The brothel brought in a new contract that let the company own the sex workers likeness forever, for the use in AI replication. Rancid.
HELL YEAH!! All workers deserve to be treated with respect and have a say in the terms of their employment. Sex workers are no exception.
So awesome to see the first sex worker union forming!

Fun fact: Al Capone funded milk pasteurization plants from his criminal revenue because his beloved niece died from drinking raw milk.
So if a notorious criminal is opposed to raw milk, maybe you shouldn't drink it.

An infant in New Mexico has just died from listeria.
Public health officials think it is because the mother drank raw milk during pregnancy.
I can imagine this family’s pain.
Please, please don’t drink raw milk. It is of no benefit whatsoever.

While the New Mexico Department of Health said it can't pinpoint the baby's exact cause of death, officials believe it could have been linked to the mother's drinking raw milk during pregnancy.

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

GOG did an AMA and they all but confirmed that they will continue using Gen AI.
"AI tools are one of many technologies we test and try out, and in some contexts it genuinely helps us push the company (and the mission) forward".
I mean, no way they could pay an artist like before, right?

"How the west was won" South Korea is a glorified U.S. colony and the west always extracts the artistic labor of its colonies. This is not new, the only important layer that is lost when framing this as purely East/West is how much of this music is stolen from Black people.
The crossover hits stacking Grammy nods this year have little in common with the culture that birthed them — but they're winning the chart game. n.pr/3NEMh3k

I downloaded the Upscrolled app.
Just saw that the official accounts of the founder & even the app itself follow Greyzone "journalists" infamous for war crimes denialism everywhere that isn't Gaza.
Hard pass. Another app that tells me African lives don't matter. That's just Meta with a 🇵🇸 flag.

I see that Iranians are getting acquainted with the segment of the western left that believes that only massacres committed by US allies are bad.
The way they're gaslighting victims while criticizing those who were doing the same elsewhere...Exactly the same as their right-winger counterparts.

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.
