All the world will be your enemy, Prince With A Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
But first, they must catch you, Digger, Listener, Runner, Prince With the Swift Warning.
Be cunning and full of tricks, and your people shall never be destroyed.

Not to yuck peoples yum but if they can let Patton Oswalt back in for doing the exact same damn thing then they can also reinstate Link.
First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

at the other end of art is the knowledge that someone FELT something, and the art is your pathway into empathy. cave paintings from 30 thousand years ago have an "other end," the people who were there, who did this, who FELT something about it, and we can only be in awe and wonder what they felt

at the other end of genAI "art" is nothing. there is no sentient being, no experience we are being asked to share in, no mind to marvel at, to wonder about. this is why people call it "soulless." there is no other side, it's just... noise

One of the things I don't like about the Canadian system (Westminster, but too polite) is that parties approach a budget vote like it's a game of chicken. The CPC, NDP and Bloc could EASILY drop the government, but no one will because polls show that no one wants an election. But the thing is..

as soon as I find out someone has included anything AI in something they made, I no longer trust them to tell me the truth at all about anything. If they admit it, it's because they don't think they can hide it

If I hear you've used AI in production even ONCE, I'm among those who would never trust you again, because I will presume you only stopped after massive outrage and are merely biding your time until you think you can get away with it again.
If your game has been using AI assets in production, remove them, hire artists or voice actors or composers to replace the slop, it's not too late to course correct, just get rid of it before release, excise the slop. And that's the compromise position, because people still might not trust you.

We all know he wouldn't have been arrested on duty. If he was on duty, he'd have been accompanied by a veritable horde of other armed men to help him do the tough job of intimidating, threatening, terrorizing, & assaulting people instead
But the story changed today, as we learn the gun-brandishing lunatic terrorizing teenagers is an ICE agent.
No word on whether he still would've been arrested if he'd been on duty. We can only hope so.

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

This is how people describe future serial killers.
The equation of hunting animals with hunting down immigrants is so blunt in their dehumanization of ethnic/racial minorities that it’s like being hit in the head with a hammer.
All nonwhite people are to them are animals unworthy of human rights

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Rape and abuse and pedophilia and all these things are bad in the abstract but we’re not allowed to say who’s doing it and we’re not allowed to say who was victimized by it. We can’t come up with ways to stop it from happening, either

That’s (part of) why so much energy is invested in who is allowed to be called a victim, what crimes are allowed to be called crimes. Well unless the child is below the age of 15 it doesn’t even matter, and we won’t believe the ones under 15 exist. We know it’s happening but stop being mad about it
