Just got out of Primetime and holy cow, did it manage to hit at a very timely moment considering recent news. It's a gorgeous looking movie that really nails the mid 00s in a scathing way.

When some comics became intangible online, paper became *visible* to artists again, leading to beautiful new paper comics. Now, when some "art" becomes inhuman, *we* become visible to ourselves again. What beautiful new *human* art might be the result?

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

I think you can tell these people are unserious because it's never "acknowledge our machines are conscious so we can give them self-determination/rights/pay." There never seems to be a call to action other than "give us less oversight and more money"

Y'all I'm so serious, *anything* you can do locally to get even a few more voters to show up is worth doing. Postcards, canvassing, phonebanking, texting friends, helping folks check their registration. There is momentum here and we need a win!

Update: I emailed the publisher yesterday on a whim to see if I could cancel my order since it was a preorder. This morning got a polite response that they understand and are refunding me. 👍👍

Not me spending 2 hours researching the official Project Hail Mary fox cardigan knitting kit only to buy the pattern separate and decide to figure out the yarn on my own. Instead of actually working on my current cardigan project.

You can't train police officers out of having no empathy for their fellow humans.

Also? A lot of men who did sharing and reposting at the start of MeToo were revealed to be predators who happened to be good at hiding behind allyship. Just doing that doesnt inherently make you safe to me.

Dropout is an incredible company in that they'll just announce something no one could have possibly predicted would come to their platform.

Thinking a lot lately about the men I know who are willfully ignorant about power dynamics and how I don’t *know* they’ve done anything specifically worse than be willfully ignorant about power dynamics but also if I had to guess which of my acquaintances had, I’d guess them first.

kinda feels like the time to say something was before charging people with phony crimes for protesting and then waging an elaborate conspiracy to cover up prosecutorial misconduct but who asked me?

Went to the 400 Theatre to see a special screening of Bell, Book, and Candle (1958). The 400 is gearing up for Halloweentime with some witchy movies.

As a pragmatic centrist, I read the Niemöller poem differently. After each group mentioned I pencil in what percentage of the population they are, and if it’s a small number I cross off their names as disposable. Poetry is fine but math wins elections!!

I would like the liberals screaming on social media about releasing the Epstein files to read the material that has been released where Jeffrey Epstein very deliberately talks about his plan to engineer right wing politics around transphobia in order to conquer greater society

Every trans adult was once a trans kid. Hormone blockers are a compromise and merely a pause button. Let kids experience the same puberty as their peers. The truly only irreversible thing is puberty. The only motivation and point for stopping trans kids from accessing medical care is *cruelty*.
