This is on the heels of a mass deportation rally held in Indiana. I worry that these rallies will be popping up all over. The only thing that gives me any comfort here is they still don't feel comfortable disclosing their locations to these events.

Greg Bovino, who oversaw ICE's reckless/violent tactics in Minnesota that resulted in 2 American citizens being fatally shot (among other awful things) and then got demoted, will be a keynote speaker at the New York Young Republican Club.

Daniel Poynter, leader if Save Heritage Indiana, recently said this: "We are distilling this into a potent template, and, you know, a budget and a checklist that any patriot in the country can use to host commander Bovino in their state." He also said attendees from FL and KY want to host rallies.

The New York Young Republican Club had people at the recent Remigration Summit in Portugal that featured Bovino as a speaker. Presumably there was networking. The President of NYYRC - Stefano Forte - also spoke at the neo-fascist conference.

Webtoon has never been a stranger to AI. www.koreajoongangdaily.com/lifestyle/cr... www.cbr.com/webtoon-cont... "Creators Do Not Know How WEBTOON's New AI Technology Has Been Trained"

Webtoons going all in on AI.

Word of mouth is basically the only way small team projects can gain any traction. People hate ads with a passion, and ignore creators when they pitch their own work. But people will give something a chance when a person they know says they like something

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Okay. It's friday, and the end of the month, and two weeks away from my birthday, and I have about 8 bucks to my name. Which blows, since I kinda have ten days to come up with 1500 to cover my rent, plus food, plus gas plus the shipping for all the orders currently stuck waiting to go out of here.

We got enough for his shots! Now we urgently need to pay off the medical debt so the hospital won't withhold IV fluids in the future and so Ammar isn't forced to stay in the hospital's dangerously hot courtyard any longer. www.tumblr.com/murderbot/81...
