Schumer should be demanding everyone held in a facility like this gets not only released, but naturalized. If Miller wants to hurt these people we should extract the highest possible cost from him
My colleague got into Trump's sprawling family detention camp, which is full of toddlers, kids, & teens.
- Kids have cut themselves or talked about suicide
-There's worms & mold in food
-300 kids have been held for 30+ days, far longer court settlement allows

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.
She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.
It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

It's been said many times, many ways: the fascists thought winning an election would mean winning the culture, and the fact that hasn't happened is making them rabid.

Fun fact: The divorce scene in the Kid Rock show was an actual divorce showing a wife leaving her conservative husband.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Young TREK fans are having a radically different experience with TREK than ancient TREK fans.

Not. Cool.
Odd being airbrushed out of The Ultimate Guide to Star Trek, 60 Years on the Final Frontier. There's Roddenberry, J.J., also Kurtzman and Orci... but where's the guy who wrote or co-wrote, Treks II, IV and VI, who directed Treks II and VI? Now I know how Trotsky felt - waiting for the ice pick...

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work!
I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

“Oh, you think Lee Greenwood has broad appeal? Name two of his songs!”
I keep thinking about when Mike Johnson was asked about the NFL getting Bad Bunny to play the halftime show and he responded by saying they should find "someone who appeals to a broader audience" like... 82-year-old Lee Greenwood.
Really shows how much of a bubble the right lives in.

Everyone who has worked in publishing or read screenplay submissions for a production company can tell you about the piles of dreck they've had to sift through to find good writing -- well before AI was ever a thing. AI just makes the pile bigger, without copyright protection.
Oh she’s a scam artist, got it! Every single time you hear about a person offering coaching in one of these pieces they’re just a scammer and the media falls for it

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.
