The richest 0.1 percent of the global population are hiding nearly $3 trillion in offshore accounts to evade taxes — more than the wealth held by the entire bottom half of humanity. It would take about $93 billion per year to eradicate extreme hunger by 2030. Taxing the rich is a global necessity.

I hate this so, so much because it starts from a premise that we're the ones that have to fix an issue that these companies created. No, fuck off, you broke the world, so you fucking label your fucking slop!

when i see liberals going "harumph! why should we dumb things down?" it hurts my soul. i dont care about taking the high road. the high road is kerry and gore and harris losing to fascists. if it takes a laser show and bread and circuses to save democracy, grab the clown shoes and some dough.

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

Trans Day of Visibility is tomorrow. #TDOV #ProtectTheDolls

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

END THIS STUPID WAR. REGULATE AI. IMPEACH THE ENTIRE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. EPSTEIN. LET'S PROSECUTE SOME CHILD MOLESTERS. CLEAN AIR, CLEAN WATER, CLEAN FOOD FOR ALL.

Y'all spread this far and wide. It's our chance to get the payment processors to fuck off with affecting the livelihood of artists.

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

Man. The world fucking is on fire. So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people. Live whats left of your only life. If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul. Fuck the haters.

Oh shit, it's just occurred to me that the PRECISE HUMAN PERSON I want to see playing the Discworld TTRPG is Brennan Lee Mulligan. No stats! No numbers! Just words, and bending words to your will!

Over 400 scientists have signed a letter calling for a moratorium on the deployment of age-verification technologies. The letter suggests the widespread deployment of untested AV tech is making the internet less safe. www.politico.eu/article/age-...

After 12 years, UCA comes to a close as a regular feature. Luckily we end this one on a high note as we feed two classic Creepypasta through multiple languages and get very silly results. It’s been a good run, but it’s time to move on. youtu.be/bd8i73jVUdI?...

Nonbasic lands will be Mountains.

I hate that we are living in times where it feels the only thing we can do is triage those affected. Where charity is the only weapon against the worst people in the world. But if you can fix something for someone today, please do it. A lot of folks are asking for help, maybe throw them some.

I’ve played this RPG myself with a couple friends awhile ago and can vouch for how goofy and fun it can be. Good to hear others picking it up!

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

This is not us misunderstanding them; even if only 1% of their userbase risks identity theft and compromise from leaky partners, that number is too high. More pressure. No nitro. No compromise. Do not stop until this rollout is entirely cancelled. They "hear" us, but they must LISTEN to us.

Official ranking of “Friends” characters I’d want as my D&D players: 🧵

every shot-on-video, made-with-a-camcorder horror movie that's just some teenage friend group fucking around in the woods with some fake blood and a monster mask contains more artistic merit, human joy and creative light than anything AI has ever made or will ever, ever make

I'm not even kidding about this. This is a really fucking good idea.

A very good point. While calling out corporations is important, our government is trying to force av laws like KOSA and SCREEN on EVERYONE under the guise of "protecting kids". Call your reps + tell them to OPPOSE these bad bills. #SaveSpeech #Stopageverification #StopKOSA 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...

Mind you this is no backtrack, they are just gaslighting you into thinking this won't affect you and the people you care. Tumblr, Google, Facebook all these tech fuckers said the same and look where we are right now. No more giving the tech industry an inch.

They just want to make everything worse. They want us to die from diseases that could eradicated. They want dirty food and air and water. They want increased child mortality. They want a more unsafe, disgusting, hateful world. And the corporate press is like “but that’s a valid perspective tho?”

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

Rep. Ro Khanna is a fiery torch in this bleak moral darkness.

Okay. Check this out. At last, a solid sign of potent resistance in the USA. "A monthlong national economic strike, a coordinated campaign that targets tech and AI companies and inflicts maximum damage with minimum impact on consumers" www.profgalloway.com/resist-and-u...

I wish folks would stop saying “AI art”. When you say that, you’re buying into (or at the very least, adding to) the propaganda that it can make art. It can’t. It’s output, not art.

Delaying this to 7 PM. Still happening! Shemp Lives!

I’ll be co-writing this goofy series as we get further in. Enjoy. youtu.be/9dP0jfgIsk4?...

I always mean you. If you use LLMs in any capacity you are not welcome in my audience and I do not make art for you. Learn to be a better person.

Haha what if once every two weeks on twitch.tv/creativehorrorstreams I started streaming something like, I dunno STARFIELD as the new adventures of Shemp. That’d be crazy. Especially if the first time I did it was like, January 25th at around 6 PM CT. That’d be NUTS.

Once again, I’m stating how good The Last Jedi is.

Little late posting this, but as we’re sunsetting UCA as a regular feature, I wanted to give due diligence. This episode is a particularly unhinged ending to a very long saga, and mirth and misery abound. youtu.be/_l2lncoQz40?...

I am READY.

Weird Al lied to me: I finally made it to Albuquerque and the air does not, in fact, smell like warm root beer. I cannot verify how fluffy the towels are either, nor if I can get my back shaved for nickel. I was surprised by how nice the fall colors were though.

It's our longest episode ever, but it's also the weirdest one we've ever made. Listen to "Broadswords & Buddies #57: The Finale - Part 3" in your podcasting app!

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.
