good morning Americans

if you wish to engrave something upon your heart, first inscribe it with your hands and profess it with your voice.

#calligraphy #handwriting #fourthofjuly #july4th

(long text warning) Two sheets of cursive brush calligraphy in metallic ink reading:

What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, AT THIS VERY HOUR.

Seriously. This whole fiasco might be what kicks me out of tech. I'm so sick of this ridiculous golden calf, this fumed-up Oracle at Delphi.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday getting Audacity building, reproducing and diagnosing the bug, and wrapping my head around the complex logic in this part of the code so that I could implement a correct fix. To have copilot review my work, which I contributed back for free, is just so incredibly disrespectful to my time and effort.

I cannot stop thinking about how a century of speculative fiction about catastrophic rogue AI meltdown became a self-fulfilling prophecy by building an AI that functions by running a probabilistic lookup on a table of all fiction humans have ever written to determine what the average AI would do in the current situation

The year is 2032.

You have to buy shitcoins for every online retailer now.

Anything not approved by Mastercard or Visa's Moral Committee is only possible to view on the dark web. (domain purchases are blacklisted if the domain hosts something against the moral committee's wishes)

Food products and electronics now have to be "Visa Certified"

A rep from Visa or Mastercard has to inspect every product and ensure that it doesn't contain any dissenting opinions or other thought crimes. Only then can it be Visa or Mastercard Certified and you may purchase it with your money.

Fansly bans furry content because of payment processors.
The myth of consensual adulthood. It shows a man and a woman consenting by Visa not. It says "Isn't there some random payment processor you forgot to ask?"

Dee uploaded the final render of the art I commissioned months ago. An idea from three years ago finally manifested. It captures an inner world I'd rather inhabit. A love for the beauty in nature, a desire for exploration, and appreciation for the quiet in between. A moment of respite in trying times. I couldn't be happier with this piece :blobfoxfloofhappy:

A large, expansive digital illustration of a mostly open clearing in low hill terrain where my Kivük fursona has taken up a place to cook a quick stew. He sits on a tree stump, slightly turned away from the viewer, wearing a gold lined green cloak, pouring a bowl of food, with a cutting board next to him with remainder of wild mushroom slices left behind. Of the landscape, it is early autumn at the start of sunset, as the sun is dropping down behind tall, distant mountains while the sky remains mostly a calm, lightly cloudy sky. But here near Sudaksis are some scattered trees dotting the hills, in full yellow, green, and purple leaf attire. A worn footpath leads through the fields of grass and flowers, leading into the mountains but this spot lies away from it. It's a stunning scene, focusing more of the nature than the character, though he is still very detailed and taking up a third of the view.

🧵THREAD: Why Are AI-Generated Black Women Selling War?

There’s a new kind of military propaganda happening—and it has a face.
Not a general. Not a flag.
A Black woman.
Digitally generated. Dressed in fatigues. Smiling, jubilant as she praises a U.S. airstrike against Iran.

Let’s talk about why that’s not progress. 👇🏾
