The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

Time to clarify something. When authors say “Unbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing. Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust. Unbound stole our money.

From the task force op in Minneapolis yesterday—an officer with the Brooklyn Park police department (badge 232) and the New Hope police department (badge 100). If you recognize either of these men or have a personnel list from these depts in your possession, please shoot us a message. Thanks!

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Of course the police are saying that, because they are (a) police in (b) Texas. This was a hate crime. Full stop.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Jonathan Joss (Comanche, White Mountain Apache) did not simply die from a gunshot. He was murdered in a homophobic, racist hate crime by his former neighbors. He died saving his partners life. Honor his legacy-- both queerness and Indigeneity are inextricable to why he was targeted.

The Dems have no level 4 & 5 because they have made themselves the party of opposition, yet they have the same funders as the Republicans, so the Ds are not allowed to do anything other than the occasional "1 step forward" after the Rs drag us ten steps back.
