Studio Ghibli Demands That OpenAI Stop Ripping Off Its Work A group representing Studio Ghibli and other major Japanese publishers is drawing a line in the sand against OpenAI's copyright abuses.

“After Sora 2 was used to relentlessly churn out depictions of Japanese anime and video game characters, the creators of those characters are striking back.”

This is an excellent idea!!!

And they’re both excellent reporters

@neguse.house.gov gives a lesson on how to reframe a journalist’s stupid question about #SNAP! 💪🏼

A president who routinely gives orders attempting to rewrite history, is a president who's planning to commit atrocities.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

So sorry it inconvenienced you madam concern but we don’t give a rat’ ass. I’m more concerned with our neighbors starving and not having health care

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Luckily CA has mail in/drop box voting.

Okay, I needed this

The Court that stripped us of reproductive rights and autonomy does not give a shit about human life at any age.

One day the White House “ballroom” will be a museum cataloguing this country’s descent into autocracy, including horrors we have yet to see.

How about we rebuild Syria instead of some vainglorious ballroom

Frost: Trump knows that when they passed the big, ugly bill that rips away healthcare from 17 million people, you usually don’t win elections when you do something like that…

So instead of undoing that, he’s pressuring states to give him more seats.

What California is doing is responding to that

This is so wrong. We can't allow the GOP to discard entire groups of people. These children are all our children.

Fuck this shitface. Caucasians are a rather late arrival to these shores, and they have not been a very beneficial immigrant so far.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY

We celebrate and honor the first people of North America
Their history, culture, and resilience
Trump cannot sweep history away

Nearly all employees within the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) were dismissed in Friday’s reduction-in-force, leaving only a few senior officials and administrative staff.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

NO You do you.

The U.S. Department of Education fired nearly everyone in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in a wave of new layoffs that began Friday.
