Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

When I was translating Kon Satoshi, in order to understand him better I spent time reading his personal blog. I'll never forget him writing "They say what Aronofsky is doing is an "homage." I know my English isn't great, but I don't understand the difference between "homage" and being "ripped off."

Darren Aronofsky Has Reconstructed the Revolutionary War Using AI
That's the conceit of a series he made with Google DeepMind and Salesforce, which will unfurl on Time Magazine’s YouTube channel every week through the end of the year.

I don't think @reuters.com posted it here, but I'm just kind of shocked that anyone working in media could have gone into the second Trump administration thinking, "I don't think in those first few days we understood what an organized agenda they had."
They made a 900-page playbook, Sally!

So, so much of the response to Good called her "a mom," even erasing her wife to make her seem more like a "normal" Wife and Mother. Pretti also has a family, but I haven't heard anything about them -- just about him and his values. He valued calling out sexism, so it's worth pointing out.
Making this point quietly, I don't want to trigger feelings I'm scolding ppl.
The heroic tone around the way ppl have accepted Pretti was martyred as a hero and how that tone contrasts with the tragic mom lost her life around Good and the virtual erasure of Keith Porter..

let me add another point: a lot of the replies say nonviolence only works when you're confronting a moral opponent. if you only had moral opponents, you wouldn't need to engage in risky nonviolent resistance. nonviolence appeals to the morality of *others* by raising the social costs of violence.

let me put this another way: people who die as a result of nonviolent resistance are killed by the state or imperial violence. they are the victims of state or imperial violence. it's not the strategy that's killing them, the strategy is a targeted response to the thing that wants to kill them.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

And of course they're going to go do a photo op on March 17th with a guy who's putting infants in concentration camps, having dissenters executed in the street, threatening to invade EU member States

The Irish government aiding this is fucking unconscionable. Unforgiveable. History will remember this as Nazi collaboration, because that's what it is
Next, this Journey ICE flight that landed in Tel Aviv on Jan. 21 held eight Palestinians, who were transferred to the West Bank and released, according to @haaretzcom.bsky.social.

Minneapolis is far worse than any major US-based media outlets are reporting. ICE is a rogue terrorist organization.

I enjoyed the HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest pretty well but it had some really sloggy parts and you really felt only having one party member in places.
It was worth it to get to the Dragon Quest 2 remake though, which I'm having an absolute blast with even if it's tough as old boots

The CEOs lining up to say "actually we're in trouble if AI haters don't start using AI" is absolutely baffling to me why would you come out and admit that the haters are winning. Do you expect people to go "oh no not the poor CEO! I can't bear it. Better generate a really fucking ugly dancing cat"
