So annoying. I just wanted to get a Steam gift card for a friend I'm seeing tomorrow but stupid GameStop can't activate them or whatever so I guess I can't get him a present. Oh well. Dinner should be fun anyway.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Ah, yeah. Going down a needle size was the right call. So much nicer on 6s than 7s. Now I just need to increase another 20-some rows, 78 stitches and then I can attach the contrast color.

Yay A plan to make buses free. Everyone I talked to who took the bus during COVID missed the free bus. At least it's free for students and minors but we should extend it to everyone

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

That’s why we partnered with local orgs Waters Meet and Spokane Community Against Racism to create spokane.food, an interactive map of places to get support for food insecurity, or give support, if you’re in a place to help.

This is a nice read. I have to work Saturdays so I couldn't make our local No Kings but I told people that there are other ways to resist and contribute than just showing up to the biggest flashiest protest so don't feel obligated to go if you're not up for it that day.
