We really should have federal laws against people creating AI slop of ppl’s deceased loved ones. I know some states are passing laws against this, but it needs to be more widespread

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

When you realize how long it takes for a single tree to become fully mature and how many trees it takes to be productive... This is just one more method of *generational* violence.

Too many people making their own individual comics instead of making doujin circles and collectives like they do overseas. It's giving everyone the idea they can do everything and no stories ever get finished bc of it

he got banned for alt text saying "a negative consequence follows" REALLY????

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

It’s never too late to start masking again. It can be daunting to mask back up when no one else is bothering, but your health is worth it. Every Covid infection is a dice roll with disability, and a good respirator like an N95 stops chains of transmission. You’ll also get less colds & flus!

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

and hey on the topic of ID laws do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord? these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps

Burger Becky, a trans elder in game development, was recently diagnosed with cancer. When she sets up the inevitable fundraiser to help pay for treatment i hope people will consider giving.

If they force this on people i'll drop YouTube music (and don't think i will YT, i already dropped Spotify, i'll do it again!) The WHOLE reason i listen to music is to, shockingly, LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. If i wanted it interrupted with nonsense i'd go back to radio, with actual humans doing it!

Seconding this post. Please keep calling and mailing. ESPECIALLY if you're in Germany. If Germany flips to opposed, with how the current shakeup is looking, chatcontrol is dead in the water once again.

Being a person with autism has not been easy but the reason it hasn't been easy- is because non-autistic people are not taught how to interact with autistic people. Autistic people are expected to socially mask & neurotypicals generally don't have even a base idea of how autistic people communicate.

Hold no enduring fear of death.

Shameful from Pink News here. The threat in question is a month old social media post that they’re spuriously linking to current negotiations. This sort of cheap and misleading fearmongering from the queer press is doing Trump’s work for him.
