ChatGPT is adding the signatures of real New Yorker cartoonists to its AI-generated images. So far, I've found the signatures of more than 15 contributors. "It’s slop, and unlike the other slop that I’ve encountered, this is slop that’s pretending to be me." www.niemanlab.org/2026/10/chat...
Left: A cartoon generated by ChatGPT and signed with Emily Flake’s signature that was posted to a Reddit forum in June. Right: A real Emily Flake cartoon published in The New Yorker on August 20, 2026 and licensed via The Cartoon Bank.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

on two occasions I have run into a dude who went with the "I identify as a woman" thing because he thinks its really funny and my learning has been that if you take his word for it and start calling him a woman he stops finding it funny in about 1 second and starts getting upset & so you don't stop

People seem to understand that it is epistemic vandalism to associate childishness with egalitarian ideals - wealth tax, living wage, housing for all etc - but can't quite seem to get it that it is also epistemic vandalism to see childishness, and children, as bad things in the first place.

Weird how none of the Odyssey discourse is about this
The Odyssey is the first major Hollywood production to shoot scenes in Western Sahara. This would have been unthinkable prior to 2020 when Donald Trump broke with decades of US foreign policy and recognized Morocco's illegally established sovereignty over the territory. The decision was part of a quid pro quo in exchange for Morocco's normalization of ties with Israel. Now Nolan and crew's four day shoot in Dakhla illustrates how quickly Hollywood have moved to exploit the opportunities created by Trump's transactional diplomacy.

For those who don’t know, the Luddites smashed up machines that were being used to take their jobs and subsequently coerce them into accepting lower pay, exactly like we’re seeing with AI. The name was then smeared by pro-corpo scum over time. If you wanna call me a Luddite I won’t reject it.

🇸🇩 A confidential Doctors Without Borders (MSF) investigation found widespread sexual abuse and exploitation by some staff working in camps hosting Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad, AP reports. 

The report documented 59 allegations, including claims that aid workers traded food, jobs, or humanitarian assistance for sex, with some victims reportedly underage girls. MSF dismissed 18 staff members, and investigators said some cases suggested possible organized sexual trafficking.

The MSF report said it found 59 allegations of abuse and said 18 staff members were dismissed and barred from future employment. The report also said some of the repeated exploitation suggested potentially organized “sexual trafficking.”Sam Mednick

The report credited AP as playing “a fundamental role as an external whistleblower.” In 2024 AP reporting found that women had accused staff of sexually exploiting them in displacement sites in Chad, where hundreds of thousands fled from #Sudan’s devastating civil war.

The report says the group was investigating several cases of sexual exploitation of female refugees in exchange for food, water and milk. It also found cases of sex in exchange for jobs, and the prostitution of female refugees, including underage girls.
