a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

While I was struggling with protecting my mom's site from the bot swarm I kept asking everyone who is still in the industry how small sites who don't have a kid with a computer science degree survive and the answer was pretty much "they don't" and that's so grim

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Nabbed from a Discord server and I just find it hilarious just how true this is with how some of y'all react.
A meme using a still of an anime-style man with glasses, standing outside and gesturing toward the right with one hand. Large white text at the top reads “PEOPLE ONLINE.” Blue text in the upper-right reads “ANY TTRPG THAT ACKNOWLEDGES SEX AS A THING THAT HAPPENS.” Large yellow text across the lower portion reads “IS THIS F.A.T.A.L.?” The image has an imgflip.com watermark in the bottom-right corner.

I think this is correct, but I also don't think it matters all that much. Even as someone who over-indexes on "get the facts right/know how things work, even for things that are bad", the whole ecosystem is poisoned enough that I think it's fine for people to dismiss it altogether if they want to

If we take that at face value the next step is for the UN to pass a resolution declaring the makers of AI to be hostis humani generis ("enemy of humanity"). That would be the predicate under international law to treat them like privates, creating universal jurisdiction to capture and punish them. 🤷‍♂️

Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Historically, automation tech has commonly made more work for people: the issue is WHICH people. Whether as an excuse for owners to increase the requirements for expectations in a given day, lessen the labor expected of men while raising the expectations for women, etc. "AI" isn't exceptional.

RASCAL NEWSLETTER: The "Genocide Is Bad" organization has determined that this owners of this golf course actively support genocide. They have asked people not to play golf here, so go forward fully informed about the political context surrounding it. Now watch this drive
A screenshot from Rascal's newsletter which reads:

[Blizzard Entertainment is owned by Microsoft, which has been named a "priority target" by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement over its complicity in Israel's ongoing occupation of Palestine and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. That boycott explicitly extends to Xbox and Microsoft's gaming products. I am about to spend a few paragraphs writing about a game I love (warts and all), so go forward fully informed about the political context surrounding it.]

World of Warcraft has once again activated the siren call, luring me back to shores I've explored for the majority of my life at this point. This latest temptation is the strongest and most devious, nostalgia mixed with big promises in the form of Wow: Forever. (The essay goes on.)

You can always try negotiate. But this is not about the negotiation, this is about the READING of the rider in the first place. Many venues say “yes sure we can do your rider” without READING it. Then they don’t follow the instructions, and cause big technical issues and/or dangerous accidents.

The M&Ms are a check on whether the venue has read the rider fully/in detail. If the venue gets in touch saying “we can’t do the brown M&Ms nonsense”, you know they’ve read the other (important for performance and safety) parts.
