Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien is my favorite allegory showcasing the importance of listening to women and Black people, and the dangers of unmitigated corporate greed and AI

By the way everyone, what right-wing politicians say about immigrants is literally also what they believe about you.
You having an ordinary job is a kind of favour your generous employer and the nation has done you, allowing you to reproduce your existence despite not being AN ENTREPRENEUR

Gavin Newsom is a Republican who doesn’t have the courage to run as a Republican.

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

Senator Mark Kelly has seen the Trump admin's classified justification for the boat strikes and said they should be released to the public. Kelly can release the info himself due legislative immunity; but when asked if he would, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

I'd go far as to argue that giving up the ability to choose your own members, to choose who your organization serves and includes, is functionally identical to cessation of existence. Someone else controls the decisions a functionally new org for different purposes. It's gone. It already died.
Been going back and forth in my mind about it since I saw the news last night and have concluded that, yes, I do expect organisations to stand up and fight transmisogynistic legal challenges - even if it means that organisation ceases to exist.

Was struggling to keep our inventory of enchanting books organized on the Realms server, so I excavated a section out of the basement and built a library. Turned out well, and the rooms can easily be reorganized to accommodate additional books as we acquire them.

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?
