Boycott Uline.

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

Worst crossover ever: The Feebles Christmas Carol

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Maybe another

IMPORTANT NEWS RE: ANTHROPIC AI SETTLEMENT According to PW, the Authors Guild is collecting information from authors whose publishers failed to register their books with the U.S. Copyright Office, and who believe they were excluded from the class action settlement as a result. (1/2)

I think about this often

another quiet night in gotham. they fixed the bank. theres no way its going to happen again

The dangers of this "AI" tech is not sentience because this shit can't even give accurate information on not to eat rocks. The problem is the environmental destruction, the mental health destruction, to the greedy billionaire power grab. It's not Terminator, it's way more pathetic & stupid.

Ultimately, there is more to success than just chasing popular trends. If you take a follow-the-pack mentality, you’ll always be outclassed by people who *genuinely and sincerely* LIKE the trend you’re trying to chase and your voice will get lost in an ocean of other marketable trend chasers

For anyone interested, I just started a petition to get anything created using generative AI disqualified from Eisner Award consideration moving forward. Please consider signing and sharing. www.change.org/no-ai-at-the...

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

Ahead of our release this coming Wednesday--05/20--enjoy a preview of SEVEN WIVES #1! The 40-page debut issue (for only $4.99) from me, @wyrmsfornerves.bsky.social, Maria Keane, Antonio Del Hoyo, Brian Kolek and @rileysauruss.bsky.social has gotten RAVE reviews and you don't want to miss it!

If you're a writer, write "I waited" without saying it. Took two paracetamol, now they only need to do their magic. Can't take long. Any moment now. Still nothing. Isn't tempus supposed to fugit? Ugh. That damn headache. Maybe I should take more? No? When did I take them? Just 2 minutes ago?

Give me your favorite Non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor. Leonard Nimoy in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Paramount and Warner Bros are heading towards a dangerous merger, monopolizing all our media as we know it. ✋ CODEPINK, along with thousands of filmmakers, actors, and industry workers, says #BlockTheMerger! Add your voice here! @codepink www.codepink.org/blockthemerg...

🧵just adding: after the '93 WTC attack they were told to put the command center underground in Brooklyn. When Giuliani became mayor, he insisted it be at WTC. After 9/11 it was moved to a location underground in Brooklyn.

Me, trying to be normal

In Time, that weird sci-fi Bonnie & Clyde pastiche starring Amanda Seyfried and Justin Timberlake. The world they built for that movie was far too rich to be wasted on one single story.

"Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence software, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people without their consent, despite his company’s pledge months ago to halt abusive deepfakes after a public backlash and government investigations." @davidingram.bsky.social keeping tabs:

Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.

1 Nowadays, everybody wanna talk Like they got something to say. 2 But nothing comes out when they move their lips, Just a bunch of gibberish. 3 Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre.

It’s fucking bizarre how people are acting like something from 2022 is something they can’t live without. Like dudes, the emotional dependence on a sycophantic machine regurgitating nonsense to encourage you to stop engaging in critical thought and trust the slop is truly depressing to witness.

Trump: "Effective immediately, the US Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz...Additionally & at an appropriate moment, we are fully 'LOCKED AND LOADED,' & our Military will finish up little that is left of Iran!"

I regret to inform y'all that Hans Zimmer fuckin sucks.

Games like darts, billiards, bowling and chess completely give away what's going on. The ONLY reason to segregate these sports by sex in the first place is because men cannot emotionally handle losing to women. The ONLY reason to lock out trans people is bigotry.

Working on next week’s free newsletter: I will never respect a website.

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work* Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization. Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do? Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Jesus wept. I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence. Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi

Here's the number for the congressional switchboard. Please call your reps and senators. This man needs to be removed from office now. (202) 224-3121
