All books by Normal People and Conversations with Friends author Sally Rooney set to be withdrawn from sale.
The 34-year-old Irish author says: “The disappearance of my work from bookshops would mark a truly extreme incursion by the state into the realm of artistic expression.”

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Once again, the giant Ferrero Roche pyramid is back but they refuse to give it to me. "It's just a display, sir- they're not real" and the other lies the staff tell me won't deter me. I will be back and I *will* claim it. It is my task, and I will not fail.

Debunked: Enoch Burke was jailed again, but NOT for 'refusing to endorse transgender ideology'
Misleading claims about the arrest were shared in Spanish, French, and Polish, as well as by UK and US figures.

i think scissorman in the clock tower video game is just what happens if you get a giant pair of scissors without the regulating power of mayorship, which helps you control and channel the powers of the giant scissors. even with this, many mayors still succumb to the corruption of the scissors

Once upon a time in a place called Twitter, a man from America just wanted to tell a story about free-speech-loving celts fighting against the globalist multicultural Roman Empire... but he was laughed out of town.
Anyway, this tweet is so incorrect it is almost impressive.

This, a million times over. Please tell people when you like their work. Creatives can go a very long time without any outside input at all, positive or otherwise, so a gesture of appreciation often makes all the difference in the world.
Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I said I'd do it and bit the bullet- behold, a speedrun of a 1985 licensed horror text adventure game! Routed out Stephen King's The Mist, can knock a few seconds off this with better typing and depends on some RNG factors.

It was pretty much what we expected: the "confidential information" was Rockstar employees discussing salaries and union organization.
Which are protected activities.
It's gonna be funny as fuck if these dipshit executives have lit the fuse that straight up kills GTA 6.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

When Dunnes staff refused to handle S African goods they were denounced by politicians from FF/FG, as well as "business leaders". The same groups blocking the OTB today. They were spat on, beaten by Gardaí and followed by Special Branch. It took 3 years to shame the govt. into acting. Reluctantly.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.
