I just got this notification from this trial Meta is conducting. For art to be seen, fees are required. No more likes because your work is interesting to ppl, it is all just paid access to huge audiences. And these are just starting fees, they go up after a month. 👎😬😭
$1 for your first month a prevents your profile from being impersonated and people are able to find you when they search $3.29 for your first month means ppl can find you in the search feature and you get a sticker $10 for your first month means you get to be in the search feature, can add links to reels and custom chats $33.49 for your first month means you are special so we promote you

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

Art by San | @santhewitch.quest (https://bsky.app/profile/santhewitch.quest) An event graphic depicting Coartoonist Cooperative mascots, Nibfort (a dip pen) and Inkling (ink well) dressed as hackers from old-school movies. Nibford is wearing small round sunglasses and a long black trench coat, and has propped an old-school-looking keyboard on their shoulder. The hand they are typing with is wearing a glove with some gadgets. Inkling is seated at a desk in front of a CRT monitor. They are typing something. They are dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, and they are wearing sunglasses. Next to them is a scale with a banana on top. Art style is black and white. The illustration is referencing Hackerman from Kung Fury, Cereal Killer from Hackers, Job from Banshee and Neo from Matrix.

The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires.

Anyone can sign the petition — link below!

The CSU/OpenAI contract is set to expire June 30, 2026.

Sign this petition: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/cancel-chatgpt-edu-invest-in-humans/ for the CSU NOT to renew the contract and to use the savings to protect jobs at CSU campuses facing layoffs.

see. i like being able to sit with an idea for about 15 minutes because either my brain will conceptualize how stupid it is and decides it needs to stay locked up in my head, or it has merit and can be further explored on paper.
