It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

The result is that, while not openly against trans rights in the way right-wing regimes are, liberal states end up de facto oppressive for trans people outside a fairly small swath of gentry.
One in five of us ends up incarcerated, we're an overwhelmingly working class demographic. You do the math.

This case shows how Maryland's image as a refuge for trans people does not extend to marginalized trans women.
This April, Trans News Network reported on a lawsuit by trans women in Maryland prisons who had been tortured, intentionally placed in danger of rape, and denied hormones.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again - digital ids, wearables, are dressed up ankle bracelets
These initiatives should be met with a great deal of suspicion: the eugenicist administration says everyone should have a wearable, and tech companies are trying to make us all think of wearables as health devices.

I have always hated the "but is it Art?" debate, because I think anything can be art, some art is just bad. But AI/generated art is not art. It is plagiarism, it is outright theft, it is cruel and extreme mining and exploitation of living artists.

This is why youre seeing these articles about mealymouthed CEOs hoping "fair use" is left up to the courts in terms of GenAi.
They do not want regulation. They want to be free to shove this shit down your throat without consequences. That is the "nuance" being sold to you.

It really needs to be pointed out how every one of these embarrassing statements is made by a c-suite executive and not an artist or even art department lead
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Looking at these pictures of Ruby Bridges, and thinking about how moving it is to see how tiny and vulnerable she is.
And, I'm thinking about our language and culture around trauma, and how on a personal level it often feels lacking for me.

Should the Epstein files be released in full it would undoubtedly be an irreconcilable scandal & disaster for Donald Trump - which is why I predict that Chuck Schumer will post hole on main during that press conference, to save the Republicans from another inevitable defeat.
