I don't care if the tech bros think it makes their service better, I want to be able to opt out. I want to be able to use Google search without consuming extra water for an AI summary I didn't ask for.
I wish people were as mad about AI being added without our consent to email, Word, etc. as they were that time Apple dropped a free U2 album on us.

I still have nothing in writing about my rescinded fellowship. Which means I'm in limbo. I can't offer or discuss my manuscript with agencies or publishers until SLQ puts their decision, intent & process in writing. Being in limbo is having a significant financial impact on me 😖

Sometimes I worry I'm growing numb to it. Then I see a photo that breaks me into a million fucking pieces
My little brother Omar and his cat, both killed by Israel.

This entire situation is so shameful. @1KarenWyld is an uncompromising advocate for humanity and justice for all oppressed peoples. She has been honest about the challenges of funding writing work in this economy. This is a devastating blow to a staunch Blak writer’s livelihood.

It is incredibly clear that Zionists are determined to erode the right to speak against genocide, to make it impossible to be an artist opposed to the mass slaughter of Palestinians, to your tax dollars being spent on the weapons.

The CEO of Spotify once said their #1 competitor isn’t Apple or Google, it’s silence… and I think about that every time I am forced to listen to someone else’s algorithmic scroll slop in public.
obsession with pro-noise cancellation and silence/headphones/no talking on speakerphone, watching videos etc in public is surely a fascist cultural victory. a sign of dark times ahead

Back to when Israel held onto Palestinian mail, then dumped it back 8 years later like it was lost luggage. Love letters, medical records, university acceptances all rotted in bags. Do you know how many lives fit inside those letters? How many people died waiting to hear back? The daily Israeli deliberate theft of time, memory, and dignity.
Replying to @SometimesPooh
I remember when in 2018 the Israeli occupation authorities handed a Palestinian post office in the West Bank sacks of undelivered mail that had been withheld since 2010.

the index entry for “white people” in Miles Davis’s autobiography is a truly beautiful thing
Apparently, Miles Davis, the beloved blаck jazz musician admired by many whіte people, said in a 1985 interview that if he had only one hour to live, he would spend it chоking a whіte man slowly.

this comic is structurally convoluted. the main guy is addressing "AI artists" leading into a new panel, but the new panel is a group of artists. the main guy is addressing nobody and the punchline exists devoid of context. its a good metaphor for the soulless nature of genAI
