when he lost the first round he used it to motivate his supporters to throw everything at the second round.

And again, it's worth noting that this happened despite Lula being an incredibly flawed candidate. His son and some of his key political allies are embroiled in genuine corruption scandals. He's 80 years old. Crime is incredibly high. But he's won despite those flaws. There's a lesson in that.

The Bolsonarists didn't change their minds, they didn't suddenly stop believing that their man could do no wrong and that Lula was an existential threat to Brazil. They were simply outvoted by those who refused to risk a return to fascism, and decided not to sit this election out.

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while
