Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.
Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.
They admitted it.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Hey, if you're an artist who uses Stripe, they're about to force an AI feature on you whether you want it or not.
It charges 30% of any payment dispute that you win.
You can disable auto-submission, but it looks like the AI still automatically runs on your behalf with no way to entirely opt out?

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey.
Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work.
It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

Friendly reminder for this new year: if you want to draw you only need one thing: DRAW
It's okay if you don't have art studies, if you're bad at anatomy or color, if you draw on a napkin or if it looks “ugly” to you...
You don’t need to be “good” at something to have fun!

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."
