This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

The families who fled lost their land and generational wealth forever. Catcher became an all-white "sundown town" for decades. Do you see the pattern? History often forgets these events, but remembering the truth of 1923 is essential. #KeepItWoke #DedicatedToTam✡️🕊 www.4029tv.com/article/catc...

In 1923, the death of a white woman sparked racial tension that led to the dismantling of Catcher, Arkansas.

Fuel Price Crisis Strikes Gas Stations Amid Trumps Controversial Legacy
In California, diesel prices have surged to alarming levels, with some gas stations unable to display costs beyond $9.99 per gallon. This spike has thrust the energy crisis into the national spotlight and reignited public ire toward President Trump. The situation has escalated dramatically, with average diesel costs across the U.S. reaching a record high of $6.06 per gallon, a substantial increase from $5.85 just a week prior and a staggering leap from $3.71 a year ago.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

The challenge as I see it: 1) making sure the election isn’t stolen; 2) cementing this unpopularity not as a unique Trump feature, but as an intrinsic part of the Republican brand. Republicans must be made equal to failure, corruption, incompetence, cruelty, and authoritarianism in the public mind.

This is so fucking invasive and creepy and police statey jesus fucking christ This doesn’t just police children, this tracks and polices everyone and hands ALL of our information over to mysterious “third parties”.
The regulations released Tuesday require large social media platforms to use third-party systems to document age. Government identification documents can be used, but aren't required, according to the regulations.
It's still relatively easy to determine whether an Internet user is over 18, said Andy Lulham, chief operating officer of Verifymy, which offers age-verification services. His company does so by scanning someone's face or simply taking in their email address.
"It's got nothing to do with the email account or your emails," he explained. "But it can analyze where that email address was previously used. ... So it could be compared on a database where there are mortgage
providers or credit card companies or utility providers, and it can build an age profile or a minimum estimated age of the user."
