In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

Real unemployment numbers are assuredly higher than what this report has shared: "Of the more than 7 million unemployed people in the country, nearly 2 million have been out of work for six months or more." I would really like to know what those true numbers are as people get left behind.

Reading Brianna Nofil’s fantastic book “The Migrant Jail” & this is what she has to say about immigration detention already in the first half of the 20th century

Towns and cities throughout the United States recognized detained migrants as a racialized source of financial capital; working with the immigration service became a way to bankroll carceral expansion without requiring the approval (or even the tax dollars) of voters.

Ms Rachel from the top ropes

From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

Notice how political/media elites say every instance of political violence puts us "on a slippery slope" but no matter how many times it happens they never say we've actually crossed the line? It's the same as how they keep saying we're "on the brink" of fascism. We're not. We're there. Right now.

"What is a Mara?" Well I'm glad nobody asked. Imagine if a capybara was built like a hare and looked like a deer when walking

An image of a patagonian Mara, a rodent with a face like a capybara and a body with long, slim front legs like a hare. It's body is kinda chunky but not as much as a capy an it's back feet are 2 (maybe 3) times bigger than its front feet

A patagonian Mara walking, it's body is sleek like a deer

You cannot leave prison without a documented place to stay, a job or rehabilitation program lined up, and someone to come and pick you up. There was one woman we met who was there for 2 EXTRA years at the state prison cause she had no living family and simply couldnt get a ride

I keep trying to think of any historical example where a given technology's PROMOTERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS were like 'we are absolutely going to ruin your fucking life so be prepared like it's the end of the world'

Andrew Curran: Axios is reporting that the top labs are wargaming scenarios for the aftermath of a catastrophic event in the next 6 - 12 months, that some executives now see as being inevitable.

Axios: Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAl and other Al companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.

Edouard Harris: This is our view as well. Relatedly, average people will want to increase their level of personal resilience and preparedness as their resources allow. We will be publishing about this soon.

Nick Farina: Best ways to be prepared? Generators, water, books and DVDs?

Edouard Harris: Power, water, food, sanitation for most part. Parts of this depend on your geo latitude - solar vs propane for eg.

But also: set aside a computer that is not (and ideally has never been) connected to the internet. Buy faraday pouches and tape. Print out essential docs on paper.
