More so, when the court works out in his favor, that allows everyone to believe justice has been served and continue with their lives without doing their part to reverse the harm and contact EVERYONE they contacted before. It’s pure cowardice and goofy behavior.

Nine minutes.
They kneeled on his neck for nine minutes.
Over what they thought was a wonky $20 bill, they kneeled on his neck for nine minutes.
He lost consciousness at five minutes, still they kneeled on his neck for nine minutes.
On hatred alone, they kneeled on his neck for nine minutes.

"vancouver city council elects to do [something stupid or evil] and the vote passes 10-1 with councillor sean orr voting against" is going to be a pretty reliable headline mad-lib for the next few years
Vancouver council has voted for a permanent giant sign that says "VANCOUVER" in big letters next to the convention centre.
It includes an amendment to ask for donations to help pay for the sign, which could cost up to one million dollars.
It passed 10-1, with Councillor Sean Orr voting against.

Vancouver council is debating a giant permanent sign that says "VANCOUVER", and staff say an issue is putting the sign in a place that won't interfere with film shoots.
In other words, a giant "VANCOUVER" sign could interfere with vancouver's lucrative business of pretending to be any other city

this is fucking bullshit. sex work is real and vital work, and bills like this hurt marginalized people who turn to sex work as some of the only work they can get.
this is performative bullshit, if you want to protect women, prosecute rapists and abusers more strictly.
make coming forward safer!!!

Sweden has gone ahead and passed their draconian "Nordic Model" bill criminalizing online creator content.
As of July 1, consumers who purchase an OnlyFans clip, a cam show or other creator content will be subject to arrest and a year in prison
All in order to "protect" women from exploitation.

These are my two go-to points whenever I talk about genAI, because it really is amazing how few people know this.
On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.
Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

I dare you to say, in my face, “the U.S. is a democracy”, knowing full well that the U.S. now snatchs and disappears people for things as simple and trivially resolvable as an incomplete visa application.

Discord has apparently added generative AI "apps" users can use to modify any image posted in any discord server.
On by default, no way to disable them, no moderation tools.

As LMM said, dying is easy, young man, living is harder. (Read: big dramatic actions appeal to us and feel more significant, but small consistent daily actions are as much or more powerful in the long run. Are you seeking to be a martyr, or are you seeking to be a team player?)
“I would punch a N*zi.” Um, you won’t even wear a mask.

Thus far, I haven’t talked to a *single* cis person who is aware of the sheer amplitude of the trans genocide happening right now in the U.S.
