Bluesky seems to work better as an alternative.
Until they run out of VC money.
Then the enshittification happens, to pay the bills.
Super sketchy Russian software.
Sexy imported furniture
The Church of Christ is much more culty and insular than other denominations. I almost lost some friends to them, but they managed to escape.
I almost feel there is only one state: Pennsylvania. It seems like it’s the lynchpin to victory.
I just looked. Do they not ship to the U.S.?
And it smells bad, too. Gotta keep it realistic.
How long has she been black?
Fantastic and interesting article.
Even Harris is a Boomer Gen-X cusp. A late Boomer.
I think Kamala’s first line is:
“This ffff…”
Don’t believe this guy.
It’s going to take work. We need to vote, but also get like-minded friends to vote. Write letters. Drive people to the polls. Donate if you can. Volunteer if you can.
Democracy is a participation support. If you don’t participate, evil wins.
I came here for this. Thanks for delivering!
It seemed like a couple of Trump plants who ignored what they just watched.
Be careful to identify the antecedent to your pronouns.
I know some intelligent Trumpets, and the mental gymnastics they make is a Simone Biles level event.
Maybe that’s “evil” but they see themselves as “good” and doing the right thing.
I think it’s a third category. “Brainwashed”, or something.
That’s a big F’ng tent.
Better system for WHOM? Tech-bros that want to steal my content as their own?
I’m a writer, performing artist, designer, and illustrator. I have thought about copyright quite a bit. I have released some of my stuff into the public domain, as well as the Creative Commons. If you want to use my work, you may - according to the licenses that I provide.
I also think copyright law is way out of whack. It should go back to - at most - life of author. This “life of author plus 95 years” is ridiculous. I lament that so much great work is being lost or forgotten because of the oppressive copyright laws - especially in the area of computer software.
But tech-bros that want my work to train their LLMs - they can fuck right off. There are legal thresholds that constitute “fair use” - Is it used for an academic purpose? Is it used for a non-profit use? Is the portion that is being used a small part or the whole thing? LLM software fail all of these tests.
They can slurp up the entirety of Wikipedia, and they do. But they are not satisfied with the free stuff. But they want my artistic creations, too, without asking. And they want to sell something based on my work, making money off of my work, without asking.
The couch thing was true all along!
