They gave US zinester Elizabeth Soto *50 fucking years* in prison for publishing a zine that supports an anti-fascism stance. Prosecutors also used her feminism themed zine, and an anti-AI zine as evidence against her. This is unprecedented.

Controversially though, taken alone these stunts are pretty cool.

Wonder if anything big happened in 1917, the year after the first billionaire, and if there anything we should be thinking about now that we’ve passed this new milestone?

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

read the article making this argument and it just reinforced the 3d printing analogy. the industry hype with AI is 100x larger, but the pattern was a similar "this is going to change humanity" to "this is going to revolutionize specific industries" to "this will be a fun hobby for eccentrics"

For context the NEH - the one those young DOFE dipshits wrecked to “cut the deficit” and eliminate DEI - had a budget of about $200 million. You could fund literally 1,000 new National Endowments for the Humanities instead of this pointless war

I would’ve been happy with several films that could have won;the one about liberating ice camps,mowing down white supremacists,kidnapping CEOs,hiding people from fascist government, or even the one about making Kevin O’Leary really angry. The point is go out and manifest the lessons of these films

as bad as that film was, good reminder that lots of people worked hard on it and got paychecks. most of our jobs are in service of something bad and its not our fault either
