This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase

Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

They were cool with the racism, sexism, bigotry, corruption, dismantling of social services and common decency, burning every ally, shooting American citizens in the face in the street, the insurrection, Trump being besties with Epstein etc etc. But once the price of gas got too high it was over.

Re: “people don’t bike in the winter”, let’s think about places where people bike more: the Netherlands, Denmark, Berlin, Paris. Not great weather Places in Southern Europe with great weather and no winter (Italy, Greece) don’t have large biking numbers It’s not the weather. It’s infrastructure

Saving local Newspapers is one of the most important projects of guarding democracy. They do more than anything to enable community action, & they help hold corporations & landlords to account and expose and correct the small local exploitations that cause so much suffering and drain so many lives.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

A lot of people think “surgery for trans youth never happens, so it’s okay if we offer that up as a sacrifice.” And it -is- rare but we need to defend it as between a doctor and their patient, and parents. Sometimes, it is necessary, often as a result of complications. Please read this article.

The Trump administration betrayed the soul of the nation and made every single one of us complicit in a sin against the most basic principles of humanity. ICE has caused unimaginable suffering and harm. It simply must be made right.

It is possible to vote in person in Oregon. But not very practical as there is only one location for voting per county. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Yes, you can vote in-person in Oregon. Here’s how

Voters who prefer to cast their ballot in person can do so at their county elections office, including on Election Day.

Speaking for Oregonians here, where we don't even have the option of voting in person: Find your nearest ballot dropbox, rather than mailing it in. Your envelope will remain under the control of county employees from when they collect it from the dropbox until they count it.
