GenAi companies know where all the court cases are headed, and how badly it’s going to go for them.
Their only resort? Entirely destroy legal systems that are in our constitution in order to get away with their theft of creative works.
But they wont succeed. We wont let them.

If you don't let us scrape copyrighted content, we will lose out to China says OpenAI as it tries to influence US government
The company also tries to frame its scraping as covered by the 'fair use doctrine'.

It gets more dystopian. Open AI knows its gonna lose their lawsuits so not only do they want the US government to destroy legal systems (copyright) in the constitution in order to get away with theft, they want to oversee and seemingly control all ongoing legal cases.
An outrageous overreach.

1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills.
While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky
💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Slightly buried the lede but: if you're a queer couple and you want to get married ASAP in a state with strong protections before Obergefell inevitably gets overturned by fascists I will do an officiate for you for free (if you drop by the shop when I'm here just call/email ahead to make sure I am).
Would you like to get married at a cozy comic book shop? This is not a joke or Valentine's Day meme Wing actually has a level in cleric and can officiate marriages legally. Completely free for queer couples who wanna get paperwork done and have a simple thing. Email us if you want something more.

Sorry folks, this is not an AI friendly space. I routinely block AI dedicated accounts, so if you’re a prompt engineer and you start following me because you “like my work” - don’t.

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.
I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

It's really weird (it's not really weird) how states that ban abortions are also states where women can't get leave to take care of their children.

There are NO ethically-gathered datasets to train AI.
After months of artists’ questioning Adobe about “supplementary data sources”, here’s the answer.
Firefly isn’t ethical either.
