Read bad art. Write bad art. Critique bad art.

Back in SF and suffering from a fatal overdose of AI billboards

The rats don’t run this city, we do!

it's inherent in the idea of popular front against fascism that it has room for trans people, racial and religious minorities, socialists, etc. the biggest obstacle to building such a front right now is the fraction of dems who are insistent that various minorities simply have to eat shit to win

I've seen people say things like "our troops weren't designed to be used on US!!!" and look, I totally understand, I agree in some ways, but I really, really hope that if you feel that way you spend time thinking about the fact that there's no such thing as a weapon that can't be pointed at you.

More importantly: People need food every single day. Supporting your local food pantry can save lives, especially now when so many more people need them...

I’ll add my frustration that people who rely on LLMs for communication are pushing the cognitive load of crafting an informative message onto their audience, who has to figure out what the fuck you were trying to say, and whether you had anything to say at all.

all transphobes deserve the gentle embrace of a bear trap

Sorry, didn’t we already not elect this guy?

Scrolled by real fast and thought this was a promo for the anniversary tour of Dear Evan Hansen.

ME: *reading the bad news website all day* we're doomed. there's no way to come back from this ME: *11:10 pm two beers three tacos deep watching a 65 year old Black woman in a Sunday dress absolutely rock out to a dad band covering Queen Bitch* america is an idea. and a feeling in the heart.

It appears the right candidate for Dems to run in Lincoln Nebraska is somewhere just to the left of AOC

Reading old Bechdel comics and realizing that nothing ever changes, but in a good way maybe

Picked up an anthology of Dykes To Watch Out For and wow does this hit close to home. #comics

a lot of these guys really envision a future where technology relieves us of the burden of human experience

One thing I learned this last couple years is that I’m harder to kill than I previous assumed

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

More of Barb, the butch catfish. #art #animation #sapphicart

Substack sent a push alert to users not just of a Nazi sub but one that uses a swastika for its icon and people are still writing about the discoverability on the platform being hard to replace - I mean what are we even doing here

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

It’s a simple dream. A cat and a catfish united by their mutual love of 🐱 #art #animation #sapphicart #queerart

Time to get loud and annoying folks 🗣️🗣️🗣️

a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark

Genuinely wondering what emotional need this behavior fulfills. Why ask chatgpt to order you a drink when there’s a menu in front of you?

i really want us, collectively, to understand that chat format LLMs cannot assess their own behavior. if you ask it what it did, it will construct a likely response to your query and that is all. "why did you do this" is projection. even accusing them of "lying" is projection.

they should invent an industry that isn't actively collapsing

Catholicism is so back

That’s an egregore.

A man coughing up blood. Men zip-tied face down on a wet floor. CCTV turned off. Men forced to eat off of a chair like animals while handcuffed. Solitary confinement if you complain. This is just three paragraphs from a new report.

Read my latest:

I increasingly believe that our political misery is the result of leaders who don’t enjoy the act of living and lack the imagination to believe they could.

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

"A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore a computer must never make a management decision."

Hey guys, so remember how I wrote about the four stages of how P25 and Republicans want to enact anti-trans censorship? This signals that we have FULLY entered Stage Two: We lose the trans internet. Stage One is over - they've already gotten there. Please pay attention to this now.

If you haven’t already, now is a great time to start not supporting Gavin Newsome for president

my entire politics rn is informed by the belief that, even if trump fails to finish consolidating power, doesn’t build a bunch of camps, and leaves office peacefully, we would still eventually get all the worst outcomes, absent a dedicated effort to dismantle fascist tools and punish the fascists

We know too well the devastating consequences of such action—families torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, and multigenerational trauma inflicted on a community for decades. #AlligatorAlcatraz #NeverAgainIsNow

So many innocent people are going to die here during Hurricane season... #AbolishICE

A lot of people think the world can be made better by identifying the bad people and making them suffer in exactly the ways that we suffer. I understand that urge. It may bring some kind of catharsis. But we all need to understand that it doesn't actually *solve* anything.

Power is out all over Brooklyn bc the power grid keeps literally exploding underground. It’s only June and the heat is taking this city down #nyc

Ordinary Americans were worried enough about the safety of family friends neighbors and favorite figures in culture to call their reps and say “please don’t kill trans people” and that runs counter to essentially every narrative about the US circulating today in beltway political media

from @bradlander.bsky.social tonight: "one thing is clear: together we are sending Cuomo back to the suburbs"
