Professional writer organizations should not send out pro-AI propaganda in the form of tantrum-having "essays" to their members, and I don't think that's controversial.
Regarding The Pro-AI Tantrum In The HWA Newsletter
Today I, and every other HWA member, received the HWA newsletter in our inboxes. In that newsletter was an essay (“essay”) of pro-AI propaganda that made a number of specious points in …

We in the US have always been known as loud, boorish psychopaths, but even with that in mind Trump has really fucked our reputation in the world beyond repair, and there should be some kind of consequence for that also.
Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:
Memento (artemis) Morty 🌙@mementomorty.bsky.social · 12h agowe should hear MAHA out about this they might be onto something
Can’t stress how much I am failing to hydrate appropriately today.
Yes, granted, the Boomers really kicked the fall of this nation into gear, and their desperate need to cling to power means they’re still fully on their suicide run. But my generation (X) really doesn’t get enough credit for helping to keep the spiral spiraling.
I mean, isn’t that the dream of any paterfamilias?

Hey, it’s hard enough getting anything written in today’s world, but when your computer explodes , you’re truly fucked. Anyone who feels like kicking in a few bucks for a new laptop, I’d be forever grateful, and also inspired to produce the nastiest smut ever! buymeacoffee.com/flannigan4U

The technology has only been in the wider commercial sphere for a couple of years? If you genuinely believe people have completely lost the ability to function independently of it already, that’s more an indictment than an endorsement.
Charlie Stross@cstross.bsky.social · 19h agoMy answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
The thing that drives me up the fucking wall about this line of apologia for MAHA is that MAHA's strongest soldiers are not the desperately poor and uninsured, they're rich douchebags who shop at Whole Foods if Erehwon is unavailable.
Your Ad Here@cooluser354.bsky.social · 2d agooh my god no it does not. Canada has maha type cranks. The UK does. Japan does, Germany does, Sweden does, India does, France does IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MATERIAL CONDITIONS OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH YES ARE BROKEN MAHA IS A EUGENICS MOVEMENT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
Least shocking news ever- Eli Roth is a POS.
eric anders@ericanders.bsky.social · last yr.PSA that Eli Roth does not deserve your support, horror fans.
Absolutely perfect arc for Eli Roth to land on using AI. The hackiest of hacks. The horror Brett Ratner.
The push and pull between wanting more physical media and encouraging people to buy physical media and seeing “Kangaroo Jack Steelbook 4K restoration - $79.99”
It’s always weird to me when people make a big deal about the idea we refuse to let conservatives in. Of course they can come in, we don’t have the power to stop them. It’s just that by blocking them we force them to talk to each other and even they find themselves insufferable.
Ok, but seriously, have you ever met theater actors?!? NOT GUILTY!!
Pixie Casey@pixiecasey.bsky.social · 2d agoin insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...
Guaranteed this is going to be a measured, comprehensive look at the character.
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 2d agoFirst poster for Ryan Murphy's ‘MONSTER: THE LIZZIE BORDEN STORY’. The series follows Lizzie Borden who was accused of murdering her father & stepmother with an axe inside the family home. Releasing September 17 on Netflix.
So harried and exhausted by life I’m not even finding the time to be an unhinged pervert and that makes me sad.
I sympathize, being the designated “fat guy” in popular movies can involve a constant barrage of shaming and judgment, I’m sure. We suck at this as a society. And yet, Hill has long seemed like an insufferable douchebag and that’s a choice at this point.
Dan of the Year@downwithdan.bsky.social · 2d agoHe will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"
I know this is controversial in our modern times, but I think even people with pre-existing health conditions should not shit themselves to death because they ate a bagged salad.
At work I mostly just want to do my job with a minimum of hassle. I want to support my people and deal with any issues amicably. But I think because of that some people have no idea how much a certain part of me relishes the thought of going to war. I keep it in check…until I don’t…
I believe that there is more quiet support for this stuff in Hollywood than most would acknowledge but u do not believe for a second that any true celebrities are calling Jenny McCarthy on the telephone lol.

Also having finally seen the movie when you could remove Punisher from the movie and still have an entire movie but could not without MJ welpity welp Also these weirdos keep being weird about women

Well, in today’s least surprising news. Also, this should prompt you to ask, with all the ICE raids and associated horrors cutting swaths through the current workforce, how are agribusinesses getting their crops harvested?
Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 4d agoThe diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
The government officials shitting on Fauci and the Covid responders were all vaccinated. Dave's uncle was not. He suffocated to death on his own phlegm. Because that's how it kills you.
