I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both

hey, uh, y'all *do* know that chatgpt *is* generative ai, too, right? it's not just art. gen-ai is not just stealing & scraping the internet for art, it is *also* stealing & scraping the internet for all types of written word.

you cannot be anti gen-ai and still use chatgpt. all gen-ai is harmful.

Glad Anthropic stood up against the regime for now!

But seeing so many politicians and media folk getting ahead of themselves claiming Anthropic as overall good and responsible is concerning 😭

They knowingly stole the works of almost every creative, to power their models per court documents.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

A bipedal red fox paints a rainbow across the sky. They have a determined look on their face. To the right of the rainbow are segments of text from newspaper articles about grim news for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially trans folks. On the left, there are flowers on the ground, with butterflies flittering about. The discouraging words are illegible faint smudges. Artist: BriarhideIllust

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

From the east side of Grand Canyon's south rim, you can see all the way down the canyon to the Colorado River. The bright turquoise waters glint with light in this oil painting, reflecting the brightening sky at daybreak. The colors of dawn slowly fill the canyon, illuminating it with hues of magenta, apricot, and ochre.

a digital painting of a pair of lovebirds, sitting on a branch against a purple background. They are facing the viewer, with faces in profile. Their bodies are mostly bright green, with a yellow collar and a reddish-black face, and bright red beak. one is grooming the other, both look very content.

This month's #BirdWhisperer is a pair of black-cheeked lovebirds, of course! Look at them, whispering and plotting their little crimes.

An amazing Bulgarian woodcarver, Stefan R Todorov made my 'Get Out' artwork into a woodpiece, all tradiotionally handcarved

I am absolutely speechless and honored.. it is making me emotional, so very stunning!!

heads up to people like me that have art files and silly things they have kept for years

Reminder for fellow ADHD people who have a hard time not doing things at the last minute. 😩 This affects voting by mail but also beware of anything else time sensitive that you have to mail.

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.
