This is an important video on a lot of levels, but specifically it’s fascinating how the level of global complicity and support required to prop up apartheid has increased in the digital age. And how distributed and diffuse the infrastructure is. youtu.be/Ybj10537yi4?...

this article really lays it all out on how much we rely on section 230

please do not rest on your laurels, contact your rep and advocate for protecting Section 230!

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things.

There’s no third option.

it seemed weird at the time and still seems weird now why it took so long for those basic facts to come out. if they're both separated, who cares? for some reason the media went apeshit and yet we are only hearing now that, actually, no one was cheating on anybody.

This is going to trigger another round of abuse for this woman but the basic facts appear to be that she was separated at the time and so was the CEO. She recoiled on the jumbotron because her husband was attending the same concert.
At a Coldplay concert in July, Kristin Cabot appeared on the Jumbotron in the arms of her boss. Cabot retreated, trying to make things right with the people who mattered most. Now, for first time since that viral moment, Cabot is sharing her side of the story. trib.al/I8tWdU4

re lrp:
the misogyny of violently attacking the WOMAN involved--WHICH IS SO FUCKING MINOR IT WAS JUST ACCIDENTALLY HIGH PROFILE--is so unsurprising to me given the vitriolic misogynistic hate campaigns against women like amb*r h**rd.
fascism is back, which means so is fatphobia & slut shaming.

Okay maybe I'm stupid but i thought the rule was that when someone is sorry like genuinely sorry we forgive them especially for something as minor as this like yeah the NYT sucks and my opinion on them hasn't changed but thats not HER FAULT she doesn't deserve this scrutiny

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME.

I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.

People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

Honestly authors, if your contract has language in there about faithful translation, TALK TO YOUR EDITOR AND AGENT because this isn’t it.
last month, one of my coworkers decided to use AI translation for a job. the AI skipped about 1/4 of the source text and added other stuff that didn't exist in the source. my coworkers trusted the bot output and went ahead and published this. i discovered the errors so i got the job of cleaning up.

📽️ WATCH: When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider.

AI imitations of creative work (art, writing, etc.) aren't bad because it's "ugly". They already look "good enough" to satisfy most people. AI is bad because it's laundering plagiarism of real human artists AND making us ever-more dependent upon trillion-dollar tech companies.

By the way, if any of you all are using anything "created" by Made By Olof, including that Bluesky Unwrapped thing, just a word of caution. He uses and loves genAI. Literally says it on his profile. Also, shoutout to @camcantanything.bsky.social for pointing it out.

SPOILERS
ep 7 of #themightynein is framed so fucking well
it starts AND ENDS with the execution of an innocent person by the ruler of the empire/dynasty.
and the two responsible for the execution were previously in cahoots and are temporary foils of each other.
fucking BRILLIANT. god this writing.

The world needs more beautiful cartoons that leave images etched in a child's mind like a half-remembered fever dream. Stuff like this ends up referenced by luminaries a generation later as what influenced them to create.
I hope Quentin Rigaux finds a worthy funding to make his French animated feature film "Cosmo Princess".

@matthewmercer.bsky.social i cannot recall if this has ever been asked/answered, but was the somnovum created and named BEFORE the group dubbed themselves the mighty nein? was that another incredible coincidence, or did you make that choice after the fact for fun/Themes?

Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser.

This is the best option, full stop. We’ve seen it in other industries, we need it and we can win the fight.
if you hate unmediated AI use at your workplace without worker input, if your boss is speaking over you & for you, consider unionizing. shop and industry unions are bargaining and ratifying real, material AI protections RIGHT NOW.

So—I like many am extremely disappointed in Larian’s AI pratfall.

Broski says that they only use AI to search for references, and that makes my library science soul cringe.

References are important touch points, especially for clothing detail. Ask the costumers responsible for Imperial officers.

DO ANY OF THESE JOURNALISTS KNOW THAT VENEZUELA IS NOT ON THE PACIFIC

THAT THE CARIBBEAN SEA DOES NOT TOUCH THE PACIFIC

THAT IN FACT THIS IS WHAT THE PANAMA CANAL WAS BUILT FOR

WTF IS THE EASTERN PACIFIC
