A group of local Seattle artists and cultural workers have drafted a letter to Mayor Wilson requesting that the city divert funds away from SPD and redirect it towards the arts. The main argument? Arts activations and cultural programming should be considered a form of public safety infrastructure.

Why Can’t Seattle Fund the Arts Like It’s FIFA Every Year? - The Stranger
There’s a draft of an open letter to Mayor Katie Wilson and the Seattle City Council that’s been making the rounds on social media and racking up signatures over the past few days. The request: divert $8 million from SPD’s $68 million proposed budget increase and give that money to the arts. The reasoning? Art […]

"Most presidents engage in diplomacy in order to advance the interests of the United States and/or their political standing and that of their party. Trump, though, mostly seems to chase the narcissistic thrill of standing on the world stage and feeling important."

We cannot let ICE hide their crimes behind the anonymity of masks and cover-ups by the Trump administration Any citizens or immigrants harmed by DHS agents deserve justice-with both civil remedies and criminal prosecution, if applicable And we must rid the country of these bloodthirsty thugs

This is exactly how I talk about it too! I've seen Gen AI try to write good comms and it's always completely terrible (see - most of LinkedIn, a bunch of the newer FB 'nz politics influencer' types.
Screenshot of a tumblr post reading: recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

DoorDash spent $1.4 million trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming NYC mayor. Mamdani just made them pay $131.5 million in wage theft settlements to 264,000 delivery workers. This is why they fear working class solidarity. It comes with accountability.

If you know anyone who works for DHS or for a law enforcement, probation, etc. agency that cooperates with ICE, read this to them and ask them questions. If you work for a prosecutor/sheriff/police/governor/mayor that says it does not cooperate with ICE, but also does not investigate it, same.
