What happens when you forget/never knew that publicly funded art was once a thing.
it is still a thing lol, majority of the arts are still funded that way. it seems like a very US-online thing to not engage with state funding for artistic projects.
tbh you would never know arts in America are often state funded without being one yourself because it’s not enough for artists to live
for sure. basically everyone I know has a “”“”“real”“”“” job on the side to pay for rent, but they still use the state funds to pay for their projects.
yea from what my friends have told me about their grants, it pays way less than their minimum wage “real job” too…
It is a very US thing. Back in the 80’s Reagan started an attack on public arts budgets in the US that never stopped. As a result US public arts funding is a shdaow of what it was a few generations ago.
the person in the screenshot is a finn, judging by the name at least. We do have publicly funded art but they’re constantly lowering the budget because right wingers hate art unless it’s hitlerite in character
The cia stills funds lots of art I hear.
Is that where all the CHUD webcomics came from?
It is entirely possible. Which is frustrating because there is no level too stupid for it not to be possible

I mean, I wouldn’t mind being someone’s pet but I would greatly prefer knowing I wouldn’t be doomed if they got bored of me or decided to shoot at me for fun

This is doubtlessly the worst possible way to air that kink.
This is basically my partner’s job with less steps.
Boss: “Did you SEO the kanban scrum synergy for today’s stand-up agile AI?”
Them: “Check it out, I made a pivot table.”
Every Manager in the Org:
Pivot tables are black magic for the executive class
And i am the pivot wizard
Isn’t that kinda what current day celebrities are though? Do people think it’s a healthy arrangement?
The artisan class is not ok

Artist: I’d rather not
Techno feudal lord: this is why I ran it by DALLE first.

Being a patron of the arts and keeping artists as pets sound like exactly the kind of thing Elon Musk would get up to. They could probably produce something so horrible that it invalidates the entire deeply respected field of oil painting.
He would pay them in doge and horses
“Art-Slave! For the good of humanity I need you to draw me a meme portraying myself, Elon Musk, as the Chad, and my enemies as virgin cucks. Make it… extra epic… throw in a shiba inu perhaps…”
They are not going to allow to draw a helicopter. If you dont x/y/z you are going to be thrown onto the streets.
They do do that though
