“This is not a victimless crime – generative AI competes with the people whose work it is trained on, robbing them of their livelihoods. The government must protect the UK’s creatives, and refuse to legalise the theft of creative work by AI companies.”
Grammarly should get fucked
Humble Bundle has been killing it lately (no pun intended). Their most recent offering is a 52 book horror collection which includes a dozen works by @sgj.bsky.social. Highly recommend. Also, maybe check out the Discworld bundle while you’re there.

Never miss a chance to tell my favourite science joke:
Q: What did Crick & Watson discover?
A: Rosalind Franklin’s lab book.
Thanks to Trump’s tax giveaways, Ticketmaster’s parent company paid $0 in federal income taxes last year, and made over $145 million – while overcharging Americans for concerts, sports, and more.
Your daily reminder that being in this country illegally is a civil offense, not a felony. Also, I thought they said "MASS DEPORTATIONS!" not "MASS CONCENTRATION CAMPS!"
The March 15, 2025, killing of Ruben Ray Martinez drew almost no public attention.
But Martinez is now the first known American citizen shot to death by federal immigration agents during President Trump’s second term. https://wapo.st/4lbpGYC
Fox News: New Jersey elementary school weighs renaming after Trump.
Naming a school in honor of a pedophile who raped children is the height of Republican hypocrisy.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
Happy International Women's Day! 12 days til we premiere on Shudder, the countdown is ON 🚨🚨🚨
Highest price ever for oil: $147.27 per barrel on July 11, 2008 right before the 2008 financial crisis.
Adjusted for inflation: $175 per barrel during the 1979–1980 oil crisis (if you're young Google it).
In one week of this Iran war oil is already over $100 a barrel.
We're in a lot of trouble.
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
Were they tubas or IEDs? Drummers or suicide bombers? Conductors or terror leaders? Apparently someone passed shitty intel that convinced Hegseth and the NSC team it was the latter for all three.
Team Trump, getting us from unreliable intel to kinetic actions to war crimes. Heckuva job, Petey.
Yesterday I said these guys idolize fictional villains because they aspire to be villains themselves and so far that theory’s holding up pretty well
The Ajinmoto chicken fried rice you can microwave that my dad gets from the freezer section was in this recall.
Ajinmoto is basically recalling most every frozen food they make, that have multiple brand names including Ling Ling.
Awesome database published by my @propublica.org colleagues where you can look up financial disclosures of over 1,500 of Trump's appointees. #NICAR26 data nerds will appreciate this one! projects.propublica.org/trump-team-f...
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...
Emmanuel Damas died in ICE custody after ICE failed to treat a tooth issue that turned into pneumonia.
ICE didn't even keep his family updated.
The Trump admin's cruelty knows no bounds.
I'm pressing with Senator Markey and Rep. Pressley to hold ICE accountable.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Ajinomoto Foods N.A. is recalling additional 33 million pounds of frozen ready-to-eat and not-ready-to-eat chicken and pork fried rice, ramen, and shumai dumpling products.
Dates for TJ's chicken fried rice, vegetable fried rice, Japanese-style fried rice, and chicken shu mai in the link. #recall
