Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

Of course "bitch" is a slur. Are you all dense?

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

TONIGHT AT 7PM EST ON twitch.tv/idoherty451 : My story/music analysis playthrough of #SilentHill4: The Room begins! Join me as we dive into the twisted mind of Walter Sullivan and explore more of Akira Yamaoka's iconic tracks, including "Room of Angel." #SilentHill #streaming #music

My new streaming overlay for the music analysis segments of my Silent Hill 4 playthrough. The game sits in the upper left, while my webcam video sits in the upper right, and a full piano keyboard stretches across the bottom of the overlay for demonstrations. Between the game capture and my webcam capture sits the Halo of the Sun, one of the symbols associated with Silent Hill's residential cult.

Everyone channels their feelings of powerlessness and despair at the state of the world into rank transmisogyny, because we're the designated effigy for everyone else's frustrations and anger and desire to feel like they have power and control over SOMETHING.

I visited 200 hiring managers at their private homes to stand out during the recruitment process. Here is what I've learned:

1. Standing out can be a bad thing, if you stand out as "invasive" and "really weird"!

2. Stalking is a crime in a lot of countries!

3. A firm handshake is important!
