the water thing about genAI is bullshit but the thing where it makes on-demand nudes and CSAM isn't and the thing where it talks you into killing yourself isn't and those seem pretty bad

The one DSA politician to learn the right lessons from the 2020 primary.

One of these will almost certainly get a box set that will be a make or break moment for the artist handlers in question. At least two I can see new vinyl pressings for, but that's it

Reposting this b/c it’s a new year, and because the American healthcare system is stupid and Texas makes it worse, I had to change ACA plans effective today because my old plan is no longer offered. All my deductibles and out of pocket amounts reset today. I appreciate you all more than you know.
