In the absence of any meaningful regulation, this registry by RSL Media (non-profit co-founded by Cate Blanchett and RSL) is a useful tool to at least declare and protect one’s own likeness in the face of AI. Worth a look: registry.rslmedia.org

When the weather gets hot, please take special care for the goths in your life. With their floor-length coats, platform shoes, and velvet capes, it’s hard for them to thermoregulate as we do.

They should let people bid on knocking his name off buildings. Imagine how much we could raise to fix everything DOGE broke! Bring back USAID.

Gray rocking a narcissist is now a political skill set.

anytime a candidate is claiming theyyYyyyYYYyyyYy are doing this to me, there’s nothing good where that came from

Lemme explain what the words BELIEVE WOMEN should mean. They don't mean you have to believe women no matter what. They do mean that you have to treat women as a source the same way you'd treat a man.

Reclaim your attention and time. My goodness

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

Fund schools, universities, public infrastructure. Pay/fund experts: writers, artists, editors, educators. Don't let Silicon Valley diminish the category of the human: what most people can learn; what experts can do; what people enjoy. Don't enable the worst futures. My latest on this: 2/

“Organizing, editing, and brainstorming are part of writing-while-human. They can be hard, even scary, but that doesn’t mean they could or should be done by machines.” An excellent argument for not using genAI by Dr Surekha Davies. Well worth a read.

One of my hardest-won political lessons is that it’s never, ever worth it to treat ppl as ~indispensable no matter what they do~ —bc we *see* the contributions & potential of the abusive men & we don’t get to see that in the women they drive out. We never actually get to know what we’ve squandered

oh for the love of exhibit 39248320 why when someone has a Nazi tattoo, you don't need to wait and see what else is behind the tattoo!

A gentle reminder: “Reading to children, even before they can understand words, teaches them to associate books with love and affection.” (Princeton Book Review)

ok but miss-CHEE-vee-us sounds funnier lol www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/10-w... #words #language

Think of how much effort, individually, is required to drag someone out of the atrophied creativity that genAI induces, and how when this scales to a societal level it's pretty much guaranteed to take generations to recover from.

A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Suraj has a point.

“she was helpless in the face of strangers’ projections. “Good actors are essentially good liars,” she wrote. “I raise my eyebrows, you think I’m sexy. I dart my eyes, you think I’m smart.” www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

It’s so cute that there are expiration dates on boxes of Girl Scout cookies as if that information would ever be relevant to me.

happy father’s day to all the good ones, the kind fathers, supportive partners! 🙏🏻🌷👏🏻

Now this is a story all about how My trip got flipped — turned upside down, And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, To tell you how I found a plinth of the king, ye mighty: despair!

Life magazine sent GORDON PARKS, its first African-American staff photographer, to the deepest South in the mid-50’s to document segregation during the Jim Crow era. His photographs helped inspire the Civil Rights Movement. Segregated Drinking Fountain - Mobile, Alabama (1956)

This is happening in roughly 24 hours. I hope y'all can join me. It's going to be fun.

here's an idea to pump some cash into the economy and some ridership into amtrak: open an amtrak stop right at enchanted forest. like possibly WITHIN enchanted forest. i don't care how far away the lines are, move 'em

NPR’s Code Switch delves into what it takes for people of color to feel safe outdoors, the racist history of what it means to be a Black person outside, and why that complicates people's relationship today to the outdoors.

Huh, you mean governments can step in and protect their people from the tech broligarchy's worst impulses?

Why doesn’t everyone sane just disengage with X. It would disintegrate

June is an important month for Paris - you've got the June Days of 1848, the Mountain's 1849 insurrection, the June Rebellion of 1832, Louis getting redcapped, and the more-or-less recognized beginning of the French Resistance, to name a few. So, since it's June, here're some Paris drawings! (🧵)

I don't know. I guess I'm too paranoid to ever use AI. Why would I trust something designed to steal from me and poison my community to ever treat me with care?

In countries that have successfully reversed democratic backsliding in recent years—from Poland in 2023 to Hungary in 2026—opposition movements made prosecuting those who have broken laws a central campaign issue.

I will take this win. And if it means what it says, the planned Roxbury, NJ detention facility that activists have been fighting tooth and nail to stop is now OFF THE LIST. That is a massive victory. And PS. NONE of this would have been possible without what just happened at Delaney Hall.

At the Reflecting Pool, and guys, this doesn't look right.

Tonight, in Oxford Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox addressed an empty chamber at almost midnight. This happened because Oxford residents, ordinary residents, showed up in their thousands to make clear that Oxford rejects the racist and divisive bile that Robinson and his ilk spread.

Proof that direct action works - I’m proud we have prevented a racist get the audience, the attention and the glory he craves tonight. Get organised + let’s protest with purpose!

I know in the grand scheme of things, this is a teeny tiny dot, but as a newbie in #photography, I woke up today to discover that this photo I took was selected to showcase on Explore on Flickr. Had no idea what that meant, but think it’s a good thing! Really chuffed 😬

I absolutely HATE marketing my work, it makes me feel a bit grubby but the market is SO sluggish for Clare & I (& everyone else I’m sure). Clowns starting wars on a whim are to blame I think ( & AI) meanwhile we have to pay the bills, eat, travel, survive. Buy from artists, they’ll appreciate it 🙏🏻

Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

The most extreme drinkers I have encountered were in Portland, Oregon. And they don't drink wine or beer, it's all weird mixed drinks like my parents' generation liked, like "singapore sling".

He's back 😄 #archaeohistories
