I imagine what happened was people said "You remind me of that guy in that movie who killed people just for fun" and he took it to mean a physical resemblance. Also, he seems to not realize that maybe they meant Christian Bale. Ya know, the actual human in the picture. But the first one is correct.

This Saturday, millions of people around the US will gather for the No Kings demonstrations. It's a good opportunity to propose more concrete forms of resistance. One thing you could do is set up a table distributing zines and other literature. You can find some here: crimethinc.com/NoKingsMarch

OpenAI kills their Sora Video generator. Which isn't that surprising TBH: - it is massively expensive to run - the results were not that usable - it was a lawsuit generator

They told you it was inevitable. It’s not. It never was. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

In an interview today, former Border Patrol "Commander at Large" Gregory Bovino confirms that DHS is serious about deporting "100 million people." Over a quarter of the US population. If you're reading this in the US, that means they intend to deport *you.* Abolish DHS — before they abolish you.

Gavin Newsom is a piece of shit. He will sometimes trick you into thinking he is not a piece of shit. Please don’t fall for it. He will always regress back to his true self; which is being a piece of shit. TL;DR: Newsom is a piece of shit.

“No one should feel afraid to get the medical care that they need.”

"A good GM can make any game work" - trite, thought terminating cliche, simplistic "A well designed game is fun even when you aren't very good at it" - actually useful design advice.

Don’t stuff your alt text with keywords without context. If your alt text is just a collection of keywords, it will just sound like a gibberish string. It won’t describe what’s actually in the image, and won't help a blind user get a context or content of the image.

Spending 3 to 5 USD for every USD you make is not exactly what I'd consider good business.

Any use of genAI always reads to me like: “We just used a little bit of shit in our cake because we couldn’t afford chocolate.”

over at the newsletter I wrote about Mark Zuckerberg

crimethinc.com/breakicetour In April, anarchists from the Twin Cities who have participated in resisting ICE will travel the country sharing their experiences: what they have learned from building rapid response networks, how Minnesota thwarted Operation Metro Surge, and how to defeat fascism. 🧵⬇️

When writing alt text, you don't necessarily need to say "image of" for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify the type of image. Is it a hand-drawn image? Polaroid? Screenshot? Chart? These are details that help.

Sharing a meme on social media? Don't forget to include alt text! This resource from Veronica With Four Eyes (Veronica Lewis) will help you. veroniiiica.com/2018/11/29/h...

In charts and data visualizations, avoid overwhelming people with information. Keep the design simple and clear. Avoid animations as they can be distracting and disorienting. If you must include some type of movement or animation, provide a way for people to turn it off.

Love your work, @propublica.org! But, there's no ProPublica journalism without journalists! Pay your workers 21st century level salaries + benefits. With $98 million stashed in the bank, you can afford it! ProPublica takes in $18 million/year more in donations than expenses! @propublicaguild.org

Robert Mueller has died. During the first Trump administration, the Mueller investigation represented the centrist fantasy that the so-called Justice Department could halt the slide into fascism. In fact, the anticipated reckoning, dubbed "Mueller Time," never arrived. It really is up to us. 🧵⬇️

"The cruelest thing the tech industry ever did was to tell you that they cared about you." That goes for every employer. They hired you to get more out of your labor than they pay you. Anything else is a lie.

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

Deeply weird seeing arguments about Lenin and nobody making the actual coherent leftist argument that by destroying the autonomy of the Soviets as democratic workers councils and installing state and party as the foundational building blocks of the USSR he forever Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Great thread. Not sure if anyone following me needs convinced re: bans, but these are really good talking points.

ACAB includes that dude in the well from the "yet you live in society" meme, and every one of us who echoes him.

Companies are realizing that pushing people to using "AI" is expensive (even at the subsidized pricing going on right now) Companies go full AI — then the bill comes due

The ProPublica union has voted to authorize a strike. Around 150 journalists, videographers, copy editors and more voted to authorize, with 92% of the union voting yes. ProPublica allegedly rejected restrictions on replacing jobs with AI, and hasn't met other union concerns.

If you don't think this is true, look up what happened in the Prairieland case. It's important. And don't take any phones or smart devices with you next Saturday!

The Bush administration pretended to be delivering “democracy” to Iraq. Trump's militarists promote depraved violence as an end in itself—declaring that the only purpose of their wars is to kill people and pillage resources. Should you kill or die to gratify the egos of such men? No. No one should.

But if they do in fact spot me I got this sharp chrysknife in my hand

Not a double life, and that part between the commas in the headline is ultimately describing arrest.

Giving Baldwin OR Whedon any more money or fame is unthinkable. But both? Hell no.

The Israeli military is among the most sophisticated in the world. If they are continuously killing children in Lebanon, it must be intentional. They are doing this for the same reason that they killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza: they are using genocide to seize as much land as possible.

Does anyone else think that the Pillars of Creation look like a 3 fingered hand, or is it just me?

The womanhood understander conference

DID YOU KNOW? The Joke Ginger cited a 15 year old blog post in his antisemetic dogwhistle? Hope the $1500 check cleared before you posted this, bigot

After making the "Largest Deportation Program in American History" core to the 2024 Republican Party platform, the Trump administration wants us to forget about ICE so they can kidnap, brutalize, and murder without making headlines. They are trying to rebrand DHS under Markwayne Mullin to that end.

According to their spokesperson, LPD didn't have the authority to make the arrests. And also that they didn't do anything outside of their authority, somehow. ACAB for damn good reason.

💯💯💯 Stardew Valley over here clocking 50 million sales with SNES-tier graphics and these people are STILL trying to sell me visible pores and individual eyelashes like I ever asked for any of that.

Audre Lorde's "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." is not just a statement about a tool being tainted by its origin. It's about what kind of tool a "master" would create: Whips. Chains. Violence.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s mom, a former law professor, has been asked to please stop filing documents on her son’s behalf in regards to his motion for a retrial (where he is supposedly representing himself)

Anyone under 45 who doesn't know where "woke" came from was a loser when they were 20. Nobody liked them then either

The regime will seem invincible until the day before it collapses.

General reminder that your local cops also do this to women they've arrested. Like, all the time, in fact! Turns out giving men a gun and a uniform and ultimate authority over others tends to enable bad behavior, who knew

Happy 26+6 Day. y'all

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

That this guy says "the weirdness of walking around with the ability to record people around you — sometimes passively" when it's actually not a weirdness. It's an objectively immoral thing to even contemplate. I guess I'm never hanging around anyone wearing any thing that looks like these things.

It'd be really cool if there was a manufacturer of GPUs that didn't bear hug the Bullshit Plagiarism Machines. Guess I won't upgrade my old 1660 even if I can afford it

No Kings, No Masters On March 28, millions of people around the country will participate in the third day of No Kings rallies. We are calling on everyone to engage with these rallies as an opportunity to build towards more concrete forms of organizing and action. Choose from an array of options:

The best comic you've never heard of. www.youtube.com/shorts/UzICY...

The beginning of literature. Gilgamesh is constantly evaluating himself. How he can be so confidently and abjectly wrong is baffling.
