Resistance libs welcomed South Park into the anti-Trump fold with open arms. Our founder Evan Urquhart was a bit less joyous to see the anti-woke edgelords of South Park recognize, at last, the dreadful pandora's box that widespread anti-wokeness opened up.

I've always found the abandoned corporate artwork that dots Silicon Valley to be extremely interesting as a cultural artifact of the companies that installed it. So I decided to start documenting what's out there.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

This is the exact same sort of thinking behind the old "I'm not racist, I don't see color" chestnut. It's exclusionary language and dismisses the lived experience of the minority group being oppressed.

By the way, Jeff Bezos, you fucking pathetic coward: Zohran Mamdani got the pragmatic things he needed to get as a leader without ever submitting to the likes of MBS and disrespecting the memory of Khashoggi and every journalist in America.

If you listen to Silicon Valley types talk about AI platforms, they’re obsessed with discussing whether it’s “uncensored” or not; what they’re talking about is whether they can make nonconsensual porn, not all of which is from images of people who are adults. Musk is moving Grok that way rapidly.

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.
