Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"
Turns out, mom was right.

If you've told me you don't believe your own writing has value on its own, you're sure not going to convince me that using the Regurgitron improved it.

Y’all if you write about how you use AI to do the work of writing I am just going to block you and never read your books or think about you again.

In the eternal words of a tumblr meme: "then perish."
"If we had to ask EVERY author permission to adapt their work, it would kill Hollywood" "if we had to ask EVERY woman for consent--"
If you can't do it without exploiting people, you don't deserve to do it. Full stop.

There's only ONE DAY LEFT to put in a public comment to the FDA to keep the COVID vaccines available (not free, just literally available at all) to the general public under age 65!
We need to keep access to the vaccines because SARS-CoV-2 mutates fast, and new strains can cause awful complications.

Democrats divided on whether to shut down government or vote with GOP
Trump needs Senate Democrats’ votes, but they are still weighing whether to use this rare point of leverage and risk taking blame for a shutdown.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.
This pride, we riot.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more
