Talking to a man who was on one of the deportation to a third country flights - as usual super strong asylum claim - and he describes watching ICE officers beat men who tried to protest being forced on a flight to place they'd never even heard before. Everything about this is so fucked.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

the whole 'i dont like AI but THIS i can get behind' when its a story about someone pounding a trex or a minotaur is such a bad take. camp is art. real legitimate art. honestly kind of astonished to see anti-AI folks just ignoring their stated values because someones AI erotica cover made them laugh

Folks, I'm happy to announce my next game will use up all water, destroy humanity in a global blaze, & lose $8 billion weekly. IPO starts at a 20 gazillion euros valuation based on me counting the amount of zeroes wrong. Upon checking the prototype I realized bigger number is better. Supersentience.

At Cornell, one person— Christina Liang — handles every disciplinary case, including the Cornell Seven’s and the suspensions of over 40 protestors. Liang wrote in 2025 that “2024 was one of the most challenging years of my career…and it helped me learn that caring less is okay.”

Location:
I'm not condoning my brothers actions but just tryin to figure out some options. My brother was arrested for felony assault causing injury against his criminal defense attorney in another misdemeanor case. The attorney is a pretty well known attorney in the area I guess. Now we are finding that other lawyers wont take his case which I understand is his fsult but what are our options if he is found too financially stable to get a public one? He has been in custody for months.

It really sucks that these companies are just offloading the cognitive load of figuring out what is and what isn't AI on to all of us, and we don't deserve it. People also don't deserve to be jumped on for your misinterpretation of what AI is, you absolutely TV edit of a G-rated movie

We need more things made from people’s deep personal feelings, not less. We need less committee, less algorithm. The good stuff comes from people souls without being heavily tampered with by rich businessmen who know nothing about art or story. People want to connect with that gem inside.
