A panel from the graphic novel V for Vendetta. A blond girl looks on as a group of uniformed men march, bearing black flags with thr letter N on them. Text: "IT WAS ALL THE FASCIST GROUPS, THE RIGHT-WINGERS. THEY'D ALL GOT TOGETHER WITH SOME OF THE BIG CO PORATIONS THAT HAD SURVIVED. 'NORSEFIRE' THEY CALLED THEMSELVES. I REMEMBER WHEN THEY MARCHED INTO LONDON. THEY HAD A FLAG WITH THEIR SYMBOL ON. EVERYONE WAS CHEERING. I THOUGHT THEY WERE SCARY"

Where is the Palestinian Martin Luther King? I've heard said on more than one occasion, never accompanied by any self-reflection as to what kind of society necessitates a man like that, nor what that society ultimately did to him before his posthumous veneration.
A panel from the graphic novel V For Vendetta. The panel shows a gloved hand reaching for a Guy Fawkes mask hanging on a hook. The text, austensibly coming from a radio, reads: "MR.KAREL WENT ON TO SAY THAT IT IS THE DUTY OF EVERY MAN IN THIS COUNTRY TO SEIZE THE INITIATIYE AND MAKE BRITAIN GREAT AGAIN."

full alt-text in next image. This is a screenshot from a random google result for "Windows swap stereo". Top of the document higlights "Windows 11 includes built-in accessibility features that make channel swapping straightforward without requiring additional settings. It then goes on at some length to explain how to do things that explicitly say "This doesn't directly swap channels" and "this doesn't swap them completely".
One of the hallmarks of Western liberalism is an as- sumption, in hindsight, of virtuous resistance as the only polite expectation of people on the receiving end of colonial- ism. While the terrible thing is happening-while the land is still being stolen and the natives still being killed-any form of opposition is terroristic and must be crushed for the sake of civilization. But decades, centuries later, when enough of the land has been stolen and enough of the natives killed, it is safe enough to venerate resist- ance in hindsight. I

The Warhammer 40K book "Day of Ascension" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. The cover shows 3 humanoid alien hybrids with pink deformed heads and 3 arms, brandishing weapins over an industrial cityscape. If you know the WH40K lore, you would know these are Genestealers, with their emblem graffitied onto the scenery.
Every out-of-print volume that disappears into a scanner may be the last copy accessible to anyone outside an Al lab's servers. Rare, foreign-language, and low- circulation titles - many never digitized elsewhere - vanish from physical existence after a single scan. Who controls humanity's textual heritage is no longer a question anyone can afford to leave unanswered, especially as the push to build Al Data Centers accelerates the industry's resource acquisition at every level.
a short screen recording of the Avengers: Doomsday trailer. It shows Doom in a closeup profile, his mask just sticking out from under the hood, raising his head from a bent over position. He is silhouetted against a low sun with lens flare, in front of a body of water with maybe the silhouette of a battle ship? It's the cheesiest cheese that ever cheesed, and it looks AI as fuck.

צילומבך מפוסט הפייסבוק בקבוצה מפתחי משחקים | Israeli Game Developers Niv Sabach עזבתי את Playtika. הדבר הראשון שעשיתי היה לקנות רכב שטח, לצאת לטייל בארץ רק אני, אוהל שהרכבתי על הגג הרכב ומטבח קומפלט שבניתי. בהכנות לטיול הייתי צריך לבחור משחק קופסא, כי תנאי שטח זה תנאי שטח, לא לוקחים הכל. בטיול מצאתי את עצמי חוזר לאותו משחק קופסא, ונהנה כל פעם מחדש מההתלהבות של האנשים, היה במשחק אתגר וחוויה ממכרת. משחקי קופסא נולדו כדי ליצור ריגוש קבוצתי סביב שולחן. אבל שם, באמצע שום מקום, הבנתי שיום אחד אני אבנה למשחק הזה נשמה דיגיטלית כזו שתוכל להגיע לכל יוזר בעולם, לא רק לשולחן אחד באמצע המדבר. בזכות AI, אני היום בתהליכים להוציא את החלום הזה לאור. המשחק נאSur (מרובעים), והוא יצא לאוויר העולם בשבועות הקרובים. יכול להיות שיהיה גם אירוע השקה, stay Tuned! זה רק הפרק הראשון. אם בא לכם לעקוב אחרי המסע, תישארו איתי.
"We shouldn't be surprised that people are using AI to do this kind of thing, because the incentives and the infrastructure is built to encourage this kind of overproduction," University of Wisconsin-Madison professor of media and cultural studies Jeremy Morris told 404 Media. "This is a problem that's existed for as long as these platforms existed, so I don't think AI creates something new here. It just amplifies the amount that people can do."

Screenshot of a post on r/NoStupidQuestions Why do people donate to rich streamers? 23 upvotes 58 comments User PowerPlaidPlays: They are paying to support the stream, because people usually need to get paid to keep doing things. The shout out is just a bonus. If you tip a busker on the street, you are not paying for them saying thank you in return. User CottonSlayerDIY: Yeah sure. But if they are multimillionaires..? User PowerPlaidPlays: Why should entertainers stop making an income because they are successful? Do you factor how wealthy an actor or musician is when you decide to buy a album, movie, or t-shirt? Like, it's fine if you don't like streamers, I don't really ether, but this is just how the entertainment industry works. People like a thing so they pay to support it. I'm sure there are a lot of people who do factor this into who they decide to tip or whatever, but some people just go "I like the thing > we live in capitalism and people usually trade money for things they like > here

Pride Shabbat Blessing from an Ally - Ritualwell Blessed are you Adonai our God Who made us in your image Which knows no race nor gender nor sexual identity or orientation Blessed is the word pride Which is the consciousness of one’s own dignity To see oneself as completely whole in living as they were created to be Blessed is joy and pleasure in the physical, spiritual, emotional connection we feel in relationship to another Blessed is knowing and being and celebrating Blessed is allyship Truly seeing someone just as they are And how they’ve told you they want to be seen Blessed is allowing ourselves to be led Blessed is allowing ourselves to follow Blessed is the ability to transform, to allow for movement and possibility To create and re-create who and what feels most authentic today and tomorrow and into the future knowing that the possibilities are endless Blessed are you Adonai, who made me in your image which knows no form Blessed is limitlessness
During a Fresh Air interview in 2020, the project's creator, Nikole Hannah-Jones, said, "I think when we hear the word 'slave,' we think of slavery as being the essence of that person. But if you call someone an enslaved person, then it speaks to a condition. ... These people were not slaves. Someone chose to force them into the condition of slavery. And that language, to me, is very important, as is using the word 'enslaver' over 'slave owner' because these people didn't have a moral right to own another human being, even though the society allowed it."

These systemic dependencies reveal a key point: While AI superficially appears like another digital platform industry — providing services and products like ChatGPT and Claude — it is really more like a heavy industry. Every new AI user requires more computing power — what AI companies call “compute” — that in turn requires more energy and resources. Between 2010 and 2022, despite the extraordinary growth of big tech platforms, data center energy demand remained virtually static as those companies switched to more efficient “hyperscale” data centers. That all changed following the launch of ChatGPT; since 2022, energy demand of data centers has more than doubled. The International Energy Agency expects energy demand to more than double again by 2030 in its “base case” forecast. With AI, there are no economies of scale.

The Seattle-based group has started to widely deploy its in-house "MeshClaw" product in recent weeks, allowing employees to create AI agents that can connect to workplace software and carry out tasks on a user's behalf, according to three people familiar with the matter. Some employees said colleagues were using the software to automate additional, unnecessary AI activity to increase their consumption of tokens -- units of data processed by models.
