Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

Co-signed. :)

If you've told me you don't believe your own writing has value on its own, you're sure not going to convince me that using the Regurgitron improved it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would โ€˜killโ€™ the AI industry Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

In the eternal words of a tumblr meme: "then perish."

"If we had to ask EVERY author permission to adapt their work, it would kill Hollywood" "if we had to ask EVERY woman for consent--"

If you can't do it without exploiting people, you don't deserve to do it. Full stop.

There's only ONE DAY LEFT to put in a public comment to the FDA to keep the COVID vaccines available (not free, just literally available at all) to the general public under age 65!

We need to keep access to the vaccines because SARS-CoV-2 mutates fast, and new strains can cause awful complications.

Democrats divided on whether to shut down government or vote with GOP Trump needs Senate Democratsโ€™ votes, but they are still weighing whether to use this rare point of leverage and risk taking blame for a shutdown.

Fellow Coloradans: Please call Hickenlooper and Bennet to demand they oppose the CR!

The embodiment of Democratic Party resistance. โ€œTheyโ€™re throwing out the Constitution. Iโ€™m not sure how Iโ€™ll vote on it.โ€

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

A national park service webpage about Stonewall.

"Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in
the quest for LGBQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement."

โ€ผ๏ธ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Write because you are going to run out of everything else: time, money, fucks to give. But you will never run out of your own bullshit. You could live forever on this unlimited fuel of emotional damage and charm. Plus people think you're funny. You're such a good writer. Live mรกs.

Write *anything* in Ellipsus
All writingโ€”and all writersโ€”are welcome in Ellipsus, but thereโ€™s a special place in our hearts for the creative writers whoโ€™ve been quick to adopt and celebrate what weโ€™re building. Many people have flocked to Ellipsus because they (rightfully) have concerns about how their writing might be monitored, scraped, or censored by other tools.

To make sure our stances on privacy (weโ€™re for it), generative AI (weโ€™re against it), and transformative works (โค๏ธ AO3) are clear, weโ€™ve revised our privacy policy and terms of service. Nothingโ€™s materially changed, but the language should be much, much clearer. Hereโ€™s the gist:

Your data is yours. We wonโ€™t access, sell, or use your personal information for nefarious purposes. Ever.
We wonโ€™t police your content. Weโ€™re a writing toolโ€”we donโ€™t host published works. We strongly believe in creative expression, and youโ€™re free to write whatever you want. (Just donโ€™t commit crimes or use Ellipsus to harm yourself or others, pretty please.)
Weโ€™ll always keep you in the loop. These docs are a WIPโ€”we may update them to reflect changes to how we operate, prevent abuse, or better safeguard and serve our writers. When there are significant changes, weโ€™ll let you know first. We want you to feel safe and confident when storing your work in Ellipsus.

Hey good news for #writers!! Ellipsus has made a solid stance on privacy, and AI, so if you were interested in a more ethical, private and safe alternative to Google docs, maybe consider them!

NO data harvesting
NO AI training
NO cops policing adult work

Whenever I see a venture capitalist group buying up an artistic platform or a website or a newspaper and picking it apart, I'm reminded of a Stephen King quote from a documentary about him possibly making a "better investment" than buying a radio station:
