Funny that the list I was put on called AI Racists is fine though. That clearly wasn’t meant to, what is it, contain harmful language, unverified claims, or shame or abuse users. Interesting. Interesting.

Hey y'all! I'm officially announcing my new Webcomic

Chicken Legs!
a young witch, Mariska Morevna, striking it out on her own trying to prove herself to her imposing family
chickenlegs.co

Launching OCT 31

comic cover with the title "Chicken Legs" at the top of the page imposed over the lower half of a very large chicken standing on a field. A young unimpressed girl stands at the chickens feet. She glares up at the camera. She's white with brown curly hair pulled back from her face in a messy ponytail and small pomp. She is wearing a dark purple dress with a light blue belt and white collared shirt underneath and holding a green potion in a round flask in her clinched fist. She has wooden legs with large round knees and is wearing black boots with socks.

That doesn't even make sense in any direction, nothing that has wires also has a back and nothing is working hard? What's wrong with slopmonger, kids don't wanna say slopmonger?

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

Like… it's kind of right there, no?

"AI" generated image of woman with dark hair sitting in a chair in front of posters with random shapes and symbols meant to look like images and text on movie posters, all superimposed with a post from k.w.bogen reading
"AI actresses can't negotiate. They can't say they'd prefer their bodies not be shown certgain ways. They can't refuse degrading scenes. They can't express distress about disturbing content. They can't ask the creators :why would you do that to me? Why put any woman through watching that? If AI film winds up being the path, we're about to see an entirely new generation (and more brutal depiction) of media misogyny."

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Why *almost* every door? What made the difference? Hardware, reportedly.

Dan Jones was jolted awake around 1 a.m.
Tuesday to the sound of federal agents dying to break through his apartment door.
They couldn't get past his double lock, so he went back to bed.
But when he woke up hours later for work, he walked out and found broken doors littering the hallway — and his neighbors missing.

@wyden.senate.gov this week tried to pass new laws that would extend the privacy protections government officials enjoy to the entire public, but Ted Cruz scuttled the effort by lying about how the updates would have stopped sex offender registries from existing

Ted Cruz blocks bill that would extend privacy protections to all Americans | TechCrunch

The Texas senator blocked a bill that would have prevented data brokers from selling personal data on anyone in the United States, and not just federal lawmakers and government officials.
