nobody needs AI to create graphic novels. ai will, in fact, never be able to create anything worthwhile. you're literally stealing the motivation, training, and confidence to make comics away from these kids you creep, leave them alone!!

Stay safe, US friends. The FBI is compiling a list of domestic terrorists and I for one satisfy the criteria in all five possible ways. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leak-fbi-l...

Struggle's an abstraction to them. They can conceptualize a news article. But they sanitize their entire lives of poor people. Including online. They don't do mutual aid because they see no mutuality or commonality. For them, people who need help are distant objects of pity.

My dog loves on everyone and just expects it back. I never thought about it like this and now won't stop thinking it.

We could just stop paying taxes that are used to kill us and fund genocides. The 10 people still working at the IRS are kind of busy and likely don't care much.

You should be boycotting McDonald's anyway...now you have another reason

Funny you should ask that... this can answer your question better than I can: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEH9...

I block every single person whose bio is all about hating Trump because the Truth is that they don't hate Trump's policies, because Democrats do the same thing, they just hate that he's tacky. That's it. Here's a Mastodon post of mine:

Great blocklist in these replies

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates

i’m so sick of the way people feel entitled to cheap clothes. people are taking “no ethical consumption under capitalism” to mean “don’t blame me if there were slaves in the supply chain.” clothes should cost money—the solution is that you need less clothes, and that you should be paying a lot more

I am brimming with holiday spirit

After 7 paragraphs musing about potential Hamas 'ceasefire violations' like 'not finding bodies under all the rubble quickly enough' we get a casual mention that the IDF has killed 38 people in paragraph 8

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

🔴 In the past 48 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 29 killed (23 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 21 injured arriving at hospitals. This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 68,116 and 170,200 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)

Unemployed therefore uninsured... The US Story. Property management is planning to enforce pet fees, so I need a letter for my Emotional Support Animal. Tell me how at no or little cost. Because also fuck these giant real estate companies tbh. Fees keep coming.

Lot of people treated a genocide of a people, sponsored by their own country, as an annoying pet issue that needed to be shelved after the killing as complete or pushed aside for other political problems. And pretended that it was just too complicated to engage with.

Congrats to all the people who have postured as intelligent and morally righteous for years but decided that they couldn’t take a stand against genocide or decided to justify and cheer on the massacre of a people for whatever reason. Now they can go back to playing the intellectual in peace.
