GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment. An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action. A disinformation machine as our journalism fails. A bias machine as fascism takes root. A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

Why is a class action lawsuit against Amazon alleging Prime Day is a scam getting zero coverage by mainstream media? Could it be because media outlets get a cut when a customer purchases a Prime Day product when clicking through their featured deals? h/t @juddlegum.bsky.social

NEW from LCRW: @katerqburns.bsky.social covers the Christian supremacist provocateurs behind the 'Mayday' tour partnering with the Liberty Counsel. They're suing L.A. and Seattle for not accommodating their events enough and the court documents reference public masturbation for some reason

A video tutorial about painting the powerfist of my Plague Marine Champion is available on my patreon. My style of painting dirtier miniatures looks a bit like a comic book. The full video is 1h long, has my commentary, list of the colors that I used and the view of my palette 🙂 #warhammercommunity

These crema variegata / creme brulee m. Deliciosa were labeled as "thai Constellation" 😐 (pics 2-3 are comparisons)

the fact that “having children” is the norm has caused a lot of harm. Not having children should be the norm, and then you only get them if you really want them

A lot of attention has been paid to overseas aid cut by the Trump administration, but this brilliant piece of visual data journalism illustrates the devastating cuts to food banks here at home: 94 million pounds of food that were never delivered projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

I'll be doing a live draw at NYCC 2025, Thursday Oct 9th, 5:45pm - 6:30pm, Room North 406.1! 💋 I'll be drawing a sketch of my characters from "Come Find Me"! Hosted by @neonichiban.bsky.social, enjoy listening to the @dstlry.bsky.social team talk while drawing with @mirkand.bsky.social!

it was 15 months for us! and my green card is still conditional, meaning it will need to be re-verified and renewed in 2026. for more money, of course. Americans, I love you, but you do not (as a majority) understand how your immigration system works. it has been punitive and cruel for a long time.

Early last year, Seattle signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space for homeless people. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there. @ashleyhiruko.bsky.social @kuow.org

The judge ultimately ruled that the teen was mature enough to raise two children, but not mature enough to decide if she was ready to be a mother. (Published 2022 in partnership with The New York Times Magazine)

RIP Renato Casaro, an Italian artist known for his film posters. He passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

I asked my employer sincerely for a pay adjustment, laying out all the numbers and exact reasoning, because I'm still getting paid a fucking poverty wage. Suddenly, today, everything they can do to push me to quit voluntarily is being done and it is incredibly transparent that its retaliation.
