"This doesn't affect you because you animate, so you are fine."

No. This sucks and this is really dangerous.

In solidarity with all artists, Please be cautious.

I know many will remain on Twitter because they have mostly everything here but be aware this time it's worse than the other times.

I dont have many followers and I dont know just how many of you will see anything from me, but this outlet has done amazing work, is 100% worker owned and deserves support! Donate if you can and if you can't spread it!
We're glad this powerful piece is drawing way more attention to how dubious some of these oft-invoked tropes from Chenoweth's writings are.

For example, most folks taking these at face value probably aren't aware that their views on anti-Nazi resistance amid the Holocaust are...not good.

99% of my physical mail is junk. 99% of my email is junk. 99% of my voicemail is junk. I'm losing touch with people because they're lost in a sea of spam. I'm losing my mind. I was not made for this world. I don't think anybody was made for this, even the people who made it this way.

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

Amazon is quietly raising prices much more than its competition.

While many companies are raising prices and blaming tariffs, Amazon prices have skyrocketed by an average of 12.8% this year.

Their biggest competitors, Walmart and Target, have raised prices about 5%.
