The tech lords got stuck in sci fi from when they were twelve & decided if that if the future doesn't look exactly like stories of what it's supposed to be like it's not coming. That's behind a lot of their pushes including AI. There's no reason we can't reject a future that doesn't work for us.

People in the industry always act like generative AI is some collective project of humanity rather than private business ventures. And no, it can’t be both, because it can’t be the former at all.
Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

Massacring everybody in sight & turning every building to ash in Gaza to clear it for Trump's real estate project. Makes me throw up.

If you don't have voodoo I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but not having voodoo ain't one.

Me non-ironically.
Wishing won't make it happen. If you want to make your dreams come true, voodoo is the only way.

This beautiful piece of property by the sea?

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.

Could a Democrat, any Democrat, release a statement actually thanking the people that have been out there doing the fucking work instead of this constant scolding tone for the love of God
Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

They got issues & their colonization of the Western Sahara is one & I’ll never defend them on that. I’ll never defend their evil monarchy on anything. But they have African identity for all their issues.
Seeing how they’re screwing the Sahrawis over Western Sahara, I wouldn’t call them exactly pan-African.

Moroccans are being antiblack as hell over soccer right now. Very sad when they get like this. They’re definitely Africans who know they’re African but they get their complex going.

If the collective of Americans keeps dancing around white supremacy I don’t see their efforts to topple Trump being successful, & at best they get things right for white folk while our brutalization remains the status quo.
Do Black people exist in this post-Trump America they say they want with the real equality we’ve never known? Because if not I don’t want it.

If you see this and agree, you are obligated to rec a book by a fantasy author who's still writing. I don't make the rules.

I mean, I do. Please though? It'd be great.
I'm always baffled by the "I'll ONLY read old fantasy" crowd.

You know there are LIVING authors doing really cool stuff, right? Like, LOTS of them? And we could get MORE if more people bought their stuff?
