The arrest warrant for Netanyahu was issued in November 2024! The ICC had enough evidence 18 months ago, and now pollies are speaking up?27 Jul 2026 00:31 +0000at://did:plc:mcoe7awulhp5uprl2bowazvf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrlngu7mak24https://bsky.app/profile/andrewcull.bsky.social/post/3mqlc5ihlqs22Me: *sits down to write* "Okay, 500 words today and I'm back on track..."

So, we can buy credits to buy images that cost you nothing to make, were stolen from creators (that's what AI image generation is), and then use those slop images under a limited license? WTF?
