Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

imagine going from “don’t say anything bad about Newsom 3 years before the primary or else trump will win” to “don’t engage in civics by asking the governor that represents you to sign laws that have been passed by two state houses and will improve your life or else you’re helping fascism”

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

Bree told me about her experiences, which she’s warred over saying publicly for some time. I believe them.

Many of you have heard disparaging remarks about Bree from Noir. I highly suggest you rethink and reflect given this information. This is a terrible way to treat someone, let alone a friend.

I fucking hate this so much. I hate this so fucking much, but I can't continue to stay silent anymore while my integrity is continuing to be misconstrued and people keep getting hurt. This statement details my experiences while living with Noir Enigma (@/thenoirenigma) when I was homeless.

My Experience w/ Noir Enigma

01/20/2025 I’m writing about my experience with thenoirenigma, or Noir Enigma. His partner, AJ Fox (pahnita), will be included in this statement, but I want to make clear that I don’t harbor anything ...

I am disabled, in pain and cannot stand up to cook, but I still need to eat this evening.

All of my money just went to paying rent. If anyone could spare $50 for food and medicine it would be appreciated.

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people
