This is these guys in a nutshell. It's a shot-for-shot remake of the original trailer... except it's not even a good copy. It's not just that there is not a single original idea in there, they aren't even aware that they have taken out all the substance. (A li'l thread.)

There are many who have sought to frame this week of far-right riots as outpourings of legitimate anger. They are not. This is racist violence spurred on by far-right hatred. Those directly involved in these horrifying scenes need to face the full force of the law. 3/7

Not sure playing Radiohead’s Creep over a video montage of Andy Murray’s career is the greatest compliment. #Wimbledon

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
A CNN crew witnessed at least two professors detained by Atlanta police, including @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin and Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department. #FreePalestine cnn.com/business/live-news/c…

My bf spent more than half a year of working DAILY on this video + i also was helping him with cleanup. All just to fucking A*I video to win lmao Literally no words to describe how mad and upset I am🙂
Absolutely insane how Pink Floyd chose an AI generated video as the winner of their $100k animation competition over a hand crafted masterpiece such as this one by @TheInsaneum Fuck AI
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The AI video cited won the competition for the song "Any Colour You Like", while the one posted by OP was participating for the song "Eclipse". This video lost to another human made MV created using claymation and is now on the official Pink Floyd YouTube channel seen below. youtu.be/aY2pT-6NeEc?si…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video didn't lose to AI, but rather a claymation video made by Monica Fibbi, as they both were competing for the song "Eclipse". The AI video "made" by Damián Gaume won the competition for "Any Colour You Like". Both are now available in Pink Floyd's YouTube channel: youtu.be/aY2pT-6NeEc?si… youtu.be/vWSWv5ENPrY?si…

The replies to this 🤣
It is with a heavy heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar. Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I was still proudly wore this ape. By extension, it is part of me. I travelled around the world with this ape in my pocket. We went to the most luxurious hotels, the craziest night clubs and the most serene beaches. We had it all. Unfortunately, what blur is doing to apes is frankly unacceptable. Since the creation of Blur, the ape floor price has tumbled from 85e down to 12e. Two weeks ago myself and around 15 other high ranking ape members gathered at the recent International Ape Workshop in Miami, and on behalf of the community we wrote and delivered a notarised letter begging Pacman to stop this nonsense at once. We outlined three key terms the apes were demanding of Pacman: 1.) Effective immediately, blur should be shut down and all NFT collections affected should be refunded a part of their floor price at the time blur was created 2.) A written apology to @yugalabs and the community 3.) Sell all remilia assets held by ANY members of the blur team and publicly denounce @CharlotteFang77 As of today, March 28, 2024, Pacman has refused to acknowledge our letter. I have no choice but to sell my ape and retrieve some form of financial value before it trends to zero. Thankyou to everyone in the ape family who has been sending me messages over these last few days. I love you all. I hope one day we meet on the other side, until then, goodbye.

What if you see Zangief? 🤔
Apparently, if you can see a panda, you're left-brained, and if you can see two turtles swimming, you're right-brained. What do you see?
