If you take the negative stereotypes of a culture, mash them all up into something but give it a fake name and say it's a "fake made up country", it doesn't make it less racist to that culture.

I'm kinda curious what happened here....

Everyone who worked at this camp should go to prison.

This is a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

Listening to this in the car this morning on the way to work. It might sound funny to non-artists, but it's kinda strange to consume your own work after you get a bit of distance from it...and it's nice to know that I really *like* listening to it :)

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Since the FCC prohibited Steven Colbert to air on TV his interview with democrat Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, here is the interview... Make it the most viral internet rebuke to the Pedo in Chief and CBS

I rode an elevator with Roger Zelazny at a con. It was me and my friend, and he had an Alien face hugger wrapped around his neck, and Zelazny looked at us and said, ‘That’s a hell of a monkey to have on your back.’ I’ve had other celebrity interactions, but that’s my favorite.

Finally, a holiday that excludes orphans

This this this this.

civil society and right groups orgs that often keep a tab on and organise campaigns against these evil corporations are overstretched and underfunded. this internal memo from Meta is insidious and sickening

"More power and control" of what? To who's benefit? See, these are the questions nobody asks, but are essential. Who benefits from these regulations? In this case, removing them makes the wealthy wealthier, and the poor more sick.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So: In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

Dear freelance artists who worry about charging too much: I work on a TV show that outsources incredibly simple graphic printing because we have too much to do in house. I've seen the purchase orders - You are not charging too much.

As someone who has written a couple of books on this issue, a lot of people ask me about this and the one thing I've found is that most folks do not understand the sheer scale of what will happen IF (and I'm saying IF) they get AI to work. Self-driving cars alone will wipe out MILLIONS of jobs.

Hey fun fact my husband posted this how to flyer to Reddit, he's a dreamboat and I love him and ALSO HE'S RIGHT FUCK THIS SHIT RETURN YOUR RING CAMERA Stick it to ICE and Amazon at the same time 🥰💛

Age verification? This was what a "hand held game system" looked like when I was a kid.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Jeez, we get more cyberpunk every day.

That Ring cameras can be pressganged like this is legitimately terrifying.

I honestly found out who was playing in the Superbowl this morning, so clearly, I don't really care...but as a former New Yorker who had to work in Boston during a previous Superbowl... Fuck the Patriots.

The "Uppers" will say that the good thing about being a servant is "there is less responsibility." That is absolute horseshit. *MEANINGFUL* responsibility is both accountability and consequences.

Nice to know that the current president depicting the first Black President and First Lady as gorillas isn't considered "something today that actually matters to the American public." But hey - since KKKaroline suggested it... www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato. Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."

Everything about this photo. From the store’s name, to it being abandoned, and the neon sign in the reflection that reads “GUNS”

The AI story is being used to cover up the mismangament of the global economy. The United States was the global clearinghouse for legitimizing transnational financial transactions; we started using that as a weapon; the other countries started building alternative enforcement institutions.

My co-workers: "Laws are there to stop people from doing things!" Me: "Do you speed when you drive?" Them: "All the time!" Me (internally): I feel like Phoebe talking to Joey.
