2nd Nov. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the ongoing human presence off-world.

That is, humans have continuously occupied the ISS for exactly 25 years today.

So if you're <= 24 years old, you've never lived in a world where humans were *only* terrestrial-based.

Le financier times cet outil du parti communiste woke international qui cherche à détruire la France
Opinion: More than any other western European country, France is dominated by powerful billionaires paying relatively low taxes. Most voters agree that France should cut its deficit, and the majority says: the super-rich first. on.ft.com/4hedHHZ

On va juste répéter continuellement les faits :

L'usage de L'IA GÉNÉRATIVE est facultatif détruit l'environnement écologique, renforce le capitalisme, enrichie les patrons et est l'outil assumé du fascisme.

À gauche, si vous utilisez ça, vous agissez contre les conviction que vous prétendez avoir
Deux jours depuis la remarque d’une couv en IAgen chez un éditeur.
- des messages en privés pour dire qu’ils étaient dégoûtés qu’on les affiche
- des commentaires de « l’artiste » qui se justifie que c’est pas de l’IA car il bosse depuis 20 ans

Aucune excuse et acceptation de l’erreur.

I would say that among people I know the primary two positions are "freak out" and "ignore this" and you will be shocked to know i think neither of those are the right move, but both are understandable. I think this is worth closely monitoring, without losing your shit over it.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
A totally serious commitment and not at all extended in only one direction.

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements."

Really meant,

"For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

A nationwide day of disruption has started in France, “Bloquons Tout” (Block Everything). Triggered by new austerity measures, the call demands a total halt to work, consumption & banking activity — “We don’t pay. We don’t consume. We don’t work.”

Stay tuned for more from France. #BloquonsTout

Pareil, je voulais me mobiliser mais j’ai dû renoncer sous peine de me manger mes dead lines (ce qui, malheureusement, n’affecterait personne à part moi), mais si vous êtes dans la rue aujourd’hui sachez que vous avez toute ma gratitude, et si le mouvement se poursuit je vous rejoindrai ASAP !
Je ne peux pas manifester ni faire grève, mais soutien à toutes celles et ceux qui luttent aujourd'hui.

Transphobia is a unique sort of bigotry that just absolutely cooks the online brain. Holding it nearly always results in an inability to ever admit you’re wrong about anything and exponentially increases the likelihood of believing in a cascade of ever dumber conspiracies and fascist ideology

If you actually have a reasonable budget to hire an artist for your project, TELL THEM IN YOUR INITIAL EMAIL TO THEM. Right off the bat. Here is the project, this is what I can pay, this is the deadline. We get so many time wasters it’s remarkably refreshing when a potential client is upfront

If you can read Spanish, I hope you like Sofón, Issue 1. It includes 17 SFF short stories and poems in Spanish, which I really enjoyed reading, editing, and putting together. Sofón is the third speculative fiction magazine from Mexico that pays its authors. I also did the cover art ^u^

Youpi, c'est le retour du " le droit d'auteur c'est un truc de possédant de droite "
Pour rappel, si personne ne peut gagner sa vie avec ses livres, les seuls qui pourront écrire à un niveau un peu visible ce seront ceux qui ont déjà de la thune (ie, les riches).../...
