When I said that genAI is inherently fascist, this is what I meant -- not just that only fascists are making use of genAI, but that genAI has a specific aesthetic that is now inseparable from modern fascism. Both genAI and fascists are anti-art, and as such they are ideologically aligned.

Both Trump and @governor.ny.gov are pushing anti-mask policies. Far-right media is celebrating Hochul’s plan because it will increase punishments for “obstructing traffic.” How can Democrats expect voters to trust them to oppose Trump when they’re signing on to his playbook?

When I first moved to New York the first place I ate was Brooklyn Flipsters. Solid burger joint and had good wings too. Closed years ago and last time I was in the neighborhood it was a damn Starbucks

Stuff like this is perfect because it shows how utterly devoid of creativity genAI evangelists are. Great you recreated a photo that already exists in a drawing style that only has currency because of who you're stealing it from giving the world something with absolutely no value or meaning.

I attended a library vendor AI demo/upsell today and I wish I could explain to them that everything they are selling could be achieved by hiring like two more people in our library

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

The difficulty of this current era is so much should be a major scandal that nothing ends up a major scandal. Rampant corruption becomes a norm rather than an exception and it gets harder to break through with any one thing.

When RFK Jr was allowed to push his anti-vax horseshit in Samoa, an island of 200,000 people, 5700 got measles and 83 people died — many of them children. Scale that up to the US population and it’s 9 million and 134,000 dead — many of them children. If you love your kids, get them vaccinated.

New Yorkers, please call your state rep, state senator, and Kathy Hochul and tell them NO MASK BANS. This garbage proposal would kill people. We're on the verge of a measles epidemic and this terrible governor is pushing this? NO. Find your reps here: reps.fyi gothamist.com/news/gov-hoc...

The situation at the FDA: new management insisting the water at the main campus is safe to drink, and around 10,000 returning staff—who have received warnings for months that the water may be contaminated with the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease—have no reason to believe them.

Cuomo's defunding of MTA led to one of the worst transit crises in the history of the MTA. And when Byford was appointed to fix the problem Cuomo created, Cuomo diluted his power. Just a reminder when people start citing Cuomo's record on infrastructure as something endorsement worthy.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

As I’m coming up on a year since my own layoff I definitely feel for these folks. The job market was already bad. And it’s about to get worse for everyone. I hope more people are starting to see there are no “safe” jobs/industries with the people we have in charge. apnews.com/article/doge...

We’ve got a friend in Wisconsin who said she wasn’t worried about potential cuts to Medicaid because she and her 3 kids don’t need it - they’re on BadgerCare. She was stunned when I told her they were all on Medicaid. Protecting people from shame by renaming MA has definite downsides.
