ProPublica has marketed themselves as the good guys doing trustworthy news. I even gave them the money I used to give WaPo before they flipped the breakers on democracy.

If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.

OH. MY. GOD.

And do not tell me Republicans did this all. Even if it were true that only Republicans committed war crimes, the people who twiddled their thumbs and were like, "ah, well, boys will be boys, let's move forward" do in fact bear some measure of blame.
That sounds SO heavenly. Both the thriving lavender plant and the cake. (I had lavender growing last season and it suddenly died out of nowhere. I’ve never gotten over it. 😭)
It's super American to downplay this shit and make it about us instead of the Iranian people who are on the receiving end of these threats
I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.
Sort of. Surviving under a constant state of terror shortens your life.
(I am drafting a short story that’s due soon, and in my head about it Not Being Good Enough. Went back to a different short I sold last year, that hasn’t come out yet, and…🥹 It’s good. 🥹🥹🥹)

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.
Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

Just sitting here thinking about how Black ppl came up with jazz, the blues, rock and roll and hip hop WHILE this country was doing everything it could to ensure we had nothing. Nobody needs Al to create except the untalented.
