Gretchen got suspended, so we have to extra spread the word about Black Flame's release. I had the chance to read it a few months back and it's such a brutal hard look at cultural trauma, assimilation, self hatred, revenge, and the messiness of history. It will knock your socks off

the argument that AI in the context of art is “just a tool” completely elides the fact that the point of art is to participate in the fucking process of making it

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!"
Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

Something I learned a long time ago is that being on social media to sell books is not a viable strategy. But being on social media AND selling books absolutely does happen. It's a meaningful distinction.

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.
“On Tuesday afternoon, ChatGPT encouraged me to cut my wrists.” @lilashroff.bsky.social reports on how the chatbot was easily prompted to offer instructions for murder, self-mutilation, and devil worship: https://theatln.tc/Up7Ycoli

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

JACOB'S LADDER is now available to stream on Shudder. Can't recommend this incredible and what seems like underseen gem. If you like Silent Hill 2, you owe it to yourself to watch the movie that influenced it.

I can't stress enough that if you ever want a specific image made, you can commission any of the thousands of talented artists on here for a fair price, they'll produce something infinitely better than a computer, you'll possess something truly original, AND you'll have helped a person's livelihood.

just gonna be the thousandth person to remind you all that segregationists start the open bigotry with people they feel they can target most easily but do not end there
Wow—Trump is firing and banning all trans people from the military, per DoD memo.
“Military service by members and applicants for military service who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria is incompatible with military service.”
