In the news 100 years ago today: Jimmy the cat from Barnes, who can "sit up" and balance a reel of cotton. Unlike my stupid cats.

US-South Africa funding: As American cash dries up the fight to stop Aids gets harder
Health experts fear that as testing and monitoring drops the risk of the further spread of HIV rises.
A horrific example can be seen in South Africa, which has been responding to one of the worst HIV epidemics in the world, with 180,000 new infections last yearβ a huge decline from when it was more than half a million, only possible because of funding which was just cut by the regime.

Even with some of the cuts restored, we will never achieve the 90% reduction of HIV within a generation now, a goal which was shockingly not entirely out of grasp only decades after it was seen as a death sentence. Sit with the fact that this is, however, what the UN was pitching only two years ago.

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing:
Hey Evil Hat team,
Promised this is the last time youβll hear from me.
We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend.
I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can.
Want in before we close it up?
Best,
[redacted]
And then our reply:
Hi [redacted],
We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games.
In short, it's not "free work" it's theft.
Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit.
-Tom

One of the reasons I talk about the unsavory parts of Canada is because it crosses borders, this started in Canada with Indigenous victims, Starlight Tours/the Saskatoon freezing deaths. It made it to the US years ago, generally in the desert. Now ICE is using the same cruel practice across the US.
