⚠ PSA to artists and clients on #VGen about a Discord scam going around!! ⚠ a scammer is scraping profiles (both artists and clients) to make fake discord accounts impersonating them, then reaching out to people they've worked with in the past who have their discord info publicly visible

Public schools in Utah banned a best-selling Jodi Picoult novel and ordered all copies destroyed. So ... Picoult arrived at a Salt Lake City high school this weekend with 600 copies of the book. And she gave them all away, for free. "Applause and cheers erupted." www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

Author Jodi Picoult came to Utah with a surprise: 600 free copies of her bestselling novel banned from public schools

Picoult encouraged Salt Lake Book Festival attendees to give their copy to a teen who might “need to read it.”

Hits the nail on the head about GenAI, Epic and Tim Sweeney. There is nothing good about GenAI. NOTHING. It benefits no-one except already-rich techbros who don't want to put in the effort of learning a craft. They'd rather steal and put thousands out of work than lose even a tiny bit of profit.

This week Epic Games decided "programming is hard' so they're just gonna vibe code things instead apparently. It's going... well, you know. @nickjcal.bsky.social's latest episode of Unpacked is out now.

Please make sure you spread the stories debunking this as far and wide as you did the stories claiming it was true. No one is immune to propaganda, viral apocrypha, none of it. But you *can* say, "Hey y'all, I got *got* and that wasn't true." Be about it for information, not just engagement. 💖

Every time somewan tells me AI is the future or AI is inevitable I will stare them down and show them articles like this. It's literally killing people and the environment. This was preventable. This doesn't need to happen. And yet the bigger ups let it. I fucking hate this timeline.

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

Family encouraged me to start a GFM to help with my hand. I would love to be able to draw pain-free again, but even just getting to a point where it's manageable would be win. Any shares greatly appreciated www.gofundme.com/f/help-emi-w...
