“They took my cousin. He informed them he is a US citizen and his passport was in his pocket. We don’t know where they took him.”
This isn’t about deporting undocumented immigrants this is about going after people who are not white!

What gets me about those people is that they're shitty people *on purpose* and lean into it and take pride in how shitty they can be.

They'll do nothing but make please for fascism with decorum.

"I don't watch cable news!"
"So... where did you hear that?"
"My mother in law told me!"
"Where did she hear that?"
"Why are you helping Trump?"
"...so you got it from cable news and now you're deflecting."

I'm not sure. They always insist they don't watch cable news, which is where Rachel Maddow used to tell them what to think.

No, but it's sad that you could fill every square of that BINGO card in about three minutes on this site talking to one liberal.

No, I don't think state violence is funny at all. I'm just pointing out that shitlibs handwringing over it happening now don't seem to give a shit when their team is in charge and sending pigs commit violence against the public. Under Biden we saw them doing it to students protesting genocide.

Like, fine, curate your own feed. But to just block everyone because someone with too much time on their hands made a list of all the people they don't like? They're usually the most juvenile or reductive BS lists, labeling anyone they disagree with as "Terrorists" or whatever.

Would it be better if they were being tear gassed by their local police department instead?

Asked for evidence, then blocked for providing it. Typical shitlibbery.

It was reported on at the time. Donna Brazile has confirmed it. She saw all the paperwork. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Honestly the primary was stolen long before that. Hillary's campaign paid off the DNC's debts in exchange for control of the party ahead of the primaries. She essentially crowned herself the nominee before the polls opened in Iowa. They just had to wait for the convention to make it official.

Where's the outline & character backstories, what sets everything in motion, who is the narrator, what style does the narrator use, what motivates the characters throughout the story, how do the characters change throughout the story, and how should the reader feel @ the end? But you had the "idea."

I love when people tell a writer, "I have an idea for this book. You see, [basic premise that could turn into a dozen different stories]. So you write it and we'll split it 50/50." I always wanted to be like, "Oh, so *I* do 100% of the work and you do what, exactly? How do you contribute half?"

"Oh, we'll make the bill be one thing on the surface but something else under the hood so that no matter what, you can't vote ON the bill without appearing to be a piece of shit." because the people who write the bills are already proudly pieces of shit. American governance in a nutshell.

The part that really sucks is that they're making decisions that will have long-lasting ripple effects on humanity, they don't care, and the effects they're having are almost universally incredibly negative and outright destructive.

Oh, it's been obvious to me for decades that they can't think beyond this quarter's profits. "What do you mean stripping the company for assets means it will go out of business? Look at the line on this graph!"

Right, which is going to mean that people will find it harder to make a living from art, which means they'll have to spend much of the time they now spend creating making money another way, which means less real art will be made.

It's because they just think of things in terms of "product." "What's the laziest way for me to have a product to sell for the most profit?" They can't see beyond this quarter's profits.

The piece that I'm still not seeing is that if they take the human artists out of the equation, where do the cool new ideas come from? It's usually the arts that push tech forward. Now tech is saying, "Fuck you, artist, you're not needed."

It's a giant environmental disaster that's profiting off of the poverty of artists, and we're supposed to give a shit if those billionaire assholes can make even MORE money? Give me a break!

And now we have Nick Clegg in the UK arguing that AI companies having to ask artists for permission to train on their art and compensate them is unreasonable, because the AI companies want to make their money without having to ask permission. It's ridiculous. AI art is not needed. It's not even art.

Hey now, think of all the people who wouldn't be here if their dads couldn't get it up.

I'm not opposed to technological advancement. I'm just opposed to ripping off creatives and calling it "progress." It's not, it's just theft. The only problem these AI tech bros are trying to solve is how to get the value of creatives' labor without paying for that labor.

YouTube took away the "block" feature. They only offer "hide from your page," which does NOT stop them from interacting with you anywhere else on YouTube.

Or as if people who appreciate various art forms can "adapt" to the literal process of creating art being subverted just to make billionaires into trillionaires while human expression and creativity dies.

Right now it's the MAGAts in the YT comments under Top Music Attorney's video talking about Trump firing the head of the copyright office, which he legally can't do. They're all gloating because "AI is the future, adapt or die," as if artists can simply "adapt" to their livelihood being stolen.
