“At today’s SAG-AFTRA strike announcement, the AI proposal put forth by the the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers was aired out for the first time, and it was said to include taking scans of background actors for use not only in a single project, but any project, in perpetuity.”

Also learned now that author Milan Kundera died today.

Our generation has been fortunate to consume art by living survivors of communistic and socialist regimes. From Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, Hungary, East Germany, and more.

On other continents, that darkness continues to manifest.

Choose art and freedom.
