trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

The tyranny of Zohran Mamdani using tax dollars to provide services benefitting the people paying taxes chill me to the bone and demonstrate the rank selfishness of his political project, “we pay the taxes so we should get something out of it” Self-absorbed egotism, that’s all it is.

My taxes are going to murder school children overseas and to let pardoned insurrectionist pedophiles get their hush money payoffs to victims, meanwhile, the papers of record want to let me know the real danger is the guy who taxes second homes in Manhattan to balance budgets and feed hungry kids.

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

Scott Galloway recently told Derek Thompson on his podcast that childbirth is “disgusting” and “unnatural” for dads. I’ve studied fathers' experience of childbirth in my lab for years, and I think Galloway is wrong. darbysaxbe.substack.com/p/scott-gall...

I have never in my entire design career been given the latitude to suck as hard as AI does at basic visuals. It's wild that the same companies that will belittle humans over the wrong shades of blue will also just say, "YOLO, post it" when the magical mediocrity bot makes things.

One of the more profound lessons I learned during my time teaching was how cruel and senseless our immigration system is. I am absolutely aghast to read that someone had those same experiences, saw that same heartbreak, and then refers to those kids and families as "collaterals". Fucking monster.
"Danielle is analytical. The public deserves to know who their law enforcement officers are, she says. But there is no escaping the current reality, in which many members of the public don't trust ICE, and ICE doesn't trust them.

They hear the rage firsthand, slurs they say aren't true.

Fascists. Nazis. Cowards.

Before she became a federal worker, Danielle taught in a Kansas City high school, in a classroom where some students had undocumented parents or were undocumented themselves. She saw the trauma children suffered when a parent was deported. Still, in her view, the law is the law.

"There are collaterals," she said. "We are going after people who are in the system, who have a criminal history, who you don't want on the street, whether they are here illegally or not.""

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

We're just going to keep having pilot projects like this until capitalism eventually falls. Giving houses to the homeless is cheaper than anything else. Giving people healthcare is cheaper than not. Giving people basic income is cheaper than not. Taking care of society is financially prudent.
