You are not โ€œbehind the timesโ€ if you donโ€™t use AI. This isnโ€™t computers overtaking typewriters or photography displacing illustrators or whatever else people compare it to.

This is worse, this feeds into the machine that wants you helpless. Stop letting them make you so

Almost finished coloring all the rooms for this piece. There will 15 rooms and I still need to draw some characters and add a few more details. But here are 4 rooms that I mostly finished. So tired but I have much fun working on this piece.

Libya is not a safe port. It never was. The captain and crew of NEXUS are not sailing there by choice but because Europe abandoned its legal and moral obligations and left them to face the consequences alone. We stand in solidarity with all who risk everything to uphold human rights.

Rojava Pushed to the Brink as Syrian Government Advances - UNICORN RIOT The reconstituted Syrian army recently launched a mass invasion of Rojava capturing up to 80% of its territory within two weeks.

The 'Rojava experiment' emerged from the Syrian Revolution as a political program to reorganize society according to the explicitly feminist and ecological concepts of democratic confederalism.

Rojava now faces total extinction in post-war Syria.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI โ€˜Expert Reviewโ€™ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsโ€”without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

Very glad to see this out in the world!

I contributed to the design and initial mapping a while back (as a consultant)

I hope this mapping of private companies pitching products to eu-LISA, Europol, and Frontex will bring old and new actors in the spotlight - and more investigations and advocacy!

I don't want to do a whole long rant on this, so I'll just say: the reason fossil fuels & other aligned incumbents don't want to transition to clean energy is that it will *damage their material interests*. And folks, they understand their own material interests. Really well!

Pentagon Refuses to Say If AI Was Used to Select Elementary School as Bombing Target Did the US military use Anthropic's Claude to select targets in its weekend operations in Iran, with devastating results?

I can't prove it yet but I know it in my bones: Claude caused the bombing of a school in Iran that killed 165 elementary students and staff

Boycott Anthropic. Boycott this entire industry/

The Meloni gov announced that the headquarters will move from Bologna to Rome, likely to gain greater control of the agency. Effectively banning new employment.

The agency director said the govtโ€™s decision resembles โ€œa dismantling rather than a relocation.โ€

Climate awareness dies in data darkness.
