I feel like if you walked up to Hemingway and said โ€œyour writing inspired me to enlistโ€ he would, without hesitation, beat your ass with a pipe

Probably, true. Very convenient for him to end up in a Nazi friendly tattoo parlor though.

I refuse the framing that being evil makes you ugly (congrats on falling for one of the most historically prevalent ways disabled, scarred, poor, mentally ill, physically ill, aged, and othered people have been discriminated against) but it's not that he's ugly. he just looks... slightly unreal

If we ever come out of this it will be fascinating to meet someone who still doesnโ€™t think we need any kind of discrimination protections in the workplace. Like, how smooth does that brain have to be?

When they write the obituary of our society I sure hope they donโ€™t forget to include desperate, mewling little tech journalists as among the causes of its demise.

And if you dig into the back of your pantry and โ€œdonateโ€ a 4-yr-old box of Rice-a-Roni, you deserve to burn in all the hells.

I really want cis folks to understand the situation - trans women face widespread employment discrimination and live in devastating poverty.

Meanwhile, the woman who came in fifth place in a swimming competition, ONCE, makes a million+ a year to advocate for destroying our rights.

The debate is stupid

As visual fidelity increases it becomes much harder to tell what is a path forward or relevant to your interest and what is just background environment. Having a visual language to signify that is vital and people mad about it are the same as folks mad about easy modes, IMO

How artists behind Marvel, Alien, and the Matrix movies are fighting AI With solidarity, legislation, class action lawsuits, and a little help from Guillermo del Toro. Plus, the Luddite Renaissance continues, and I open the mailbag.

Artists behind some of the most popular films of all time are also forging one of the most powerful organized resistances to AI.

With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech.

I meanโ€ฆof course. Itโ€™s fucking horrible, but of course this was going to happen. Buying these things should immediately require you to notify your neighbors that you live nearby.

What stuns me is that the people pushing for him donโ€™t seem to understand that this is absolutely inevitable, and there will continue to be more stories because no one accidentally gets a fucking Nazi tattoo!

I was first introduced to him in โ€œDark City,โ€ so itโ€™s always thrown me a little off that he almost always plays absolute bastards. Even though, god heโ€™s so good at it.
