Artists are also hurt by big companies spamming DCMA takedown requests for fair-use or similar-sounding works.
Why are you relying on a rent-seeking legal mechanism that's ineffective and holding humanity back?

Same playbook used on the genocide in Gaza--throw up a smokescreen of conflicting claims and hairsplitting so the audience is comforted by their own ambivalence to other people's suffering. Every item in this is pointless if you know that torture and rape are wrong, period.
The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

Yesterday, the U.S. House passed HR 3492 by just 5 votes. The bill would criminalize gender affirming care. In 2023, Utah passed a bill sponsored by now-U.S. Rep. Mike Kennedy that banned the practice. The bill called for a study & for the policy to be revisited when the study was complete.

there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

Exactly this: the administration’s concentration camps should be a howling, daily outrage, a scandal of historic proportions.
Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant
“we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

across industries, one of the big complaints re the pandemic’s aftermath is that businesses lost negotiating power vis a vis workers. They could demand much higher wages, were willing to be choosier about jobs, did not bend the knee to the boss (and in a metoo world, that could be literal)

I think this used to be true 10-20 years ago, when European center-left parties were mostly social democrats, center-right parties were mostly Christian democrats, and far-right parties were fringe. Since then, a few things have happened:
"dems would be center right in uk/eu" staggers on, zombie like, immune to evidence
the uk tories just proposed deporting 4-7% of the uk's population - self-partition- they are, in fact, to the right of adam schiff

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

I use LLM's for some things & I'm not ashamed of it. For example, I was able to use 4o to find a paper in the scientific literature that contained an identity I needed, after every other resource failed. It was disguised as a hypergeometric function.
This kind of blanket denunciation is just silly.
