I think a good way to think about the current moment is understanding white supremacy as a spectrum with passive acceptance as the status quo out to actively arguing for global genocide.

It is worth noting that the writer of that HWA newsletter telling people to embrace AI, has an AI based coaching app they are selling

Pretending you don't see a difference between AI that counts beans and AI that steals novels is a doltish, peevish stance. Cannot believe @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social ran this apologia for the plagiarism machine.

There is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

love to see it

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

just wanna remind everyone that ppl like me that make $20k or less per year are the majority. anything that says otherwise is false.

I primarily make comics for folks that work their butts off & make $20k per year. Obviously, anyone can enjoy them, but it def hits different.

There was a short story I read about pets gaining sentience and human speech and when they started wanting things from their humans like an education etc people started releasing their pets so they wouldn't have to deal with them as equals.

“People who say they like animals more than people are not good people. They think they have a deep well of compassion but really they just want a relationship of unequal status”

But yeah like I said, I guess I gotta be a tap dancing AIPAC shillcoon to be considered Black excellence. How shameful.

This is Massive Attack's response to what happened in Singapore, posted on their Instagram page. Good on them.

Black people have to lock in to protect ourselves and communities. What that man did on Jan. 6—and everyday since—was signal a second redemption. The reign of terror wrought on Black people at the turn of the century was devastating. So much so that we don’t even know the half of it.
