So true

I think it's really worth noting that this concentration camp was opened one month and three days ago.

This woman saw enough horror in that time to quit and tell the public what she saw.

Which suggests that it's not as bad as we think, or as bad as we can envision from her description—it's worse.

ICE is at it again, despite the injunction stating they can't run operations like this anymore.

They rolled up in a rental truck, told day laborers they were looking for workers, then popped out of the back after people gathered around to talk to them.

Truly heinous shit.

we’ve made it clear that anyone who visits the US could be disappeared into a Salvadoran prison but I’m sure it’s the kids and their avocado toasts who’re to blame

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

New York opens first-in-nation homeless shelter for transgender people The shelter will offer services to 150 residents.

It’s good to remember there are still people out there doing the right thing.

The DoD Rapid Response team on Twitter writes: "The Secretary of Defense has great jeans." The attached photo shows Sec. Pete Hegseth wearing a blue sport coat, white button-up shirt, blue jeans, and a big buckle Western belt.

I disagree. I will tell you what's wrong with his jeans. 🧵

Of course you're on edge. You're in a government mandated relationship with one of the worst people America has ever puked up, who probably reminds you of the person you left home to get away from. Give yourself a little grace here.

It arrived!

My own duplicate of Ea-Nasir's complaint letter!

"Executives pitched the idea of actually incorporating AI into one of the characters as a marketing strategy. The AI-generated character would be a sidekick, but the idea was ultimately scrapped because executives internally were told that the company couldn’t risk the bad publicity.”

The teacher who put a student's work (for a club!) into Microsoft's AI is a real piece of shit. That's so immensely rude and invalidating.

The commenters suggesting using AI show how useless it is. "At best it's a starting point that you triple-check the work of before doing it yourself anyway."

[bunch of guys who haven't read a piece of fiction in 20 years] my feeling is the kids don't read anymore

"You're in a leftwing echo chamber" Man, I live in America. No I'm not.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

You don’t know anything about manufacturing in America, or steel mills, or metallurgy, or CNC machining, or how anything is produced from raw material into a finished product in this country or anywhere. Stick to writing about “men’s fashion."" I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?" Alex replies: "Gobelin machinery? What exactly are you referring to?" I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"

"stick to menswear"

It's a wild world this #AniMonday

I originally wanted the #butterflies to be right behind #Teddy and he juuust missed them. But everyone was worried that it might seem he's see them, so we moved them to the kitchen.

The great Chris Boren helped me with the Teddy animation.

me: I just, I just don’t understand why I’m here. And wearing a jumpsuit.

Hegseth: After the cuts to every scientific agency, we had no one else, and your name kept coming up …

me: I wrote a movie. Fiction.

Hegseth: This Administration does not recognize that distinction.

East Asia really just blows potato salad out of the water. There's a shop in LA that specializes in banchan (Perilla) and their potato salad is so damn good.

The fact that ai art and writing programs are built on stolen work really seems to be fading from the discussion even amongst artists and writers, which is a bit shit.

Transphobia is infuriating AND self-defeating. If you're AFAB, you're going to go through menopause...HRT has been a lifesaver for me. It may even stave off dementia!

If HRT is banned for trans folks, think it'll be easy for us cis folk to access it?

A little solidarity just might save YOUR life.

A dirtbag tour of D.C. with memoirist Rax King In “Sloppy,” Rax King writes about her years stripping, shoplifting and screwing up. She led us through the highlights of Washington vice.

i took @maurajudkis.bsky.social of @washingtonpost.com to a strip club to celebrate SLOPPY ✨💋 👠

The quoted skeet is a reply to the guy saying we actually can allow them to come for the trans community, as a treat. I want to talk about these mezuzahs, and what happens when you allow Them To Come For a negligible minority. (1/)

I don’t know what changed, but this is what it feels like to use this website now
