“I’ve been disappeared because a rainforest killing plagiarism machine picked me out of a hat”, coming to a dystopia near you
Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."
Pq democratizar a arte não é toda pessoa ter um desenho bonitinho feito em segundos, democratizar arte é toda pessoa ter tempo e saúde pra aprender e produzir arte se quiser mas principalmente ter condição pra pensar e se relacionar com arte com introspecção.

Claiming you shouldn't have to pay for art because capitalism is bad is like saying you don't tip waiters because you think tipping culture is bad.
And in the case of Facebook making shittons of money off stolen IP it's like saying it's okay for Wal Mart to steal wages because capitalism is bad.

Went to claim some voters for Vote Forward's Wisconsin Supreme Court campaigns, found that both of them are completely covered already. It's nice to be reminded there are other people angry and worried about what's going on in our country and want to do something about it

Earlier this week, I sent what will clearly have to be the first of many rounds of letters to my federal/state/local reps. This first round was mostly a "use the tools you have to fight back" message. Round two will be going out next week. #DoSomething

Yeah, nothing more "anti-American" than people using their self-determination to build a new life for themselves in the face of great hardship and adversity. Not like that's the foundation of the American myth or anything!
Trump and his ilk are, as ever, fascist trash.

2. In the purpose section, Donald Trump frames being trans as an "anti-American Ideology" designed to "sow distrust" and "undermine family unity."
It also fronts the fringe claim that title IX MANDATES discrimination against transgender students.

I've always considered myself a plantser, but going off this chart I'm closer to Lawful Pantser? Idk, whatever works!
Where do you fall on the #DND alignment chart as a writer?
I am the entire Chaotic column, depending on the project. Or sometimes the phase of the project. Or sometimes my mood.

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right?
Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

More and more, I wish Star Wars had developed along Final Fantasy or Gundam lines: unrelated stories in terms of continuity, with similar aesthetics/motifs (laser swords, white-armored soldiers, the concept of the Force) that carry over from one version to another
Basically, give us more SW Visions

I kinda wish DARK EMPIRE had remained it own tangent rather than being inserted into the novel continuity because MAN is it awkwardly integrated via exposition in JEDI ACADEMY
"Somehow Palpatine Returned".
Star Wars: Dark Empire, written by Tom Veitch and illustrated by Cam Kennedy, started to be published 33 years ago today.
It was the end of the Dark Times, and the beginning of my story with the galaxy far, far away.
