They’re gonna ferret out the last three Black women with government jobs and fire them
Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open
I never got around to seeing any of the Conjuring movies. Having had personal experience of the Warrens, I wasn't up for watching movies that valorize a pair of lying, manipulative con artists. Seeing those scumbags portrayed as heroes would have set my teeth on edge.

The True Horror Behind “The Conjuring”
Way back before I was living under an actual authoritarian theocracy, I enjoyed making videos about, well, relatively inconsequential bullshit. For those who are new here, I do what I do today beca…

Multiple polls and studies have shown this. When you present the policy facts w/o labels, most US Americans approve of these "leftist" policies. Dem leadership needs to get a clue, and stop listening to those who want them to become GOP Lite.
A new poll from Data for Progress found that “voters of all parties” are open to leftist policies, and that a majority of Democratic voters polled preferred democratic socialism to capitalism “when written definitions of each are read aloud to them.”

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

There are tons of graphic novels, academic papers, film and TV scripts, & prose novels/nonfiction on the LibGen list Anthropic used.

As settlement approaches, make it easy for the class action lawyers to contact you! Here’s how

Part 1: is your work in Libgen?

Seems related that "below the fold" originally meant in the bottom half of a broadsheet-sized newspaper (which would be hidden when the paper was folded for the newsstand) and came to mean "below your screen - you have to scroll to see it." for web design.
The meaning of "lede" also seems to have morphed from the dictionary definition (the introductory portion of a news story) to something like "the most important point or aspect" of a story.
I was today years old when I learned that the spelling of "lede" (the introductory portion of a news story) was originally a way of distinguishing it from the "lead" of the lead type that was used in printing at the time.
Rovina Cai always does such great work. I particularly love the full wraparound version.

Some of my own pet peeves. Not a huge deal if you make one of these mistakes in a post or email, but if you're a pro writing for publication you really ought to know the difference.
Not to add to the discourse, but…

It’s ‘toe the line,’ not ‘tow the line.’
It’s ‘free rein,’ and not ‘free reign.’
It’s ‘eke out,’ not ‘eek out.’
It’s ‘sleight of hand,’ not ‘slight of hand.’
It's ‘Anchors aweigh,’ and not ‘Anchor's away!’
Having read some of the early chapters of the initial version of this, I am so psyched for it!

(Also, check out Matthew's "Misfits of Magic," too. It's great fun.)

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.
