(NBC News) — It is now the least rewarding time to be a worker in the U.S. economy since the government started keeping track. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

Reminder: Even pirating the new Harry Potter HBO show helps put money in Rowling's pocket, because studios track illegal downloads and use those numbers to attract licensees for products and brand deals. Don't watch it. Not even one episode. Not with a free trial, not via a torrent site.

You cannot say this and remain in office. He has to go. And Democrats have to make an enormous deal out of threats to exterminate an entire group of people.

Someday soon hes going to be over and trans folk will continue to exist and, hopefully, thrive, for as long as there are humans on this planet.

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

Sony has responded to a digital games lawsuit by arguing that players don't actually own the games they buy Its lawyers say they are licensed rather than sold

Really succinctly puts the tired tropes and missteps of mascot horror into perspective, especially with the angle that many want to convey lore and story like Bioshock without understanding WHY it worked in Bioshock.

Go watch Clue. Go watch Rocky Horror. Fuck it, go watch Congo. Enjoy that delightful performer and remember him for his art. The joy he brought—we should all be so lucky.

Okay. Here's the deal. We have lost... pretty much the unanimous moral foundation of our nation. The imperative now. The only way forward. Is to be the kind of person Dolly would have been proud of.

Nancy Drew stumbles into a major clue that will hopefully get her started on the case properly, as Kaela and I continue our read through of her first (public domain) adventure. youtu.be/sax_GuoHdaE?...

Humans are capable of such beautiful and magnificent things. Don't let bagillionaires tell you that you need a robo-crutch to be what you were born to be. They don't know shit. You can do it all your own. I believe in you.

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

buy books borrow books talk about books you love lend books to friends books are great

These are rookie numbers. We can get these numbers up.

Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

The Wachowski sisters didn't use 120 cameras to film one shot just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

SOME GOOD NEWS! continue to contact your reps re: KOSA and the KIDS Act, but also give yourself a pat on the back if you called! Your voice mattered!

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

watching people you love and respect cutting corners to keep creative pace with an idiot machine, starve themselves to keep pace with a new, more impossible ideal, it is overwhelmingly sad some days and no one is truly immune to it

I fucking hate AI almost as much as I hate the sniveling asshole billionaires and shithole corporations who have all forced it into every conceivable spot in our lives. It literally makes everything worse and it makes us worse and I fucking hate it.

This makes for a total of 18 #artfight submissions this year, and the last is to the awesome knadire.bsky.social in defense with this cool halloween amalgamate! Phew, I'm taking a break! #af2026 #artfight2026 #teamcomedy

We've been in the ripping-the-copper-wiring-out-of-the-walls era of society for awhile now. There's no attempts to make anything better. There's no attempts to make anything people want. It's just syphoning gas out of cars and burying people in gambling debt from rigged betting markets.

Why is everything so transparently evil now?

on my way home from work, I saw a lost/discarded doll in the middle of the road that had clearly been run over a few times. my brain went "damn, that's so gender" and then i ran it over too 😞

These things are on opposite sides of the planet but 100% connected. Human security demands we keep coal and gas in the ground.

Even if AI wasn't unethical or environmentally destructive, I still wouldn't want to use it for my art. Generative AI stinks. It's soulless and boring and lacking.

Worth listening for anyone who heard our Public Remains episode on Manly Wade Wellman, coincidentally released only a little before this. And if you haven’t heard The Monsters Are Due and enjoy The Twilight Zone, please correct this - I may or may not have evoked Peter by accident in the last intro.

Generative AI is an attempt by tech bros to own our voices, our experiences, our creativity, our hard work. They want to feed our creative efforts into a machine so that they can profit off of it. AI art is hollow and soulless and without human intention.

Me and the boys are finally tackling some of Manly Wade Wellman’s short fiction blind. The name may have drawn us in but the writing is what will keep us, so does the narrative match the reputation? youtu.be/ZCCUrkuHiQc?...
