One of the greatest line reads of all time. Tim Curry for Command And Conquer, clearly it was a one and done and he could barely stop laughing at the ridiculousness of the line. Perfection

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom

A nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."

again think about the choices that are made in the media to cover Mamdani's call for Netanyahu's arrest as if it is extremist hate speech or an incitement to violence in context of both the domestic popularity and international elite consensus around the issue.

In other news, the strangest meme I have ever been a part of is not only alive and annually reposted by Criterion…but truly fantastic directors now kind of know who we are? Still waiting on the closet invite though.

Hey fellow queers. Wanna hear a fun fact? You can’t have negative self talk during Pride month. That’s homophobia and it’s a crime 🌈💛🤘 Say only nice things about yourself. I don’t make the rules.

Things feel grim right now, but Venezuela won last night’s baseball game, and my darling friend at the village bar was prepared. Sometimes the only salve for horrific times is dancing around an empty bar on a Monday night.

BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA was a new type of personal project for me that I'm still very fond of. You can read it for free in this thread: bsky.app/profile/oliv... or pick up the PDF here: oliveoilcorp.itch.io/ballad-for-b...

Page 1 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA.
A Black woman stands in the middle of towering trees with large holes in their trunks. She wears a sheer slip dress and looks up at the orange sky.

Caption: THE SKY HAS A CRACK IN IT.

Page 2 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA.

Following the woman's line of sight, we're looking up at an angry-looking sky that almost looks split down the middle. The shot is framed by a pair of damaged trees.

CAPTION:
"A big gaping wound right there, in the middle."

In the next panel, thick droplets of moisture run down a harsh cloudy-looking texture.

CAPTION: "It leaks."

$Page 5 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA. Panel 1: Sweat drips down the woman's face as she exerts herself. Panel 2: The woman is small against the backdrop of the fracturing sky as she climbs the steep cliffside. Panel 3: The woman has climbed to the top. She holds on for dear life at the edge of the cliff, trying to address a person standing there in front of her. The person shares the same exact shape as the woman, but their features are obscured by the same swampy textures that can be seen inside the crack of the sky. They are You. Caption: "I came to tell You about the crack." Panel 4: You turns their head up to gaze at the cracked sky. Page 5 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA.

Me holds a mallet and looks on as Mine and Our neighbors work to build a shelter from the timber.

"The work that client firms are settling for is not better when it’s produced by AI, but it’s cheaper, and deemed 'good enough.'” This is exactly what I feared. Not that AI would replace good writing (it can't), but that good writing would cease to be valued
