People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.

one of my least favorite new publishing "truths" is that books only deserve consistent marketing & publicity if they are already doing well, it's the new "needs experience to get experience" 🤡

If you saw the creepy Ring Super Bowl commercial then you know they're manufacturing consent for a surveillance state (that serves ICE) by emotionally blackmailing us with our dogs' safety.
This flyer can be printed out and posted all over, or shared online. Get your $ back, fuck ICE.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

a good thread on how insidious these book banners are
This is only tangentially connected to me, but stick with me.
In Leander TX, a suburb of Austin, a Dem candidate gets 57% of the vote in a special election for mayor, walloping 2 rightwing challengers. Great news!
Leander is arguably where the rightwing book banning took off. I was a target!

That's funny because I'm seeing community care. I am seeing more and more people coming together to stand up for each other. I'm seeing people who don't have to choosing to put their bodies on the line for strangers. I'm seeing people donating to stop people from being evicted./1
I feel like we are purposely being pushed to the brink. He wants war in the streets, he wants to stop any elections. I’m seeing people seeking guns and training. Everyday the horrors against humans seem worse than the day before. I can’t help but feel that this is all orchestrated.

People are still being profiled.
People are still being wrongfully detained.
People still can’t go to work or school out of fear.
Do not look away and do not buy any political spin coming out of DHS.

Here's an opportunity to support the other journalist arrested today; Georgia Fort, who will have far fewer resources available to her than Don Lemon.
Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.
A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:
