I'm going to elaborate on this in as calm and reasonable way as possible, but sincerely: fuck off
the society of authors' feedback form about why you're not renewing your membership. In the write-in box, I have written: "I was shocked and deeply disappointed to see the magazine issue and now charter statement on genAI, which both seem totally full of waffle and apologist compromises.

This is a technology being used to put authors and illustrators out of jobs, using stolen work, and depleting the capacity for critical thought in people who use it. I get that you’re trying to make industry bodies agree to the charter as a ‘small step’ in the right direction. But I fundamentally disagree with the idea of some ‘ethical’ use becoming possible - look at the companies running these things, the severity of its environmental and community harms, the exploitative processes used to build and maintain the databases and server banks required.

As a full-time author who's marginalised and severely disabled, I do also find the idea that genAI companies are somehow making my job more accessible - not looking to undermine and destroy it - insulting and patently absurd.

I thought the SoA was supposed to advocate for authors' rights, and pleading with industry bodies to use this tech, but nicely, feels like a massive concession, and not one I'm able to be at all associated with."

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Hey residents of Los Angeles and San Diego, are we listening? Do we pay federal taxes for this level of representation? Are your state reps saving you from the sacrificial altar of this illegal war? U.S. residents outside those named cities- are you willing to let this criminal admin kill us all?

We want physical media for games. Stop trying to own everything in perpetuity to get more of our money. The business decision to only allow digital games leasing is a poor choice. You are losing customers and your brand is tainted. No more money to PlayStation. Stfu you greedy control freaks.

NEW: Evidence filed in a Colorado case reveals how ICE officers are arresting people without a warrant, which is illegal unless ICE determines the person is a flight risk. A man was dragged from his car after ICE showed him a warrant for someone else and refused to check his ID to see his identity.

Your lack of care undermines your point. Become discerning in the images you share, or stick to text only. Even uploading a picture of your valid point as text with no image is far better than this. You are making the problem worse. Start caring or stop posting

In lighthearted news… Updated the wall calendar to add a little joy to the month. Thought somewhere in the crowd, another Tim Curry or Rocky Horror enjoyer may like this too.
Original calendar is image of water in a forest, flowing past rocks aligned in a path. No location was noted, and no photographer was credited on the calendar, so it may well be AI slop. Apologies if so. The calendar was a gift. 

Original text laid over the image reads, “
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you have imagined.” -Henry David Thoreau”

Additionally added with sharpie is, “DON’T DREAM IT, BE IT.” -F.N.F.
Below the quote is a drawing of Tim Curry as Pennywise

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

ICE’s Camp East Montana is a hellhole. It’s been open less than a year and three people have died there, including the first-ever homicide in ICE detention (allegedly at the hands of guards). Both DHS and Congressional watchdogs have documented extensive problems. Shut it down!
The 84-page report issued jointly Wednesday by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union also says men and women held at Camp East Montana, located at the U.S. Army's Fort Bliss in El Paso, recounted being denied necessary medical care, forced to live in filthy conditions and fed inedible meals. Detainees also said they were prevented from contacting their lawyers or family members.
Of the 71 detainees contacted over a five month period, 64 - about 90% of those interviewed - said they had either personally been assaulted by the staff or had seen others physically abused, according to the report.
