  • I’ve been to many protests, and oddly enough i enjoy the feeling of freedom. Normal traffic rules don’t apply and there are no cars, suddely you can walk in the middle of the street which is normally a forbidden space. You can dance, you can shoot fireworks in the middle of town, you can do loads of things that you normally can’t.

    Normally there’s a nebulous sense that this space doesn’t belong to us, it belongs to landlords and the state maybe? You don’t feel a sense of ownership. But when it’s being taken over by people in an unorganized way, now it feels like this space belongs to you.

    And yes i’m french lmao


  • I can understand why you wouldn’t want to draw this, it’s a very room temperature 20th century take; but that doesn’t make it okay to use genAI for it, that makes it worse. Now it’s also cheap tacky and supports garbage companies.

    Yes, the worst thing about this is that it’s a shit idea, it doesn’t refer to anything specific and there’s something annoying about the binary format itself; but it’s made way worse, not better, by also using technology developed for profit, through theft, by sillicon valley tech firms, at the cost of an enormous waste of resources, for no purpose other than shareholder value.




  • The nicest way that i can put it is that this has been true for most of human history until industrialization, let’s say that the 50’s is when industrial food starts to make poor people fat.

    The less nice way to put it is that this hasn’t been true for 70 years. You are completely clueless to health food and poverty in the 20th century, let alone the 21st. Nowadays, eating nothing but the cheapest food will in fact make you fat, this is one of the main concerns of nutritional science today.
