It’s So Crazy How You Can Measure The Shifts In Culture Based On Which Race Ariana Is Pretending To

Just an extremely Normal thing to say

Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.

Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.

Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.

Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.

Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.

Reminder these are people.

Btw, does anyone know if there’s a nightshade/glaze type program for text?

I realize that’s kind of a big ask since it’d have to cover more ground — text on websites, on saved documents, etc. — but I’m wondering if it exists.

"i'm tired of seeing-" use your filters.

"but there was an icky ship-!" use your filters.

"i don't like that tag-" use your filters.

don't like what you're seeing? use. your. filters.

I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like

can't format a work email? templates

don't know how to write a resume? templates

writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates

Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol

"Transgender rage is more powerful than the courts.

Transgender love is more hopeful than the law.

We have always been here and no "ruling" can eradicate us!"

Hey. Take my hand. I feel like if 4chan can afford to keep running since 2009 despite having an unmarketable shitty userbase then whatever may happen to tumblr will not be our fault.

“Appeal to a wider audience” is corporate lingo for “strip more themes from a piece of media so it’s safer and more sanitized for investors”

CALLING ALL AUTHORS AND ENJOYERS OF STORIES.

AN AUSTRALIAN PUBLISHING HOUSE IS TRYING TO FORCE THEIR AUTHORS TO SIGN AMENDED CONTRACTS THAT ALLOWS THE PUBLISHER TO FEED THEIR WORKS INTO A GENERATIVE AI AND UTILISE ANY RESULTANT OUTPUT WITHOUT LIMITATION.

On 5th March 2025, news broke that they want the right to "reproduce, use, adapt and exploit the work in connection with the development of any software program, including, without limitation, training, testing, validation, and the deployment ifba machine learning or generative artificial intelligence system."

This is fucking outrageous. This means that the authors original ideas will be used to generate "new" stories, which the publishing house will own all the rights to, and which the author will have no rights to and will see no financial return for. This is genuinely the most outrageous proposal I've ever seen from a publishing house.

The company is Black Inc Publishing.

Their email address is enquiries@blackincbooks.com

How about we let them know exactly how opposed to this idea the wider public is.

If you're Australian and you email them: fantastic.

If you're not Australian and you email them? EVEN BETTER. Make sure you let them know what country you're emailing from. Let them know how far news of their atrocious idea has spread.

Publishing Houses should be standing AGAINST the rot that is AI, and instead, Black Inc wants to exploit their authors in exchange for a cheap buck. Let's NOT let this happen without a riot.
