This is a garbage read because "When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020"? No such thing happened, you fell for an op. You quickly and readily believed conspiratorial nonsense because it was about people you already hated, and you still believe nonsense so you learned nothing from this.
A collage of a baltimore oriole bird looking to the side with a yellow star as its eye. The background is a mix of green, blue, and purple magazine scraps and shapes of stars are circles. The words “Doing it scared is just as brave” are written in magenta marker over the oriole in the center of the image. The name “mossyvida” is in small white text in the bottom right corner.
DOING IT SCARED IS JUST AS BRAVE ⭐️

We saw an uptick in ICE activity today.
ICE continues to be spotted around the metro area - dining, driving, and hiding in between events.
Current vehicles on the short list include Black Chevrolet Tahoes, White or Silver Jeep Wagoneers, and White Ford Transit vans with fake branding.
The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.
It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.
Vought is a mass murderer.
TikTok has been doing this since the very beginning, the new ownership just involves a change of venue that means they have to put it in the privacy policy now. The app has always been spyware with some short videos on top; it's why all their IPs are blocked at the DNS level on all my devices.
Satellite images show how much the israelis have altered the “yellow line” and widened it in certain areas to expand their control over Gaza
The Trump administration announced that it will be moving to “phase 2” of the ceasefire plan. And yet, during the past three months that the so-called ceasefire has been in effect, the Israeli military has killed over 400 Palestinians...
The Times cheered on Israel's genocide.
And now they're using the apocalyptic consequences to sell copies.
Absolutely nauseating.
You. Cannot. Make. This. Shit. Up.

Newsom is positioning himself to be the slick smart Trump who can take the baton from MAGA when tech finally comes around he is straight up running for the position

Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.
if you havent cancelled spotify yet and this isnt the final nail in the coffin for you, i really dont know what else to say other than i hope some introspection finds you soon
This hits so close to home. The professional and personal isolation both @ramiismail.com, @tamoorh.com and many more describes is a brutal, unspoken reality. For many of us, the last two years haven't just been "difficult" but a systematic stripping away of support and community.
I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Breaking: Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, has died. She was 111 years old
Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

THIS. So much this! AI isn't opening doors for creativity, it's setting up a pay to play system. And part of it is building a narrative that real, living artists are "gatekeeping" art to vilify us. The only people that want to gatekeep art are the AI companies that want your cash.
cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention
Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social
Hollywood was better when execs were just doing a lot of cocaine and greenlighting everything that sounded cool
Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.
Surprise, we're getting pretty close to the final version of REALIS!
ICYMI: I've been making a TTRPG about mystical moons and living spaceships and sentences that can kill you. A preview is available now (see my pinned post), but the full version draws near!

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
