NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

Cory Doctorow: exploding tech myths and championing human creativity

"corporate leadership is starting from the premise that AI has (or will) radically change the business, and they're working backwards from that premise to find the evidence to support this article of faith."

So how would you interpret your choice of album cover?

Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 8h ago

The other Beach Boys are feeding the goats. Mike Love, however, is suspicious of the goats. Mikes got some treats in his pockets, which he *could* give the goats, but, because he’s greedy and likes Mike Love far more than he could ever like goats, he’s decided to keep the treats for himself.

I'm not sure why we're posting about ai but I don't use AI in my writing, in my cover art, etc. I've had every feature that could automatically modify text in Word turned off for decades, and AI is just more of the same. Every edit lovingly done by hand.

working class histories being brought to life in the Potteries. Sounds fabulous.

Running for 3 days this August a brand new FREE film festival is coming to the Potteries that aims to celebrate the area’s working class history and culture via the medium of cinema.

A good academic opportunity here - please share.

Zi0s are shameless dem0ns....constantly lying about the Palestinian population ......according to their ideef murderers has allegedly increased.... The ss & Goebbels would struggle with this kind of propaganda to mask a holocaust.... #JizzraelIsATerr0r1stSt4te 👿 #DefDef2TheIdeef 🔻

This is brilliant, yet genocide is not the choice of all Israelis. Many want peace and justice for all their neighbours, not just the Jewish ones. Making Palestine your excuse for hating all Jews is just racism in a trendy t-shirt. Focus on the real enemy. #FollowTheMoney #BibiAndDonny #WarCrimes

Not telling anyone what their god should look or behave like. Just saying that if the relationship is dictatorial/transactional/aggressive - "worship Me, kill everyone who doesn't, and I'll let you take all their wealth plus give you a free Heaven pass" - you should get yourself a better god.

That's terrific. Plastic and paint are at least as good as most political comment you'll read from the tired hacks bolstering the status quo because they're comfy and scared.
