So apparently that HWA pro-AI newsletter also uses Indigenous water rights issues as a prop, trivializing the activism by Indigenous peoples to protect our water including specific anti-data centre actions. I guess they figured why not alienate Indigenous horror writers while they’re at it?

“Sure. Sure.

Yes, we know AI is using up resources. So does driving a car or a planes so does building a new home. So do a lot of things. Humans have always used up Earth’s resources and usually not nicely. There are reservations and other Indigenous communities in Canada that have never had clean water and have been ravaged by pipeline construction. But somehow that’s been okay for the past fifty or a hundred years, and very few people scream about that. But suddenly, AI is the enemy, not everything else we’ve been doing all along. Suddenly YOUR water might not be clean, so it’s a Big Deal”.

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

A pencil drawing of a crushed, flattened Red Bull Ice Iced Vanilla Berry energy drink can. Most of it is very lightly shaded, subtly modelled wrinkles & folds. Ants are seen beneath the can, legs & antennae showing along the edges, working together to carry it off to someplace.

It’s heartwarming that Emmett Till is honored in Chicago, but we must acknowledge that the racism in Mississippi which led to his murder thrives, as people there symbolically lynch him on a regular basis by vandalizing a sign marking where his body was recovered We still have so much work to do

Black and white side view of a hunched over, balding creature with dark, bulging eyes, shocks of wild hair around the sides of his head, and a protruding, snout-like nose. His jaw opens wide to reveal sharp, skin-covered teeth and a long, black, tongue dripping a tendril of saliva. Deformed skin stretches against the face, forming deep grooves and wrinkles as it shrieks, and emerges from the shadows.

Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.

The Case for the Forever Shutdown

Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as “great writing”]

Interstellar Battle - 2016 A fun sci-fi illustration I painted in Procreate while developing my custom Evolution Brushes. I almost typed the words "from back in the day". Time flies. #art #scifi #digitalpainting #Procreate #space

A woman in a red, metal, armored spacesuit hovers in the air over a dusty, toxic landscape as a spaceship battle between two warring factions plays out behind her. The plasma jets shooting from her gloves and boots glow a bright green. Circular spaceships with four pink lights underneath, fire pink laser blasters at large black spaceships outfitted with green lights. The large black spaceships return fire with green laser blasts. The atmosphere is thick and red. A dim sun surrounded by a Dyson sphere that powers the civilization below hangs in the distance on the left side. In the distance on the right side, the outline of an extremely large planet can be seen through the thick, smoke and dust-filled air.
