the gun wizard in Unknown Armies can shoot you with magic by making a finger gun and saying "bang" - but the worst part? The fucked up, horrifying, scary part?

The literal actual bullet wound that is actually genuinely bleeding and causing real risk of death?

It cannot be seen by anyone else

This feels like a metaphor for racism.

Robin Williams daughter Zelda is pleading with people to stop creating AI videos of her Dad.

I’m pleading with you to stop using generative AI.

It’s destructive to the environment.

It’s destructive to artists.

It’s destructive to humanity.

It steals from us and churns out slop.

Just stop.

Four days later the snail got to Toad’s house and gave him the letter from Frog. Toad was very pleased to have it.

I dunno man, try listening to marginalized people *before* shit goes wrong, and maybe it won't keep being like that

So I'm building a new PC, and the liquid cooling fan has a display that can be set to show GIFs...

I’ve thought that too. She’s really much much much safer unpardoned.

ICE and DHS agents aren't worried about being doxed. They were given a directive to disguise themselves so people can't trace them back to the various far right extremist groups and militias they were recruited from, because that will embarrass the administration.

Work should not be a healthcare outcome.

It should be the last step of "recovery" for those who are able to get to that stage and for whom it is a positive step.

Employment and healthcare should not be conflated, ever... And if someone can't work, they can't work.

The decision between “ask the coked-out robot to draw the building you’re literally sitting in” vs “send an intern with an iphone downstairs” is sure indicative of some things

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Ya'll would get so many podcasts.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Hospice is not 'giving up,' it is a different kind of medical care suited to a change in your medical needs. You can get it at home, in a standalone facility, or in a hospital. It can come with the degree of intervention you want. Hospice cares for your loved ones too.

A really cool thing you can do for your family is have a detailed conversation about your end of life wishes, with a very clear advance directive, long before you think you'll need it. And also to have a hospice consult EARLY, again, before you need it, so it's in place when you do.

Can be confronting but it's a good idea to talk to your loved ones about your end of life wishes. #thread

The two types of museum on any of the Great Lakes:

- Lighthouse Museum (featuring Shipwrecks)

- Shipwreck Museum (featuring Lighthouses)

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

Body-cam footage contradicts ICE's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove towards officers before one of them opened fire on her in Chicago late Saturday morning. It's past time to start arresting ICE agents and prosecuting them.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔

I wish people who use AI to make content off of other people's work and DEAD PEOPLE a very fall down the stairs.

A boulder and cobble dam built across a stream at low water, blocking the surface flow of the water.

I say this every year during bull trout spawning season, but please don't build rock dams across streams with migratory fish (especially during a record drought). 🐟🧪

Somehow the world must figure out how to survive the loss of your artistry when you die, so you mind as well help us by stopping now.

I saw him speak at BYU when I was a teenager. :)

It's odd that the @thestranger.com didn't talk about how Mayor Harrell's budget includes a new $2.7 line item to crack down on street vending? It would have fit perfectly with this piece?

ICE is lying. Go figure
