Even if you ignore the insane power usage, and the IP theft, and the workforce damage, the amount of fraud and abuse that gen ai enables is inexcusable and inextricable from the technology as long as it exists.

This is what frustrates me so much about these articles: Propagating the narrative that large numbers of kids are faking disabilities is just going to result in a world where disabled people are *even more* scrutinized when they ask for accommodations!
My kids go to a "rich" public school. My daughter is 7 and cannot read; she is a sweet, caring, intelligent child, but if you spend a moment with her it is clear that she has ADHD an order of magnitude more serious than what you think of when you hear "ADHD." Anybody questioning her IEP can fuck off
"Rich kids are gaming disability accommodations to gain an unfair advantage" is actually very different from "America has an extra-time-on-tests problem" — and the author hasn't proved that either! Rich kids might just be more likely to be diagnosed.

there are *so* many excellent comics and shows from Japan that aren't for the shonen demographic--and more importantly--don't run in Weekly Shonen Jump

but nobody is surprised that these state apparatus systems that constantly protect and uphold sexual abuse and rapist pedophiles are openly looking for more ways to keep enforcing the sexual abuse machinery.

don't want to think of the cruelty and level of misogyny involved in telling a trans girl she can't make friends or do anything with other girls because she is insufficiently female. just a thing. the level of physical & sexual abuse this entails towards trans girls all the time

please keep to heart that each and every one of these attempts to eradicate trans women from public life, from professors to girl guides, is a form of misogyny so efficient in how it keeps the regime of sexual difference intact that it smoothly undercuts everyone else's rights

fontworks fonts are ubiquitous if you've played a video game or watched an anime coming out of japan in basically the past couple of decades (including my personal favorite (?), FOT Comet Std B), so huge news if things continue as-is
The Japanese game development scene might have a major font shakeup in 2026, as FontWorks gradually ceases their LETS game font licensing for companies in Japan:

A lot of what people imagine politically for this country can't actually happen under the current Democratic party. That's something that I don't see lots of people actually reckoning with. There is no way to do most of the things that some people want to do through the Democratic party.

It turns out that “fix your hearts or die” is not just an admonition meant for the overt bigots. It’s also a warning about what those overt bigots will do to everything you care about using your indifference about the minorities they target as cover.
