F-ing depraved. The IDF edited a photo of the journalist they assassinated and made it look like he was wearing a Hezbollah uniform. They explicitly state that it is legal in Israel to murder journalists. The entire Israeli state is a criminal enterprise.

“Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.
Audre Lorde wrote in her journal, “My feelings are real but not always right.” Again, knowing who to be mad at is part of the work.
1000 years of this is crazy work
So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:
I finished my watercolor painting for Chicory coffee last night! Nothing quite like a Cafe au lait to go with your beignets.
For decades I've spoken about how we prioritize men's stories and communicate that girls can read everything but boys should only read about male main characters. People always ask me, it's better now tho, isn't it?
My 15yo has been assigned 9 books in 7-9th grade. Only 1 female MC. (guess the book)
Chad Rye, "an AI assited fantasy author."
Some days the jokes just write themselves.
Reminder for people who might forget: Ryan is one of the journalists who used a white supremacist as a source for that Mamdani college application story, without revealing that the source was a white supremacist, which is fucking relevant to the privacy breach in the story!!
I have rewatched 2005 Pride and Prejudice three times this week while working, and damn, the costumer should have won all the awards just based on her selection of silhouette alone, let alone fabric choices and color and styling.
Darcy’s coats get progressively looser cuts.
It is anti art to have a machine automatically hide artistic nudity by default.
it is so funny what authors are proud of in their books. when i think back on BURY YOUR GAYS the thing i always love is that young mishas late 90s internet search history has 'zergling rush strategy' and 'rodneymullendarkslide.mov' and i just think... nailed it.
We live in hell.
It doesn’t matter how cool and useful the tech is in the abstract; it has been WILDLY irresponsible & disastrous to advertise and deploy a probabilistic “normalcy-and-bias-replicating engine” it as an all-purpose question-answerer, in domain after domain.
Pathetic.
Pay me $30k a year, and I could write, draw and complete a graphic novel a year. That on top of my patreon would be more than we need to live comfortably. And this fucker doesn't even have an IDEA? LOL
When the idea guys can't even idea, when they have a tool that does it for them. WEAK.

SPORTS Misgendering Incident Involving A Trans Olympian Triggers Heated Debate After NBC Deletes Footage Seema Sinha News Writer 20 5 ADVERTISEMENT hulu hulu Disneyt hulu The best stories, together X Share NBC has deleted the feed of the 2026 women's moguls freestyle skiing qualifiers, which took place on Tuesday, February 10, after commentators repeatedly misgendered an athlete during the live st Posts by Seema Sinha Swedish skier Elis Lundholm, who was born female but identifies as male, was referred to as "she" by one commentator, PREDATOR BADLANDS Now Streaming PARADISE Streaming February 23 while another used "they" instead of "he."
It was never about "trans athletes should just compete in their assigned sex at birth."
It was always about invalidation of the athlete's gender identity.
Screenshot from NYT review of the new Wuthering Heights movie. It reads: Ever since Elordi was announced in the role, the choice has stirred up controversy online, where authenticity in casting is highly prized. Some frustrated fans have argued that the casting whitewashes the role. But Bronte scholars say that much of what the author writes about the character's race remains up for interpretation, even if the consensus is that he was probably not intended to be white.
OF COURSE nyt is both-sidesing white Heathcliff. WTAF, folks.
Open for interpretation doesn’t mean “sure he might be totes white!” His exact race is ambiguous, but his being nonwhite and it being a symbol of perceived “wildness” is a central theme of the book.
Open it

The world is run by monsters. They monsters have ruled the world for 500 yrs. It’s time we destroy the monsters
Palestinians TOLD THE WORLD about this as it was happening.
The world did not believe them.
Or didn't care.
I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

Graphic novels are a bit like hydra in that every time you think you’re finished drawing one, about three more pages you need to draw magically sprout.
