I've been more on the permissive side of things as far as AI art / copyright issues have gone... but this Studio Ghibli thing feels different somehow. Studio Ghibli just had this major viral / cultural moment and yet a different company got all the profits. 🤔

Trump administration has identified words to be banned on government websites or at least be wary of using. Among them: women, race, injustice, climate science, pollution, victim, historically. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The Words Federal Agencies Are Discouraged From Using Under Trump
Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

I’d heard rumors of a tiny Microsoft satellite office in Kitsap before. It’s real! I’m surprised more tech companies don’t do this for people who want a cheaper / quieter place to live but are still within occassional commuting distance of their main office.

Luigi Mangione, charged with killing CEO, withdrew from a life of privilege
With his credentials, he could have ended up as the CEO of one of his family’s thriving businesses. Instead, investigators suspect, he took a different path.

One of the pathologies you see in a lot of punditry/discourse is some implicit assumption that in a deep sense Democrats *should* win every election and when they don’t it shows how bad they are, or how annoying libs are of whatever. But America’s a pretty conservative place!

I’ve been answering questions over on Instagram (here’s a truncated version of one answer to fit here) and here’s the truth: our country is never going to succeed if half of the population doesn’t see themselves in the future as presented by the other half. That’s where we are.

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.
