After another shooting and the raid on Ilhan Omar's home, Rep. Delia Ramirez says abolishing ICE isn't enough. She has introduced a bill to "dismantle" the entire Department of Homeland Security.

the fundamental thing wrong with this ai-driven "hyper personalization" pipe dream is that your preferences are constantly changing, primarily in response to experiencing things that are different from your current preferences and expectations, through this little-known process called Living.

A real welfare state and universal health care require broad taxation, including the middle class. But high end wealth taxation is the kind of tax that protects democracy and the rule of law, and prevents aristocratic dynasties. It keeps us human.

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse
kayinnasaki

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with  those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

A man strides across a dimly lit hallway, brandishing magical gauntlets. He rolls up a sleeve in anticipation of a fight to come. The shapes of the composition are angular and art-deco-inspired.

Yes. Art and design have been so de-valued that the act of creating it has been deemed worthless. Meanwhile, the hypocrisy is an absolutely ravenous commercial hunger for art but zero willingness to pay for it. Valuing artists enough to pay them more than poverty wages is the bare minimum.

Digital painting. An old human skeleton lying on the ground, some parts of it are buried or broken, it resembles a fossil. The ground under it is a stone with a lot of ammonites in it, they are different in size and color, some are iridescent.

Feels like it's really hard to find good stuff on Steam that isn't already incredibly popular these days. Like I would love if there was a search feature for finding stuff that was less popular, but still good ya know? Stuff that's more niche, weird, experimental.

Two gaunt, feminine humanoid creatures with luminescent skin and mermaid tails, each sporting 6 glowing eyes in alien looking heads. They sit in repose in a pond with glowing, shimmering water, in the woods at night. In the distance you can see a light in the window of a lone wooden cabin.

Why do y'all hate your art so much. Apologizing for "messy sketches" that are full blown paintings. Refusing to reblog your work. Holding back WIPs because they're not pretty perfect portfolio pieces. Never a nice thing to say about your art. You might say you hate AI, but do you love your art???

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

I know this'll ruffle feathers but I agree with this Food/Water watch analysis. Diverting renewable energy away from fossil phase-out and climate adaptation and towards melting graphics card to power chatbots is the formal end of moral purpose for clean technology.
Data Centers With Renewables Aren’t the Answer
So all these power plants and “temporary” turbines are raising power prices and polluting our communities. Why don’t we just power data centers with renewables?

Many data center companies are pledging to (eventually) do just that. But even if these pledges weren’t just empty greenwashing promises, powering data centers with clean energy is utterly unrealistic. It also threatens the progress of our already dangerously slow energy transition.

Continuously powering a 1 GW data center would require nearly 20,000 acres of solar panels or 185,000 acres of onshore wind power. We cannot afford to waste the time, space, or money to build renewables for Big Tech’s profit machines. 

Already, data center growth is outstripping available renewable energy supply and redirecting renewables from other industries. It’s drawing urgently needed renewables from existing technologies and resources. We need to focus our renewable energy resources toward thos

Digital painting of a woman with a beautiful face, and a skinless, mutated body. Her muscles are exposed with tendons sprawled in unnatural patterns all over her flesh. There are barbed wires constricting her left wrist, and an open hole in the middle of her left hand. 

Her entire right forearm is a mutated weapon of sorts; a dismembered skeleton's skull and ribcage tethered to her flesh by bloody tendrils, and its lower part ends in a serrated blade.
