There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov (1980)

    Automated systems that tell lies, based on a core lie that #TechBros have told themselves and are forcing on humanity; that their wealth and power means they can do no wrong. We will all suffer for it. #ai #tech #crapitalism

    New #VideoGame trailer for Artificial Detective. Just the visuals alone really pump me up. No release date yet, but it’s coming out for #PS5 (nobody cares), Xbox X/S (even less than nobody cares), and #Steam! Hell yeah! Wishlisting it :) youtu.be/Rzq05eE10…

    If you are a fan of #anime, then you’re likely familiar with #CowboyBebop and, by extension, one of the single most iconic themes in history, #TANK by The Seatbelts. Well, this is my new favorite version of all time and they are touring the US starting in #NYC in April. #jazz youtu.be/d75ov4HvR…

    Gross. #Trump is a criminal. Just because he’s the “president” doesn’t mean he’s suddenly grown a pair of ethics. Dear Leader’s obsequious, apologist lapdogs hide everything behind a thin veil of stolen legitimacy as they siphon assets from the biggest mark in history; the US. #uspol #insidertrading www.axios.com/newslette…

No, it’s not law yet, but with the corruption running rampant in #USPol and #SCOTUS’s willingness to bend legal definitions beyond the breaking point, I don’t doubt this is on it’s way.

    This is a rather fascinating dive into the history of the ‘Itome’ or closed-eye #anime character that includes a brief sketch of the history of anime itself. In an aside, some peeps complain that it’s “AI slop”, but some people don’t want to face reveal, so there’s that. #animation youtu.be/2xrYxlimI…
