Louisiana’s Act 246 locked up misoprostol and mifepristone, delaying emergency care, harming miscarriage treatment, and prompting lawsuits over political interference in medicine.

This is a cold civil war. There is no more territory to expand as a release valve, there’s no Kansas-Nebraska Acts and more Indians to force onto reservations; the only frontiers are inward and slave power is forcing its hand to tilt the scales while it still can.

today a stranger drove past me standing on the street and yelled “fuck you” and I didn’t assume it was about me because why would it be, then they got out of their car at the next light and screamed in my direction something something “dumb bitch” and I’d be more upset if it wasn’t so baffling

I understand Pope fatigue (I was confirmed by a child molester) and to an extent it's a Let Them Fight situation but it's genuinely important and different that the Catholic Church, a major geopolitical actor with endless resources dating back millennia, is coming out hard against fascism this time

i wrote about that park slope diner owner who’s hellbent on using AI advertising www.patreon.com/posts/155290...
the menu/burger image that’s described in the next image There's something suspiciously needy in all the pleas to "be smarter than AI," to learn how it works, to charge ahead with the hares instead of chilling with the tortoises. It's no brag to say that I am already smarter than AI. So are you, so is everybody, including the insecure people who refuse to live in a world where the mac and cheese they film doesn't look steamy enough. AI can only execute shallow imitations of the humanity we naturally inhabit. Case in point: this little slice of Daisy's advertising dystopia that appears in the interview with Beau. Sure, it pretty much looks like a photo of a menu sitting next to a burger, but at no point in looking at this image am I fooled into thinking it's a real burger or a real menu. What's with the inch-thick slice of cheese on the top half of the bun, where no slice of cheese ever goes? Since when do loaded beef nachos go under the "drink up" section of the menu? What the hell is "blackberry marh"? And perhaps most importantly, if the burger doesn't exist and the menu doesn't exist — if nothing in the picture maps onto reality — then what, exactly, is even being advertised to me?

I really support going to a protest btw I mean no disrespect. But the saying goes to tear this down we gotta push from every direction. The onus is one YOU to notice and defend those putting real skin in the game to end this war machine. Don't wait til the mass movement arrives. We live here now.

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

kinda funny how often people refer to their personal use of AI as “maybe the only good use of AI” and their reason is like, making an illustration or a flyer, as if learning a crude-level understanding of a new skill is impossible, and as if THAT would be the justifiable use of the technology
