I love this.

Like many artists, I am struggling with AI. My reaction to this has been to create an entirely human made product for other humans to make! You can buy a little paper house. It arrives in a bright envelope with a bit of art and silliness. More here: www.lucycorrina.co.uk/shopproducts...

Let’s be crystal clear: The government, the military, the police should not have these, ever. They will turn these against everyone, starting with immigrants, then Blacks and other minorities, against dissenters and protesters. This is dark shit, and we have been warned where it leads. End it now.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

AI hollows out humanity in ways you might not expect, like listing that your child’s wit is as sharp as a bee sting, her illustrating eye and crafting skills at 11 will put her well onto a road to success should she choose that path, and her disappointed gaze has the power of Jupiter’s gravity.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Who’s looking for a kickass guitar for themselves or someone else as we head toward Christmas?

Model making going on out there, folks!

I need multiple corridors, and this leftover styro piece is big enough for several, so I measured out two more, deeply scribed the edges with a carpenter pencil, & gently scribed some of the interior grid marks. (Having corridor pieces means I dont have to use multiple 2x2 tiles to make a corridor.)

Uh, isn’t accepting a pardon an admission of guilt? Accepting should be a disqualifying event for future government employment/office holding.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately how jargon is used to gatekeep in hobbies. Nothing groundbreaking here, but it’s worth remembering that deploying jargon is a way to exclude, and even taking the time to explain the jargon can make people feel singled out. Folks, be better about speaking inclusively.

I still think AI systems should be paying me 150k per copyright violation. People keep asking me 'what laws do we need for AI?' and I keep saying 'enforce the fucking ones we already have!' There are copyright laws that should be being enforced right now that just... aren't. B/c it's billionaires.

Plaster those "100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes!" blurbs on every piece of marketing you can find and bump those numbers up even more, let's make this HAPPEN.

LAIKA’s ‘Wildwood’ is tracking a $15-20M domestic box office debut after a skyrocket of pre-sale tickets. This will potentially make LAIKA’s biggest opening weekend ever. (Source: @GlobalBoxOffice on X)

I don't know how people can vote for a guy who platforms an abusive mother who married her daughter's rapist. But I'm pretty sure that the people who *can* vote for Vivek Ramaswamy after this are actually very bad people.

Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.
