worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

The Strib has identified him. Alex Pretti. Another 37-year-old executed for standing up for our immigrant neighbors. For shame. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Sources identify man shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti of south Minneapolis

The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Pretti, 37, has an address listed in south Minneapolis.

At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the man who was shot was a 37-year-old white man with no serious criminal history and a record that showed some parking tickets. Law enforcement sources said Saturday their records show Pretti had no serious criminal history.

I actually can and will judge people who are using environmentally devastating technology built on mass theft to create a fictional partner who does nothing but tell how great they are.

More people are considering Al lovers, and we shouldn't judge

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

I’m just gonna leave this here

A screenshot of a Tumblr post from sapphic-luthor that says:

I'm going to hold your hands when I say this and I am only going to be kind about it once: AI does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. It does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

Make friends with artists. commission somebody. Learn to draw yourself. Ask for a beta read. Try a writing partnership. Fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! It is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

Spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an Al to push out some soulless empty piece of "content" is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you've taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

I'm always surprised when people like me but also offended when they don't.

Screenshot of a tiktok direct message that reads: Hello dear! My name is Mary Neil, and I'm part of louis tomlinson PR team. I'm here to give you some important information about the imposters out there claiming to be him. louis wants to make sure his fans are aware that he would never randomly message anyone on Instagram or Facebook. It's against his management's policy, and honestly, he's just too busy for that! So please, let's put an end to these impersonators.louis tomlinson official Instagram account, the one with the blue tick (verified account), is the only one controlled by his team for sponsorship and management purposes. Let's keep it real and keep louis tomlinson online presence safe and secure.

I for one am excited for TikTok to show me a splashy "The US GOVERNMENT HAS DESTROYED EVERYTHING YOU LOVE" screen when I open the app next week followed by Donald Trump crawling through glass to get it back because it helped get him elected thus solidifying him as a HERO OF THE EVERYDAY AMERICAN.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.
