Literally no one has been left behind because of not using gen AI. This is a lie fed to you by stakeholders and obsequious bootlickers. Stop being so utterly spineless. Money and false promises are not worth your integrity. This is the most infuriating thing to witness.

One thing I do find extremely tragically ironic is how much conservative Christians will bring up Romans 13 for all the civil disobedience they dislike but I’ve never seen a conservative church take a hard line against conservative political opposition to taxes

It cannot be stressed enough, in part because our political press seems to just brush this off, but Donald Trump loves state-sanctioned violence. When he says this, he absolutely means it. Remember, when the J6ers were going to hang Mike Pence on the Capitol lawn, Trump was perfectly fine with it.

❤️ Gillian Green, publisher at Tor Bramble, told The Bookseller: “HM Wolfe has confirmed that Daggermouth was written entirely without AI. We stand behind our author, and we do not recognise third-party AI detection tools as a fair or reliable measure of authenticity when used on their own.”

The annual Deadlands fundraiser is usually a wonderland full of delightfully creepy signed books, beautiful tokens for Charon, etc., but this year is different and special and the prize is Elise. The prize is "Elise is not destroyed by hospital stay and therefore everyone gets more Elise."

I also feel like, while I get the "By Furries" part, there is room for welcoming and promoting creators (especially those from disadvantaged / marginalized communities) who are willing to embrace and respect the Furry community. Long way of saying we can embrace those who embrace us, too.

As easy as it is to blame American Evangelicals, it’s hardly just an American Christianity problem. The whole welcoming the alien, providing for the poor and infirm, and doing for the least of these really harshes their whole vibe

An article titled Christian Nationalism in Britain Driven by People who Seleom go to Church says report.

The article opens: Research challenges the notion that the growing visibility of crosses and other symbols reflects a revival of Christianity

The picture shows British Nazis in high vis vests for some reason

They worship and love death. It is their god

The Christofascists of today do not view themselves as existing outside
Christianity, but it can be said that they worship a different god: the god of the plantation, concentration camps, prisons, punishing your enemies, apartheid, and genocide. Again, Söelle says as much, stating that in the Religious Right, she saw
"a God without justice, a Jesus without a cross, an Easter without a cross-what remains is a metaphysical Easter Bunny in front of the beautiful blue light of the television screen, a betrayal of the disappointed, a miracle weapon in service of the mighty."
Their political objectives reveal the god of Christofascism as a god of death, a god who proclaims a gospel of counterfeit life while feasting upon life itself. Within this god's political project, being a good

I need Guillermo del Toro to direct Nicolas Cage in an indie, budget horror movie with practical effects, where gen AI is the central antagonist, Nic has to defeat while spouting baller one-liners, and everything is insanely artsy and atmospheric and creepy.
