And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

I wasn't aware of the issues with Mumsnet and transphobia, but now I've looked into it, I've decided to remove the Mumsnet search from the extension. Thanks for pointing this out!

“I don’t think browser add-ons are gonna save us,” said Tega Brain. “For me, the purpose of doing this work is mostly to act as a provocation and give people examples of how you can refuse this stuff, to furnish one’s imaginary for what a politics of refusal could look like.”

I find this collaborative approach to urban wildlife very sweet somehow, even though it is transactional and involving crows into our systems of exchange. Like, yes, give them snacks. Share resources, collaborate, we are already so over-involved in their futures www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tired of all the slop? I built a browser extension called Slop Evader that only returns search results from before Nov 30, 2022 - the pre-ChatGPT internet. Sure, the info is a couple years old, but at least you know a human wrote it :) chromewebstore.google.com/detail/slop-...

And they are like 'don't worry to IP of the work will be yours' as if they also haven't completely destroyed what IP even means...

Got off a call from openai this wk about their unpaid artist "fellowship" program involving getting access to the sora api so you can explore "what might be possible." Like u gotta be kidding me, this the worlds biggest start up valued at 500 BILLION & they cant even do a paid fellowship program 😱
