Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

Post I scrolled by a bit ago: "Oceans should not be battlefields." And I mean, nowhere should be, so it's not like I disagree, but...that's hardly a uniquely new venture.

The worst part of Bonta caving on the Paramount merger is that it's a big flashing signal to every other company that there is no antitrust enforcement in America and you can bully your way into getting whatever you want. It's a monumentally bad decision.

I just got another dose of someone trumpeting about the MILLENNIAL CHILDHOOD and all of it was about tech I used as a kid. The fact that there's overlap with Gen X is perfectly natural. Happy to share! But that would require millennials acknowledging that they're not the only ones in the room...

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

Not that generational wars are ever worth it, but some days, millennial narcissism really makes me want to smack a bitch. Gen X beat you to an awful lot of what you like to claim is OOOOONLY MIIILLLLEEENNIAAAALS, and it might be nice now and then if you'd at least pretend to care that we exist.

Like this gives the Saudis a content veto power over EA, Bioware, Paramount, CBS, Nickelodeon, Showtime, and BET, and if the newest merger gets approved they’ll also have content veto power over HBO, CNN, the whole WB universe, Discovery, TBS, TNT, plus the PGA and ATP. It’s pretty stunning.

It should be illegal to buy a company with debt and then sell it off to a foreign owner, but that fight was lost long ago. Anyway, now the Saudis own a truly distressing portion of American entertainment, from Hollywood to Video Games to Sports. This is not neutral behavior. Anyway.
