People really need to fucking re-learn the difference between "I don't like this" and "This is harmful". Not liking a thing is fine, but you don't get to dictate what others enjoy, actually. Especially not within fiction. Be an adult. If you don't like something, move on.

elymaiis on Tumblr:

""If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you
teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime," but
you have done neither. You have stood before us and
eaten fish after fish, and chided us for our greed as
you have done so. You have cast aside their offal and
simultaneously chided us for our waste. You then
told us that, coincidentally, you owned the river, and
our parents should have gotten us the same if we
wanted fish. You gave a man a fish to murder us if
we step too close to the river, or speak too loud, or
eat a fish from another river. You've copyrighted the
fishing net. It costs us fish to leave."

per @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social we are not going to get back to anything like a functioning country until there is once again a price for public officials blatantly lying about facts.

After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”

part of why I don't like AI is bc it's so often the antithesis of caring for the little things, the appreciation of the mundane, of seeing beauty where others haven't yet been able to, and seeking genuine fundamental understanding all in the name of "get product faster" I find it so disheartening

Don't just share the most polished, professional works. Repost the people who are just starting, who are amateur, who maybe don't have the proportions or the anatomy or the color down. Remember they're choosing to pick up a pencil and enjoy the act of creating, many of them for the first time.

Folks are really falling for “Money won’t exist in 10 years which is why I, the richest man on earth, am extremely interested in you giving me all your money right now” and, man, it’s like we wore out all those PT Barnum quotes before we really needed them.

It's also coming to a head in Japan right now because ai backlash in Japan is starting to resemble the tenor people had 3 years ago in America as popular artists are going "wait, they're stealing from us?" So it's going to be really interesting.

I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at. www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi...

Enshittification, Despotification, and the Open Internet
It’s not about whether technology is inherently good or bad, liberating or oppressive. Architecture shapes incentives; incentives shape outcomes.

I spoke to two members of United Wizards of the Coast-CWA about new and baffling anti-union efforts from WotC management, including an embarrassing "debate" format that nobody enjoyed. Workers also extended sympathy to Arena supervisors who are caught in the propaganda machine with little recourse.

Thread. Some folks who followed me from the Bad Place may remember an old thread where I asked a NatSec friend for a “surprise” threat and he said “If you own anything in Phoenix, sell and get the hell out.” That was close to 20 years ago.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE
 Page from a book saying:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your Leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

A red winged blackbird's breath can be seen as he sings his morning song. The bird is sitting on a cattail and the rising morning sun illuminates his breath.

As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments. And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines. I’ll call that progress.
