This wasn’t hard to prevent and not enough people did anything to stop it.

If a person experiences injustice, and they do nothing to make a change, they are as guilty as the individual or group that caused the injustice.
Because they allowed it to happen to someone else.

'A new study published in PNAS Nexus shows that generative artificial intelligence has already been adopted in real-world disinformation campaigns. By analyzing a Russian-backed propaganda site, researchers found that AI tools significantly increased content production without diminishing the perceived credibility or persuasiveness of the messaging.'

I'm not a fan of David Brooks (centrist pundit who advocated for the Iraq war, among other things), but even he is recognizing the severity of this moment and calling for a "civic uprising" in this NYT op-ed:
The key point he makes, which I fully agree with, is that civil society has to join forces to fight back with any effectiveness. America has a really hard time with that, with its fragmented and thoroughly domesticated NGOs.

A family member’s Surface laptop went dark the other day. It seems to be Windows-related. I offered to “fix” it for them by installing Ubuntu. I’m thinking of going with Gnome since Unity is too different from the Windows UI, so they’re not completely disoriented. Or should I go with KDE?
If you’ve introduced a Windows user to Linux before, please share your tips!

This by @joshtpm.bsky.social on tyranny is worth reading. Trump is precisely the sort of threat that the founders of the American republic worried about. SCOTUS has opened the door to tyranny, will they shut it at the last moment or let him walk right through? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/scotu...

I have an excessive amount of optimism about the Fantastic Four movie based on a) the trailer looked good and b) a rare bit of Disney genre that doesn’t seem to expect you to have intimate recall of every other bit of Disney genre.
I finally got my teacup greeting cards listed as individual cards on my Goimagine shop.
Now they can be purchased individually as well as in two different variety packs!
These cups were illustrated from reference pics I took of my Grandmother-in-Law’s personal teacup collection that she’s gathered over decades. They’re family heirlooms that we use every time we have dessert after dinner.
The images were done entirely in Procreate by me, stroke by stroke, without any generative nonsense.
I also print them each individually myself in my own studio. No drop-shipping involved. And because I do, I can artistically “wrap” the image around to the back of the card over the crease, creating a genuinely unique card.
