AI chuds will lie that actually cars or the internet also had to be pushed this hard and: No they didn't. That isn't true.

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.

Call your reps NOW.

Because people are realizing that "convenience" means paying a shitload of money to basically rent a movie or song you never own and everyone is tired of it. I'm not even a physical media stan and I think it's pretty obvious and makes all the sense in the world

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Massachusetts House advances unconstitutional social media ban bill that will harm LGBTQ youth and human rights The Massachusetts House has advanced H. 5349, a draconian and laughably unconstitutional bill that would ban minors from social media, force social media platforms to enable parental surveillance of teenagers’ online activity, and subject everyone to privacy-invading online ID checks in order to access information or speak out online. Dozens of civil liberties, racial justice, […]

THREAD: The Massachusetts House just advanced a draconian and unconstitutional social media ban bill.

"This legislation would have kicked Greta Thuneberg off social media before she organized her first climate protest. How does that make kids safer?"

Dragon like figure yeongno

Dragon like figure yeongno

The Yeongno, is a Korean mythical creature known as a "celestial eater of the rich," this dragon-like monster seeks to consume 100 corrupt politicians, the wealthy, the powerful, etc in order to return to heaven. A cathartic symbol of social justice.

"absolutely no votes to confirm judges, cabinet members, or to advance or fund any policies for presidents that openly say they will end entire civilizations" is actually an extremely fucking moderate position

The Artemis II crew took this photo on day 4 of their journey to the Moon. In it, the Moon is oriented with the South Pole at the top and are beginning to see parts of the lunar far side. Orientale basin is on the right edge of the lunar disk in this image. Artemis II marks the first time that humans have seen the entire basin. The Artemis II crew will continue to observe Orientale from multiple angles as they approach the Moon and throughout the lunar flyby. Orientale is the textbook multi-ring impact basin used as a baseline to compare other impact craters on rocky worlds from Mercury to Pluto. Credit: NASA

The Artemis II crew is closing in on the Moon, getting an unearthly view: south at the top, lunar farside on the right.

This is the first time humans have had a complete view of the huge Orientale impact basin, visible at far right. 🧪🔭

One of my favorite things about when NASA folks make the news is everyone else learning what gigantic nerds they all are (complimentary).

The Politics of Comfort - Uncanny Magazine The Politics of Comfort by Jim C. Hines. Uncanny Magazine Issue Two. Nonfiction essay.

Since the "keep politics out of stories" argument is popping up again, I'm just gonna link to this article from 2015.

"What 'entertainment without politics' means is 'entertainment that regurgitates the norm and doesn’t challenge my assumptions in any way.'"

This, also you don’t “brainstorm”with a digital sycophant, you get validated for whatever choices you make good _and_ bad. One of the best things about brainstorming with writer buddies, is they will tell when you’re about to make a terrible decision, instead of encouraging your self-indulgence.
