say what you will about the myriad valid concerns with current LLMs but I personally will never get over the fact that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted to his literal death for downloading JSTOR and then a decade later, they downloaded & ingested the entire world and our IP laws just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe if this administration restored the food safety inspectors they fired and the regulations they gutted, this would stop happening.

Turns out you can call Etsy's help line and request a feature (fixing Pirateship's API access so it can be effectively used for Etsy sales again). It took me several tries, but I have a case number. If you miss this, I recommend requesting a call and asking for this feature. #etsy #enshittification

"Who Is Superman? A Private Interview With Lois Lane" A story about hope and connection ☀️(1/4)
A comic cover for a fan comic. The cover portrays Superman carrying Lois Lane (she is depicted as a Southeast Asian woman in a purple office suit and skirt).Superman sets Lois down gently as she says, ‘That’s going to take some getting used to.’ The two are far from the city, in a roadside canyon with a view overlooking Metropolis. Standing in front of a fence with Metropolis and a sunset-colored sky in the distance, Superman asks, ‘The flying?’ Pulling something from her pocket, Lois says, ‘Oh, that and everything. Let’s get to it, shall we?’

The item she pulled from her pocket turns out to be a recorder device, which clicks on as she says, ‘This is Lois Lane of the Daily Planet, interviewing the elusive Superman. The date is – nevermind, let’s cut to the chase.’ He looks somewhat surprised as Lois paces around. She says ‘Although some feel that you’ve made your intentions clear to Metropolis through your acts of heroism and good will … others feel that the way you’ve avoided giving an official statement has led to speculation and worry.’She holds the recorder up to him and asks, ‘So why speak up now, Superman?’ He pauses before responding.

Superman smiles and says, ‘Well … because I’m ready to talk.’

Looking incredulous, Lois asks, ‘Can you explain why you feel “ready” to talk.’

Now floating a few feet off the ground, he replies, ‘I guess … people have always been nosy about me, even before I started flying. Lately it’s like every other day someone’s trying to figure out who I am and how I’m like this.’

He finger guns in her direction and says, ‘Why, you were the most gutsy about investigating me, Ms. Lane. Didn’t you pitch that one theory about my strength being the result of a lab accident—’ She cuts him off- blushing in embarrassment as she says, ‘Okay, listen!’

Think of her like the kind of character that isn't working for the villains, but they certainly aren't helping the main cast, either. She's a brute, a loud-mouthed brat, and despite her considerable strength, she really only does what she wants-- terrorizing Novria.

Harry Truman said the Constitution stands for "the welfare of all the people, all the time." Of course, he said this to American soldiers whose own families had been taken from their homes. For them, it didn't. Shame. This country could stand for those things. That's what patriotism should be about.
