fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

Trump administration drops effort against law firms after judges find president's orders unconstitutional Numerous judges have ruled against Trump's executive orders targeting certain law firms.

This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him.

This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.

1. Don't worry. You can't gaslight yourself into being plural.

2. Experiences being relatable does not necessarily mean they are identical or indicative. Lots of people find things relatable that are not necessarily the result of having the exact same circumstances.

I know it's been said before but it's really funny how the media and pundit class are scrambling to say "this isn't a war it's a defensive operation and it will be over in a week" and then the camera swings to trump and he's like "I love war. This war is amazing. We could do this forever."

best perk of hiring me: I am down to show off a ferret over video chat on request if we wrap up whatever we needed to discuss on any meetings early

Reminder that Microsoft is one of the biggest forces behind GenAI "adoption" on top of funding and wildly profiting from the continued genocide in Gaza, it seems like games media has forgotten this

If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.

It would mean the lobbying by big US tech firms had succeeded, and the protests of the UK's creatives had been ignored.

People's work is not the government's to give away.

If you're in the UK and you care about creatives and the creative industries, please write to your MP!

In the House of Lords today, a government minister refused to rule this out.

To be clear, this would amount to legalising theft. It would fly in the face of public opinion on what is fair, and would mean a surrender of British creatives' work by this Labour government.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

A scandalous little sneak peek at FESH PINCE 4! I don't have an ETA yet, but I've got a lot done, and I'm still working on it regularly. It'll be a long nideo - definitely longer than the last installment.

hehhehehhheheheheh =>:3

Keep saying "slop" in reference to AI.

At every opportunity.

The techbros are listening, and this word makes them so sad on the inside that they'll hoist themselves on their own Streisand Effect petard.

Mari did an ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL job with the cover art for the forthcoming full release of Roses Under Glass. I literally cannot believe how well she captured the look and feel of Zalmoxis. Better than in my head.

After 9 yeareals, it's finally my turn to post the "a thousand cereals" clip, seeing as how I'm the idiot who made it.

A line up of 5 or so drones lined up to the right, one in the center is staring at the camera out of line with the rest.

Can you believe it?
It's #GasMaskMonday, yet again!

The reason why some people think the New York Times is a liberal paper is because in like 1986 a far right wing talk radio simpleton called the New York Times a liberal paper. Most American political thought is based on scenarios like this

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"

SKIING If a PC mentions skiing in any way – or completely unprompted, if they have an Astral Stigmata clock with at least one segment ticked – the floodgates will open and Odin will begin skivangelizing, for hours if he isn’t stopped. All four of his children are excellent skiers at his insistence, and he can tackle double black diamond slopes with ease. The lack of ski slopes in Calliope pains him greatly, and since he anticipates being in the system a while, he is considering bankrolling the creation of an indoor ski slope on the Icebreaker. “There is no sport that teaches more respect for both nature and self than skiing. I would go so far as to say that if you cannot be a good skier, you will struggle to be a good person.”

Now that I've been skiing, I promise not to be weird about it, but I have decided that Dr. Odin Valentinian IS very weird about it.

You'll note that the 'You need to vote Labour to stop Reform!' guys aren't elated that Reform got trounced. They seem a little gutted, actually?

my understanding of UK politics is that labor got put in power cuz people we fed up with the right and for some reason labor decided "we have to be exactly like the right. or maybe even worse." and are now surprised that they lost to the left because they went right

I will, at some visceral level, never get those who revere the mythology of some inevitably blood-soaked, powerful institution over living, breathing people on the ground.

It's just deeply delusional and disgusting.

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

It's always this.

Well, yes, trans people are getting drugs; yes, from entirely unregulated sources; yes, without counselling; yes, without blood tests; yes, they are self-administering; yes, without clinical oversight; yes, risking long term harm; yes, it is highly suboptimal.

What did you think would happen?
