Those who don't respond favourably must pin a yellow patch on their chest.

EDIT: Turns out Trump is fond of the pink triangle patch Nazis used to pin on gays. It is so hard to write satire nowadays.

5. Does your organization encourage free speech and encourage open debate and free sharing of information? [yes/no]

1. If yes, please explain

Yeah, right: "please explain so that we can curtail your free speech if it clashes with ours"

But then lose the funding. Which might be seen as fair except that the funding was arranged before Trump so withdrawing it is tantamount to vandalism.

Besides, most of the funding is probably for apolitical projects. Apolitical projects cannot respond "not relevant" because only yes/no is offered. So indeed they are asking everyone to to affirm fascist Trumpism.

It is hard on a phone to read the embedded questionnaire so here is the actual PDF which might give you more screen real-estate to work with.

Did any of them have stickers like "I bought this before Elon became a Nazi?"

My friend bought such a sticker for her car in Australia.

End with closing bracket, not opening bracket.

They just climbed today. Maybe Musk (via proxies) is buying while cheap because he has insider info that a subsidy is about to be handed to Tesla.

I suspect that is the point of the yoyo tariffs: insider trading.

The on again, off again tariffs are a great way for Trump to exploit insider trading for his own benefit. I have not seen a single journalist cotton on and most of the Left are circle-jerking about him being stupid. He is evil.

Yes, Tesla stocks are merely back to pre-election levels. Looks like they will keep dropping though.

It is merely back to pre-election levels. However it does look like it will keep declining.

Except for:.

Would be better expressed as

Except for: …

So there should be three genders. Or is he a different species altogether?

Are you presuming Clive's gender?

Whiffing Donald J's brain farts.

In this case, totally worth it because it is exposure without giving away the product itself for free (just like all advertising).

That is not what happens to artists and musicians when they get paid with exposure.

I did say "perhaps".

The way art/music is made prrhaps becomes more important than the art/music.

There is much more uncharted territory there than in the final product now that most taboos are removed and even unskilled people have been able to realise visions from their bedroom.

Campbell's got advertising and credit.

An artist and a muse. Same as it ever was.

AI could not have predicted that Andy's work would be popular. AI would not have come up with it.

As a digital artist, you can produce time-lapse videos while AI cannot.

Perhaps process will become more important than product. In fact process is indeed where the progress is IMO (even in music).

Depriving live electronic musicians and DJ's who are actually talented.

The reality is that the audience doesn't care. If they knew how to detect the difference, they might but the music is only a small part of the overall clubbing experience anyhow despite being loud.
