It still tickles me that the TERFS and Transphobes tried to claim Terry Pratchett as their own, and everyone who actually knew him, including his daughter, and co-author Neil Gaiman, was like WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, you couldn't be further from the truth.
@RickiTarr Reminds me of some right-wingers who were mad about Rage Against the Machine "becoming political" in 2020.
I mean they've been morons much longer than that about music in general and RATM in particular, but it was some flare up in social media.
@RickiTarr And I feel like Terry was pretty clear about it
@elverkonge One of my all time favorite moments on social media, when a member of the band responded to a post like that saying "what machine did you think we were raging against, the dishwasher?"
@willaful @RickiTarr I think Tom Morello said if you could find a non-political track, let him know and he'd delete it from their catalog. 
@willaful @elverkonge @RickiTarr I love it but it was definitely a printer
@monicarooney Oh thanks, it's been a while. :-) @elverkonge @RickiTarr
@willaful @elverkonge @RickiTarr no I mean, it’s a printer we all rage against. Just today it would not print my document! The tweet said dishwasher.
@willaful @elverkonge @RickiTarr the NME had an occasional comedy feature Zack de la Rocha raged against various machines. The one that comes to mind is a toaster. In my defence, I was 15. But it's only funny if you get the joke.
@willaful @elverkonge @RickiTarr I would have assumed a printer. 
@elverkonge @RickiTarr Right wingers playing Born in the USA. Have they listened to the lyrics?
Heard it, sure. Comprehended it? Maybe not so much.
@BenCotterill @elverkonge @RickiTarr
Comprehension is just not their strong suit.
@elverkonge there was an excellent moment when a bunch of right-wingers had an absolute meltdown over a prominent rainbow on the 50th Anniversary Edition of... Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon 
@elverkonge @RickiTarr RATm are political? Really? ;-p
@pluralistic re: AI "art" and uncanniness, are you saying that as AI "slop" is seemingly *uncopyrightable* people could and should use it wholesale for their own purposes? I'm kind of assuming that the companies that it was generated on behalf of would not take too kindly to that, and would at least *try* to sue for copyright infringement. The law being the law, can we assume the outcome would come down on the side of the alleged "infringer" or the would-be "rightsholder"?
