A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"
I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.
Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:

My rapist was a man who destroyed me & got away with, as most rapists do.
Great news from the wonderful Pat Cadigan:
“In case you couldn’t hear me partying here in London, I beat terminal cancer. I kicked its ass down the stairs, took its lunch money, and threw rocks at it as it ran away crying. I don’t have cancer any more.”
i have read police reports where the investigator proudly explained how he used standard interrogation techniques on the survivor filing the report, got her to contradict herself, and then concluded that she was making it all up! the system does not work the way you want it to
I saw enough of Pluribus to know I can just skip Breaking Bad entirely.
I cannot stress this enough if you have a friend or family member who sews. Very few sewists hem pants because they “enjoy sewing.” If they are hemming your pants it’s because they love you. Please remember it’s a chore that no money can offset the time spent on it. Appreciate them accordingly.
Mind-blowing thread about s-tier enshittification by Moonbrew and Allan Shen
remember when I said that it is important to keep track of the _particular_ kind of full of shit anthropic is vs. openai or the faangs?
This won't kill this technology, it just makes pharma a sector dominated by European, Chinese and Indian corporations
Friend of mine got publicly harassed on a panel by a comics writer everyone knew was a creeper—to the extent that older female editors would carefully make sure no young women sat next to him in meetings.
When she wrote about her experience, even without naming the guy, she got death threats
Political operative, Michael Trujillo, who works in California recounts the times he began hearing from women who had been abused or harassed by Eric Swalwell. He heard for more than 20.
More than 20 women. And leadership knew.
If you know someone who caregives full time, either for work, but definitely for cheap/free, one of the things they can use is bright spots in the days. I call mine oases, like spots to recharge in in the desert.
The race is long. People need breaks. Try to supply them to loved ones.
Assume if they are working on modern Harry Potter they are only not hateful when it affects their bottom line.
If you work on that project you are helping fund attacks on my community and that didnt stop you from continuing. Every single one is to be considered a bigot, no exceptions. All trash.
Also HAPPY FRIDAY I would really like for people to pre-order my magical spy weird city novel!
It's not coming out in the UK because the one (1) offer we got for UK rights was like "Ugh ugh bleh THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST barely sold, why would we WANT UK rights"
But! If pre-orders?? Maybe LOVE???
A group of Muslim women who feed Dublin's homeless week in, week out, attacked by fuel protestors. I think we see who they are now.
Rep. Feenstra is getting pushback from fellow conservatives for saying voucher schools should accept everyone.
They call it “overregulation.”
It would directly contradict their whole point for vouchers if private schools couldn’t turn some kids away.

It is important for you to understand, ludicrous as it may seem: RFK's goal is for disease to roar through America and kill as many people as it can.
He believes that anyone who would be killed or disabled by disease is "unfit". He sees the covid vaccines as a missed opportunity for purging them.
one suspects that they were actually worried that little boys *would* see themselves in a girl power movie.
Maya Glover, daughter of NASA astronaut and Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, celebrates father's accomplishment to Korn's "Freak on a Leash" (2026)
Unfortunately, my friend @maggiemayhem.bsky.social has resigned from DDoSecrets because of a years-long campaign of threats and harassment. Attempts to talk to him about his issues have been met with further abuse and accusations.

THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED
EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH
I cannot stress this enough: Vegas gave Musk millions to build us a supposed public transportation system. Instead he built basically an Uber tunnel for Teslas that only goes FROM ONE END OF A CONVENTION CENTER TO THE OTHER. Literally just gets you to the other side of a building.
The Everything Box
The Wrong Dead Guy
Both ebooks in my Coop Heist series are on sale in all of your favorite formats. The Everything Box is $1.99 and The Wrong Dead Guy $2.99.
So the Catholic Church has um issues.
But still: the American Pope is a global leader with a huge audience who is responding to Trump in public, without fear, and calling out the violence. There’s nothing they can do about it either. Neither bribes or threats will avail them. It’s lovely to see
Pete Hegseth believes that Jesus guides Tomahawk missiles, even when they hit elementary schools.
I wrote about the roots of his militant faith - from the Crusades to the confederacy - and what they mean for the US and Iran today.
Why did I have to find out about @blockedforthispost.bsky.social from Tumblr?
Here’s bluesky’s internal post mortem on why shit went sideways Monday.
PARDON MOI??????????
