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.”

Ready to go. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing a suburban living room on Grand Final Day (AFL or the code of your choice). The title: All Ready For Game Day. Left to right, items are shown and labelled: a television (TV), a couch (Comfy Seats), meats pies with sauce and a bowl of chips (Snacks), an ice bucket full of alcoholic drinks (Drinks), a phone (Betting Apps), an overnight bag, partially concealed under the table with a teddy bear next to it (Emergency Go Bag). Standing in the doorway, eyes on the go bag, is an anxious young mother with a baby girl on her hip and a boy holding her hand, as they wait for things to kick off.

I much prefer the historically accurate version where the British conquered the world for spices and still couldnt use any of them until the people they stole the spices from went there to show them how to use pepper

The myth that drug addiction is a failure of education or parenting is not only harmful, it is patently false. Drug addiction and drug abuse are not failures of character or morality.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

Every stitch tells a story of love, community, and remembrance. Volunteers across MN created the "Stolen Neighbors Quilt" with 11,000 squares to honor Minnesotans detained by ICE. Each fabric square represents a neighbor, a family member, and a life impacted by deportation. We stand for Justice!

As soon as the attacks occurred on September 11, 2001, we designed this poster and began circulating it. We knew the attacks on the United States didn't come out of nowhere. And as the patriots waved their flags, we knew that it wouldn't be long before there were hundreds of thousands more dead.

There are some ways of being that we see in other people that we just don't understand at all, and in some cases it even makes us uncomfortable, and you wouldn't fucking believe how easy it is to just mind your own business and get on with your own life about it without making it everyone's problem.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

JK Rowling has engaged in Holocaust denial. She denies the fact that nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld institute and burned all their books which contained the first research on trans people.
Screenshot of a post on X by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) quote-tweeting another user.
​Rowling's caption reads: "I just... how? How did you type this out and press send without thinking ‘I should maybe check my source for this, because it might’ve been a fever dream’?"
​The quoted post states: "The Nazis burnt books on trans healthcare and research, why are you so desperate to uphold their ideology around gender?"

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.gallifreyan jedi says

one of the fundamental political divides is "it's better to deprive millions of people of basic needs so that a couple dozen people don't game the system" vs "what the fuck is wrong with you"

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.
Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.
