ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.

With less than a week left before Fur-Eh!, it may be a good time to brush up on strategies to have the best possible experience. One important one is the 621 Rule: 6 hours of sleep, 2 meals, and 1 shower (2 for fursuiters), every day. Don't let being hangry or tired ruin your fun! #FurEh #621rule

#books The non-fiction book this week is the illuminating, informative, and incredibly depressing 'The Dictator's Handbook' by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita & Alastair Smith. It's what it says it is on the cover, and after reading it, you'll be able to take over a country–or at least understand the news.

Trump blowing up his own ceasefire is the latest evidence that his "short-term excursion" in Iran has become a forever war. Senator Bernie Sanders warned of exactly this a decade ago.

I feel the same way about genAI fanfic. If someone thought it was a respectable way to "produce content" (ugh) for fandom, they'd tag it. But no. They want the credit/accolades for WRITING, and they don't want people to filter out their work bc they feel entitled to readers.

Like, the payoff thing is fairly implausible, but the idea that it is common for operatives to THREATEN women into reporting rape is just fucking silly. Again, given what accusers go through & are accused of themselves, WHEN TELLING THE TRUTH, other than death, what would you threaten them with?

Also, AGAIN, I didn't claim false allegations have never been made. I said "name multiple women who have benefited by accusing high-profile men of rape". Because for a woman to think she can profit by such accusations, wouldn't she have to have seen SOMEONE profit like this before?

This article is disturbing on it's own but something it doesn't address that I want to highlight is, if Moraff DID get other journalists to lie about Platner, then that's the kind of fireable ethics breach that could be used as blackmail to coerce a journalist to do further unethical things for him.

a few days ago i brought this sign to remind everyone of the lives that we taken abruptly by ice. literally that same day, a man was fatally shot by ice in Houston during a traffic stop. this is why we need to KEEP FIGHTING, their names will never be forgotten
a picture of a cardboard sign i created saying 
“Say their Names!” And lists every single person who passed away in Ice custody, outside custody, and even enforcement involved. at the bottom it says ~ “And Many More” to signify the deaths that we may not know about or weren’t reported due to them hiding their crimes

this exploitation model--perks, rewards, and special services that entice the target to spend more time gambling--is precisely what casinos have been doing for decades (see Schull, Addiction by Design) and tech-gambling has been rapidly workshopping in the past few years (see Cassidy, Vicious Games)

I remember articles from like 2011-12 or so, back when mobile games coverage was plentiful, where you'd have devs bragging about doing this with big spenders on their f2p games. Not a coincidence that around the same time there were writeups about a big exodus of gambling designers to mobile games.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So: In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

ICE fatally shot a man in Houston yesterday. Agents arrested a nun on her way to mass. An Afghan who helped the U.S. military died in ICE detention, one of at least 21 people to die in detention this year. The headlines have moved on, but Trump is still waging his reign of terror.
