Starting off the New Years strong by teasing a cover I recently finished for a zine I'm in. I have more stuff in the works but for now I'll only show the cover. Very excited to see everyone's hard work come together!
Also... it may or may not be #Over/Under related.

Trump's illegal invasion and occupation of Venezuela must end.
We stand in full solidarity with the people of Venezuela. This kind of blatant US imperialism cannot be allowed to stand.

Well,
You have to wonder if the strikes on the "drug boats" were just a way to test which generals would follow illegal orders wrt an undeclared war with Venezuela and weed out those who wouldn't.

Can we also address that the xAI team is both deflecting blame and perpetuating a fraud here?

Trump has just claimed that US forces have attacked Venezuela and kidnapped Maduro.
The UK has a choice.
Do we tolerate US Troops here in the UK?
Do we remove Starmer if he refuses to cut ties with the US?
Or are we now owned by Trump?

Stop calling it war. These are terrorist attacks being committed by the US government. Every foreign nation should be lining up sanctions.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

We sent a formal complaint to the BBC over its repeated misgendering of trans people and use of terms like “biological male”. We’ve also written to the Women and Equalities Committee, DCMS, and the Minister for Women and Equalities. Now we need community action.

It's deliberate obfuscation. It's easier to sell the LLM grift when you mislabel everything that uses large algorithmic calculations as "AI."
the fact that people dont know the difference between some shit-grift LLM and a deep-learning render by a supercomputer to work though covid using a closed, sanitized dataset for medical purposes is the problem. tech bros have convinced people they're the same thing.

TIL: Before Hans Asperger or Leo Kanner, a Jewish-Ukrainian psychiatrist named Grunya Sukhareva defined autism in 1925. Both men did not cite her work. She also had documented how it affected women and girls, where the men did not.
