This goes for artists too. How can you learn to do a step in your process if you don’t actually do it? No one I know who’s worth their salt would use genAI to just skip a part. They’d have to go over it to fix things anyway?

The Arctic just hit its lowest winter sea ice level in 48 years of recorded history for the second year in a row. On March 15, Arctic sea ice peaked at just 5.52 million square miles a statistical tie with last year’s record low. To put that in perspective, the missing ice compared to the

The Pentagon plans to keep National Guard troops deployed through 2029. That’s not a temporary surge. That’s a permanent fixture. Ask yourself why.

Trump housing official seeks new DOJ prosecution of Letitia James Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte made two criminal referrals that allege the New York attorney general committed insurance fraud.

This is just relentless. Months after DOJ struck out for the third time prosecuting Letitia James, a Trump official just filed two criminal referrals against the NY AG alleging she falsified occupancy info on insurance apps for Virginia homes. Taxpayer-funded revenge games, non-stop.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

All the world's a stage and I'm gonna burn this theatre down.

The Trump administration rolled back restrictions on toxic pollution from power plants, including limits on the release of mercury and lead.

I rarely suggest people should lose their jobs unless they’re executives, but holy fuck. Writing something that stupid, approving something that irresponsible, using images that fucking pathetic, it’s not something that should be professionally tolerated.

Using the same journalistic standards exhibited in the article, I can accuse Wired of helping a billionaire pedo ring. It just, like, y’know, *feels* like it might be true to me, so it’s worth publishing.

What the fuck are they on?

So in the wake of the Epstein revelations, @wired.com posts an article about how it’s actually gay men running the tech industry on private sex islands. Except unlike the Epstein files, the writer couldn’t provide real evidence.

Way to look like you’re running interference for a pedo ring.

“You guys are into child trafficking too?”

Police in St. Paul are investigating an immigration arrest last month that left a man with a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. Immigration agents have claimed his injuries were caused by him “running into a wall,” but it’s a false narrative agents beat him during the arrest.

I just ambushed myself with a ball bearing. I thought it was a bug or something as it slowly rolled across my desk.

Scared the Absolute Fuck out of me jesus h christ.

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Women in the games industry already have to put up with a lot, but we shouldn’t have to do it alone. Men in the industry: if you see one of your fellow men doing behaving this way towards a woman at a professional conference, please speak up and tell them to CUT IT OUT.

propaganda works. I suspect it probably works better on people who think they're immune to it

U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe initially ordered the restoration on Monday without setting a deadline. She later clarified the order, directing the Trump administration to restore the 34 slavery-related panels at the President’s House in Philadelphia by 5 p.m. ET on Friday

Please please read this it's incredible.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Image of a megaphone being held up in the bottom right corner. The Political Revolution logo is to the left of it. Text reads: Bad bill Alert. Urgent Call to Action: Stop HB3581 in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma House Judiciary Committee will be holding a hearing at 2pm on Tuesday, February 10th, where HB3581 will be voted on. This bill seeks to add harsh felony penalties to Oklahoma’s existing riot law, which would be effective immediately if it passes.

What HB3581 does. The bill adds harsh new felony penalties to Oklahoma's existing riot law. Blocking traffic: raised from a misdemeanor to felony (up to two years). Wearing a mask: new felony (up to 2 years) "without lawful excuse" (undefined). Any property damage: new felony (2-10 years) for everyone present; critical, amendment 2 expanded this from government property to any structure, building, or office space. Possible bail denial: People charged may be held without bail while awaiting trial.

Defining "riot." Oklahoma’s riot definition (since 1910) is extremely broad: “Any use of force or violence by three or more persons acting together and without authority of law.” What that means in real life: Counter-protesters attack and three people defend themselves: “riot.” Police declare an assembly “unlawful” and people don’t leave fast enough: “riot." One unknown person breaks something: everyone nearby could be at risk. Even permitted protests can be labeled a “riot” if: Any altercation occurs (including defensive actions), police declare the assembly “unlawful,” counter-protesters escalate violence, or provocateurs infiltrate

HB3581 Impact. Under HB3581, peaceful protesters could face: 2-10 years in prison for being present when any property gets damaged (even if they didn't do it). Felony charges for blocking traffic or wearing masks. Months in jail without bail while awaiting trial (job loss, housing loss, custody issues). Permanent felony records.

URGENT CALL TO ACTION

The Oklahoma House Judiciary Committee will be voting on HB3581 tomorrow, February 10th, at 2PM. The bill seeks to add harsh FELONY penalties to the existing riot law.

Call and email these the committee representatives and tell them "Vote NO on HB3581."

if i know discord for anything is that they can and will pussy out if people bully them enough for something. get fucking loud about this
