Heist movie except instead of a bunch of charming high-rolling criminals stealing priceless jewels it's rogue engineers breaking into ERCOT facilities to fix the damn grid themselves.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor
Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes
Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day
Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

hi @The Hague can you come over we have snacks and war criminals
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Please understand this is happening in literally dozens of locations around the city simultaneously. If an ICE vehicle stops, community members materialize in seconds and do everything they can to stop the kidnappings. We are under siege and using every tool to fight back.
430k of us vs. 2k of them, we're gonna win this

I don't think my suggestion of "Strap every AI CEO into a big centrifuge, spin it up, then toss in a brick" is an unreasonable one.
This does seem just a little bit bad! Idk the sort of thing you’d think politicians might distance themselves from or something!

Sayin' it now: if Amazon thinks that this is going to lead fans to say "this is the future," they have another thing comin'.
Our community was born in the old ways, and enough of us who were there from the pre-boom days are still around to the point that we can very feasibly return to them.

Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

hello! i'd like to bring your attention to this short video, which showcases how fancy copypaste fonts sound through screen readers (ie bad). :)
i really encourage people not to use these for this reason! i think it'd be cool if bsky included fonts down the line, but anything you have to copypaste—

I've downloaded & re-uploaded (in a trimmed fashion to fit in the 1 minute limit) the video from X to ensure that it will continue to be available (& ensure that people have an easier time experiencing how awful this truly is).

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’
Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

As a nonbinary person, I also dislike partnerships like this, bc they turn us into "woman-lite." They aren't typically welcoming of more masc or AMAB folks. And I don't want to be jammed into a woman's group! Just hire trans women!
Fighting back against AI is great.
But please hire more trans women.
One would be nice.
More than one would be ideal.
Zero is… telling.

Here’s the reason I spoke to so many video game actors. I attended the launch of TIVA, an independently run audiobook series with all of your favourite voice actors, aiming to fight back against AI and corporations, featuring an all female/non-binary cast.
