It is not an easy time to be independent trans journalists. But what we do is also more important than ever.
Please help us keep doing it, and support our winter fund drive as you can.

Stop talking about artists like we aren't people.
"It exists now, there's no going back" is untrue. It is deeply untrue, stop carrying water for billionaires. Stop being antihuman.
"All are is derived from other artists." Apprenticeship and deep appreciation leads to more art. That's not ai.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Gonna be very honest, the methods required to see some real differences is gonna reflect what a certain group back in the civil rights movement were doing in the 60s. In fact you’re gonna have to take some notes from a certain individual who shares a name with a certain famous plumber’s brother.
not to sadpost but like
the incredible coordination of so, so many people, in what to vote for, who to elect, where to show up, how and what to protest, boycotting so hard companies lose stock, marches with hundreds of thousands, millions of people, awareness campaigns, all achieving like... nothing

Watching people “discover” environmental racism, and then double down on doing it has been depressing.
It’s so wild how the wealthy are destroying the Amazon that potentially has the cure for all the cancers in favor of an Amazon that’s creating new types of cancers

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Keep calling your reps, remind them that the midterms are less than a year away and that you'll primary them if they support any of these.
looking at the bills and talking to folks, these are the most actively threatening among this batch that will be present during Dec 2's hearing
House KOSA's audit policy is the one aspect im a little shaky on and havent found any more authoritative writing on, but felt should still be mentioned

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
