The return to Jim Crow is already starting. This is akin to Texas immediately implementing a new voter ID law that allowed someone to vote with a gun permit but not a student ID hours after Shelby County decision

Congratulations to our friends at Housemarque on the launch of SAROS today!

get in loser we're getting Reconstruction right this time

The basic view of Alito and the rest of the Roberts Court when it comes to voting rights is that black people can vote for anyone they want as long as it is a Republican.

This didn’t happen

This is literally establishing a second special code of law just for Alex Jones so he can do whatever he wants. What the fuck are we doing? How the fuck is this allowed?

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

1/People always ask me: when the Supreme Court creates bad law what do you do? Well, we can start with amending the Constitution. Between 1909 and 1920, we amended the Constitution, 4 times. We have not amended the Constitution since 1971. We might want to figure out some new amendments.

The messaging in this election is so easy even the Democrats could do it

McCloud don’t miss

From Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" (saw @ironspike.bsky.social post a snippet and wanted to post the whole thing)

Call me a cracky, but offer remote roles, stop expecting workers to relocate when the industry is so volitile and unstable, and QA should be getting paid more than minimum wage 🫨

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

So, turns out I was attempting to teach myself to code incorrectly for years. And when I figured that out, it suddenly got a lot easier. This video was pretty instrumental in helping to fix that, so I'm passing it along. www.youtube.com/watch?v=azcr...

Obama: "Today's Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to … systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of 'partisanship' rather than explicit 'racial bias.'"

So I'm just chatting about something else and thinking about this again. When people ask me how I make Bsky work (or anything really), I tell them: you need to engage with people. And they go oh ok, and then... don't do that? Like they say they understand, but at their core, they don't. 🧵

"I only use AI for the concept art and prototyping" OH, so only the most basic and fundamental parts, the parts that will literally determine the direction of everything else, just THOSE parts, cool, gotcha

Uh-oh, it looks like you pivoted your million dollar business to focus on the burgeoning "piece of delicious cheese under a cardboard box held up with a stick with a string tied to it" industry www.gamedeveloper.com/production/g...

Hard to get a good photo of my physical copy, but i found a digital version with the text intact

Supreme Court Overturns ‘Right v. Wrong’ https://theonion.com/supreme-court-overturns-right-v-wrong-1819573211/

Damn, so many job rejections today that many them just cut off prematurely from the copy/paste script. Guess that's a new experience...?

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

i feel so bad for my tech friends who are literally being forced to use ai to code :/ artists have it bad but this shit is messed up

standing ovation after King Charles sings the praises of NATO and says "that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine"

It's 1% per year for 5 years you leech. Nothing in your life would change in the slightest.

Forgive me if I'm horrified and have zero trust this won't result in terrible consequences/enshitification. I'm sorry, but these companies are cancer and that's *not a new development*, so you can't be surprised by the reaction.

If anybody got one'a those uncles who works for Nintendo, see if they can get me in on the Metroid movie 🆗👍

Nearly half of surveyed writers worry that their words are being mistaken for AI. Now, AI companies think they have the solution… with even more AI. 🙄 Don't buy it. Tech companies trying to pass off AI content as human does harm to writers. Some real creatives shared with us their frustrations—

W/O downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

you are creating a culture of violence against us by accurately reporting on the culture of violence we're gleefully inflicting on others

You are being robbed, America.

you're gonna have to be more specific

You wanna know why these AI guys always go on and on about democratizing art or whatever? It's because they can't conceive of caring enough about the thing to put yourself through the hard work of making it. People think the work is the obstacle, but it's what gives it meaning

@faultyfriday.bsky.social made an INCREDIBLE intro to Blender video. So if you were waiting for a cool Vtuber to walk you thru the ui and helpful basics, BUDDY THIS IS FOR YOU! youtu.be/6ryqdRMsKnM

you just can't be the party of Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Pete Hegseth and get away with this weepy nonsense. first cast out the beam out of thine own eye bitch

a reminder that wholesale copying artistic photography for a painting is often still plagiarism, even though it’s two different mediums

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

Thanks @xppen-uk.bsky.social for letting me test out your new tablet Artist 16 3rd🙏 Fantastic tablet overall ❤️‍🔥 Pros: 🔥 Built-in buttons and sliders 👌 One USB-C cable only ✨ Thin, light and sturdy 😎 Great pen and screen as always Cons: 👉No touch screen. But hey, for that price😅

This was, in all seriousness, the point of the Harper’s Letter

"The guidance calls for standardized contracts, fair pay and stronger labor protections. Platforms must also increase transparency, consult worker representatives, submit algorithms for review and tighten regulatory scrutiny over core operating models."

Storytelling has the power to drive meaningful change. That's why we created Know Your Rights University, our new series that provides critical civil liberties lessons that are fun for the whole family.

Oh wow really

My polite and effective way of saying this is this screenshot and a heavy handed but gentle stare at…quite a few of you.
