Interrogate who is telling you that creatives don't need collective bargaining because they're already SO RICH and lucky to be working in the arts at all. Fight for the continued existence of Unions so they'll be there to protect you when you're in a position to join.

as ever, if you ask people if they think art should exist for their enjoyment they will say yes, and then if you ask them if the people making the art should get paid for it they'll tell you "no that's a fake job"

One thing missing in a lot of talk about the shittiness of AI is how it's an element of a much larger issue created by the neoliberal hellscape that most of us live in. Ed captures this really well in these podcasts. Highly recommended listening.

My partner @toxiquefilmbro.bsky.social ran a stall at a job fair yesterday, getting students to pitch movie ideas and win prizes. They got a ton of beautiful, weird, personal, insane teenager-brain ideas…and also some ChatGPT cheating. The kids are (mostly) alright, but boy do I feel for teachers

For months, we have called on the studios to take action against #AI companies that built their models on mass theft of copyrighted works. We’re pleased to see Disney and Universal finally come off of the sidelines, and urge others to follow suit. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/b...

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

If I were a conspiratorial type, I'd say that this parade was being set up with the express intention of violently putting down the protests that will inevitably take place (which would also give the admin a pretext for further violence against the people)

Given that Marco Rubio is condemning NZ's decision to sanction Israeli ministers, and demanding we change our stance, perhaps we need to seriously reconsider military entanglement with the US. They're actively attempting to undermine our sovereignty in regards to foreign policy
