Describe the economy in a single sentence

When listing Target Corp‘s many failures over the last 2 years, please don’t forget that here in Minnesota, home to their effin’ HQ, they allowed 🧊 to hunt their own employees in their stores and stage their terror attacks on the surrounding neighborhoods from Target parking lots.😡

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

Turns out Ko-fi is blatantly allowing bots with galleries full of GAI, specifically says not to report them unless there's specific illicit depictions (the same guidelines actual art has to follow basically.) Anyone care to put a word in with me? ko-fi.com/survey

OS level age verification is a Meta lobbying project Pass it on

Tempted to make a zine 100% why I’m so damn sleepy and then another about why I’ve been MIA for years. Not sure anyone wants those though

As a former library employee, even simply moving the books to another area of the book, and the shelvers taking them back to be scanned and reshelved! That counts too! It counts as eyes/hands on the book and needs/uses of said book

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

Back at it today, from 5-8 pm 💕🌷💕 Come say hi 🌈 I likely won’t be here tomorrow, so come while you can ✨

1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state. They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic. Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too. The latest from our writer S. Baum.

Obligatory meme

Mathematician & NASA 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳 Katherine Johnson died #OTD in 2020. She was instrumental in the success of the first US manned spaceflights, calculating complex trajectories enabling humans to reach orbit & land on the moon. Her story was told in 𝘏𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘍𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 (book/movie). #WomenInSTEM #BHM

I’ve been m.i.a and I wanna explain why, but simply don’t have the spoons. Just know I’ve beeen dealing with a lot of bullshit, and fighting to stay making art anyway

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

Man what the fuck, they so clearly understood that nobody wanted this, nothing is even close to the level that Pinterest is in terms of finding images, there's nothing even close Why do this when everything AI is trending downwards and imminently crashing

There are so many sticker manufacturers available the don’t support ice. Don’t use Sticker Mule, EVER.

I hope one day to write some stories or games to show what it’s like to live as a chronically ill person, esceciallg an ambitious one. My body and mind nerfs me, even with what supports I have. I’d be leagues ahead of here by now, if not for that

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

Couldn't ask for a better illustration of my point. Also the links to donate to everyone are in the thread.

genuinely stunning image

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

ICE funding expires January 30. Call Congress to say whether you think it should be continued. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

All I really wanna do is make things, support people who make things, cultivate community, and have a nice cozy home with my partner 💗 It shouldn’t be a tall ask 😵‍💫

Decided to paint the outer white area all the way to bring the light focus on the wave. Wip

How Your Private ChatGPT And Gemini Chats Are ‘Sold For Profit’

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints. Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI. We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think. stuff like this maybe
