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've unlisted my books from Amazon (except for the Dirty Money books which I don't have the rights to) and D2D. While I'm looking into alternatives, please feel free to PM me here for either ebooks or paperbacks. #IndiePublishing

It takes a toll.

4 frame comics. first frame shows espresso in a portafilter. second shows a coconut milk carton and a cup to foam milk with a thermometer. 4rd frame shows a small espresso machine making espresso. 4th frame shows a foamy cappuccino in a promotional Frozen the Musical coffee cup. The text, spread over the four frames, reads :
I wish that I could give cis
people a glimpse of what it
feels like.
to be villainized and
dehumanized in the media
every day.
to see your existence
being legislated against all
around the planet.
to see friends and
family members vote for
politicians who promise to
make the lives of people
like you worse.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/

A 1960s family living room in which a mom, dad and two kids are mesmerized by a cabinet-style TV. The image has been altered. The TV has an early 1990s VCR atop it. The TV screen is displaying a cross-sectioned human head with brains and spine on display. A huge fist has materialized in the room, with bloody spiked knuckle-dusters, smashing into the VCR. The oil painting over the sofa has been replaced with a pulp image of a male head, its cranium removed and replaced by a dome. Inside the dome is a red eight-segment VCR clock, displaying 12:00. The background in the painting is a tangle of cassette tape. The whole image's colors have been boosted, giving it an overexposed look.

Personally, publicly interrogating an author on how they could have the temerity to make creative decisions you do not approve of is...a thing you can do. We have free will, after all. It might be worth considering, though, that you will be showing your entire ass to whoever sees you do it.

Spot on. The goal was never excellence, it was cheapness. Trillions spent just to replace human genius with cold, lukewarm mediocrity that doesn't ask for healthcare.

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

This video is making the rounds, which is great! Some of the Youths haven't seen it, and it's incredible. Tandi Iman Dupree died 4 years after it was filmed, at just 27, of complications of AIDS. She should be alive today. Celebrating queer history is also a reminder of the ongoing need to fight.

Newsflash: Life is NOT neutral. Whatever you do or omit doing, you are picking a side. Neutrality is a theoretical concept. Your choices (and, yes, doing nothing is a choice) ALWAYS have consequences.

Girl's umbrella

comic that shows Frank and Stephie. Frank opens the door and says : ugh it started raining. Stephie : you can borrow my umbrella. (the umbrella is pink with cat ears and whiskers). Frank : that's a girl's umbrella. Stephie : well that's perfect, since it's girl's rain. Frank : that's not a thing. rain doesn't have a gender. Stephie : neither do umbrellas. Frank looks at Stephie suspiciously. Stephie : ooooh! objects don't have a gender. mind = blown! Frank: I'll... I'll take the umbrella.
