We need California authors to drop a note to their Assembly member and tell them to vote in support of AB 412.
AI companies (and their money) are lobbying against this bill, and all we authors got are words. USE THEM.
We need CA authors to show their California State Assembly member that we believe that companies should be transparent about their use of copyrighted works.
The AI Copyright Transparency Act is currently pending in the CA State Assembly.
This bill would require companies to disclose any copyrighted materials used in training AI.
If you are a California author / creative / voter, the #authorsguild along with #sagaftra , the Animator's Guild, the Concept Artists Association and the Voice Actor's Association needs your help!
Or if are a California author and can't make it, you can also sign the petition here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/le...

California Writers we need you! AI companies won’t tell us what books they trained on.
AB-412 would change that.
Bay Area authors: show up at Stanford Dec. 8 @ 10am and tell lawmakers why transparency matters.

I keep seeing Piggy Statement in the trending topics and think Yes I do want to hear Miss Piggy's statement on what the president said.
First Colbert, now Kimmel.
Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.
Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.
President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

The fact that men cry is considered a feature, not a bug of romance Kdramas. Just go to any kdrama fan board and you’ll see tons of postings of fans asking for recs where men cry and show emotion.
Mazie Hirono brings out a copy of Project 2025 on the Senate floor: Trump and Vought will gut programs like nutrition assistance, education funding, and Medicare and Medicaid. This is Project 2025, which Russell Vought helped mastermind
This book sounds so cool!
DELETE IT and pass it on !!
Torn between adulting and binging new episodes of #singlesinferno
Gofundme should not be our national safety net

How to figure out if you are talking to a bot on socials 😆
Take Episode 1 of Project 7 for instance: I kept thinking of the latter part of the episode because when members of BAE173 appeared, the producer/judge had tears. He had judged them on a previous show and expected them to do better. But BAE173 is still struggling and now on their sequel show. 2/2
I just started watching Project7 and I'm beginning to think that Kpop reality shows are their own genre unto themselves, with recurring tropes, characters, themes and Easter Eggs. Not only that but so many of the same judges and contestants appear on multiple shows. #kpop 1/2
For more reading on how a dictator took advantage of democracy to take power, this article from the US Holocause Museum has a good summary. 21/ 21 encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a....
you should know that this wasn’t just the prologue
It was also the how it all went down
The dying days of the Weimar Republic
And the beginnings of Hitler’s rise to power. 20/21
you know how this story ends
Or at least,
you should have been told
maybe you don’t remember 19/21
So he did, creating detention areas (listen, he said they were humane ones of course, everyone knows democracies don’t just kill people); for the enemies of the nation, insider betrayers and outsiders alike (they were asking for equality after all). 18/21
In these extraodinary times of extraordinary crimes, it was time to take extraordinary measures.
After expelling the enemy from the sacred halls of the assembly, the legislature voted, with the will of the people, to give this curiously charismatic man, the power to punish.
17/21
Extraordinary crimes demand extraordinary punishment.
Extraordinary punishment demanded extraordinary powers.
Powers that would not be restrained by judges nor bureaucrats.
(Temporarily of course, just until the evildoers were rounded up. This was a democracy after all). 16/21
Inside the government, where the villains thought they could mask their vile intentions behind paper and confusing bureacracy that only they puported to understand.
Those betrayers were not prepared for the lengths that justice was willing to go. 15/21
