I cannot tell you how big a deal it was to me to see funny women carrying and creating their own characters on SNL. When most of my favorite comedy groups had no women, just guys, it has been a joy to see Cheri, Molly, Maya, Anna, Kate, Sarah, Kristen, Ego, Amy, Tina and the rest own the show.

Reminder that you don't own the ebooks you "buy" on Amazon. They can take it all away from you with the click of a button, and if they decide to comply with "any mention of queer or trans lives is pornographic," they can digitally burn your whole library.

this is probably the strongest possible case and it is still extremely unpersuasive. you'll notice that they rely on everything but the words of the framers of the 14th amendment to make their case. i wonder why that is

Is it still too tinfoil hat of me to say that LLMs and image generators have been fascist disinformation tools from the start? If you can make a computer system that gets math wrong and then sell that system as a necessity for everyday life, you're abandoning the concept of fact altogether

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau steps in when Americans have been ripped off by big banks or corporations. It has returned more than $20 billion to consumers since it was founded over a decade ago. Now the world’s richest man is bragging about ending it.

Can't believe the amount of heat we used to get for downloading an mp3 when every tech company is downloading the sum total of human expression to sell a scromited version back to us

Fascism is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan Muslim refugees who helped USA against the Taliban—but now issues an Executive Order accepting white Afrikaner South Africans as refugees to the USA. It was never about justice or national security. It was always about advancing white supremacy.

“In Germany in the 1930s, scientific institutions and societies failed at every level to offer any significant resistance to Nazism. …The scientific community needs to speak up – not just for the sake of science, but of human decency, dignity and morality.” www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/scie...

Musk’s reaction to to Kanye plugging swastika merch on his platform is just to laugh He’s fully let go of trying to maintain any illusion that he cares about this stuff happening on X.

Fascists always seek to remake arts and culture because these are the spaces that incubate freedom of expression, liberation of identity and openness of mind.

Most of the big destructive moves that Trump and Elon have made only relate to what they personally care about. Elon hates USAID bc they fought apartheid, and Labor bc his workers are unionizing. Trump loves fancy parties and renaming things. And they hate DEI bc they’re racist. Pretty simple shit!

Imagine if the entire DC media was reporting on Musk and Trump with the ferocity and velocity of WIRED these past three weeks. IMAGINE what we would know now that we don’t.

No one elected Elon Musk. As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences. We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

Hey. Cherish your fellow creators and lift one another up if you can. Especially if their craft is different from yours. There are already enough ignorant types trying to devalue creative fields. The best way to combat it is to have solidarity and support those who support you.

The sad truth about these guys is that they really only have one plan, and it's been this way my entire life. Just let Republicans destroy things until voters have no choice but to vote democrat. That's it. Basically, just rub their own voters' faces in someone else's shit. It's fucked up.

a little scary how things are becoming less and less friendly to long distance travel. I envisioned my adult life full of traveling to see family and friends, but until now money was usually the obstacle Never thought transportation SAFETY would become a serious issue

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do
