saw this post on fb that just about sums it up

a Facebook post captioned "How Taylor Swift's music sounds to me" accompanied by a photo of a piece of unseasoned, presumably boiled chicken on top of plain white rice.

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.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

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

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Bluesky T&S is just out here openly admitting that they're overworking their moderators and not fixing them enough time to actually properly review their reports, lol

it's not like they don't have the money! Bluesky is currently offering 200-300k+equity for SWE positions on their jobs website.

Aaron Rodericks @aaron.bsky.team · 2d

A single moderator reviews thousands of reports per year — often making a decision in under 30 seconds. Expanding the scope of what counts as “evidence” makes it much harder to act fairly and consistently. 2/9

Support Abi! The stupid US tariffs have robbed her of more than half of her usual sales and she really needs her savings for future medical costs! I can personally attest her products are both affordable and top-notch!

Chat is it a bad sign when the federal government wants the right to treat all journalists covering a protest as participants in said protest for the purposes of dispersal and arrest

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 2d

Govt. attorney wants language added to the TRO giving feds the ability to disperse an entire crowd, incl. journalists.

He cites people possibly "impersonating" journalists to cause chaos.

Plaintiff attys claim this could threaten journalistic purpose, i.e., to act as "the eyes" of a community.

If you live outside the US and need some cute disability aids, or even cute clothes/accessories, consider Abi's store. The jackass in chief here in the US is fucking up small businesses, and this is one of them. Bibi deserves the world for the amazing stuff they make, and she's an amazing person.

🌸Bibi🌸♿ (formerly bibicosplays) @bibiblossoms.bsky.social · 2d

I've never had sales be this bad since I started my business. All that's changed is customers having to pay a tariff up to 55% on average. Yes that's a lot. But it isn't my fault. Even with that additional increase. My products are still worth it for the quality.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

do you think the reason Sonic ended up in Radical Highway in the 3DS version of Sonic Generations was because Black Doom created so many than Sonic just ended up in a spare

cw/ police brutality This is what cops do with your tax money and they enjoy doing it. Laws do not protect you or hold the powerful accountable. They exist as a pretense for the thugs who enforce them to dole out violence on behalf of the state. ACAB means all because it's institutional.
