the thing is, this is a thin but real pressure point. as I convolutedly explained to alix over the phone, I see this like the story “but what does he eat” where we have an obscure but very real chance to make it a worse day for darth vader (starwars.fandom.com/wiki/But_Wha...)

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Januaries is @olivieblake.bsky.social at her most playful and inventive, experimenting with form and genre and tone in exhilarating ways. Stories can turn on a dime, like “The Animation Games,” which had me cackling, and all are imbued with a serious passion for storytelling. Loved it! #Booksky

@Sirens26 #Bookmas Day 31: For all you recovering capitalists

GIFTED & TALENTED by the incomparable Olivie Blake (@olivieblake.bsky.social). In a world of magical biotech, capitalists are still fucking assholes. Blake sets up her family-driven novel with gorgeous care--and then sets it on fire

The only reasonable position is zero tolerance: the AI industry must end sooner rather than later. It is culturally, socially, environmentally, and economically destructive, and all the Silicon Valley marketing in the world isn't going to make it otherwise.

There are many people who simply do not understand the stakes and either understate or overstate them. The issue is not that AI will replace writers or w/e: it can't. The issue is that AI will make our working conditions significantly worse and harm the development of new artists in our fields.
