The NPCs have finally realized that "It's just a tool" doesn't work and they're now arguing "but Facebook's algorithm uses AI too!" Okay 1) that's analytical, not generative AI, and 2) Facebook is also evil man

So apparently that HWA pro-AI newsletter also uses Indigenous water rights issues as a prop, trivializing the activism by Indigenous peoples to protect our water including specific anti-data centre actions. I guess they figured why not alienate Indigenous horror writers while they’re at it?

“Sure. Sure. Yes, we know AI is using up resources. So does driving a car or a planes so does building a new home. So do a lot of things. Humans have always used up Earth’s resources and usually not nicely. There are reservations and other Indigenous communities in Canada that have never had clean water and have been ravaged by pipeline construction. But somehow that’s been okay for the past fifty or a hundred years, and very few people scream about that. But suddenly, AI is the enemy, not everything else we’ve been doing all along. Suddenly YOUR water might not be clean, so it’s a Big Deal”.

“Neighbours tell me that people are still coming to our house in black vehicles. The UP Police are also still visiting our house. My daughter and I have shifted to another location. She studies in Class 10, and I used to teach students. I don’t know what our future holds now.”

Big strong Prime Minister of the most virile and glorious superpower India sending cops and rapist mobs and his regime's Goebbelsian media after a child for abusing him.

I liked Nolan's interpretation of Circe as a frazzled survivor with horrible PTSD and a justified contempt for soldiers/men. She's often portrayed as a seductress who wants to ruin men. But like, if that was true why the fuck would she live on a little island? Girl wants to be left alone.

This is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot

It's so cool how all the reportage of Elon Musk is unattributed "BREAKING: Elon Musk says that Grok will jerk you off cazy style within a week," while he's out there hiring lawyers to defend child porn and egging incel nerds and Nazi troglodytes into the day of the rope.

He dumped water we needed in LA to fight the Palisades wildfires into the Central Valley just to fuck us over and it wasted water they needed for the grow season. No one remembers this either. It's insane.

It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

Trump has denied Democrat-led states from $250 million in disaster aid that would have been approved by every previous president, including Trump in his first term. He rejected most requests even after FEMA confirmed damage met financial thresholds for receiving aid. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Half of all action TV shows used to be about the hero coming into town, finding one of these rich guys and his yokel goon squad, and kicking his ass with karate or an invisible motorcycle.

Most rural areas have a ruling class. And they want cheap unfree workers & to pass their fiefdoms on tax-free forever. It ain't rocket science. The fact that we're scared to talk about THAT, ime, is what's costing us a lot of rural voters!
