Anyone friends with a historian who specializes in Black US history? Writing a short story segment that touches on this and I want to be sure I get both the facts and the tone right.
People have added context in the thread, the claim she's making about people being "paid" to do "techlash" is because she is paid to promote AI with exactly the bullshit you think. Griiiiiifters gonna grift.
I find it very unlikely that there is more money in "techlash" than there is the billions and billions being put into trying to force shitty and unethical tech down our throats. The industry wastes money and resources all the time. That's well documented.
I'm side-eyeing this term "techlash" because it sounds like someone trying to avoid talking about the very real ethics issues in tech as well as greed & outsized power. Such as the entire AI problem. Or the racism built into many platforms. Or people like Musk influencing governments.
While I appreciate this may be *a* reason I think the reason people hate tech right now is that basically every major platform has fallen into ruin in lockstep with the highest corporate profits in history, and when asked, companies like Meta say "yeah it'll get shittier too"
lol not the 'being anti-AI is ableist' line. over here in reality, incredible art is made daily by disabled people, and claiming 'being anti-AI is ableist' is actually some of the most ableist shit i've ever heard because you're claiming what they do is not as good as your soulless piece of software
Maybe there are better movies, but I love these and consider each one so perfect that if they were more perfect they wouldn't be quite as good. Side note, can't wait to share some of the art I've been doing for @thelabpress.bsky.social!
Y’know the Trump lawyers’ court claim that Trump can’t be criminally charged if he’d ordered Seal Team 6 to assassinate political opponents? Justice Sotomayor’s dissent warns the July 1 decision lets presidents do exactly that.

Independence Day week art post. #WIP Work In Progress. I had an at-show #sketch commission at #HeroesCon Charlotte NC that I was unhappy with. Fortunately the sketch patron let me finish it at home. #CaptainAmerica#Cap#Mjolnir#ICanDoThisAllDay More updates later today.
My thoughts on last night's debate, longform past BSky's 300 character limit. TLDR: Biden needed to show focus & energy, and failed. Trump: "I did not sleep with a porn star." If you want swing voters to believe you, don't lie about the stuff they already know. Repeatedly. Links in comments.
I’ve been massively let down on a major project and I now have a large hole in my schedule (and finances) from July onwards. Anyone needs a letterer with 20+ years skill + experience, please get in contact. Currently working for DC, 2000AD, Boom, Dark Horse. Reposts very much appreciated!
IYKYK “I love my husband, Hal Jordan, but I find this annoying Canadian weirdly irresistible…” Remarque on a #Deadpool print at #HeroesCon Charlotte. #BlakeLively
Finished! #Batgirl of Burnside pre-show #sketch commission for #HeroesCon! Find me at Table AA-1417 this weekend. I’ll be doing a few sketch commissions at the show. Write me at [email protected] for details. You can see the colors from the Xmas bulb post in Batgirl's jacket!
#WIP Work In Progress #Batgirl of Burnside pre-show #sketch commission for #HeroesCon Charlotte NC! Find me at Table AA-1417 this weekend. The Burnside costume is my favorite superhero costume update of the 2010s. I based the face on a photo of my model for #Toybox for #TopTen#Top10.
The intensely yellow light creates a lavender highlight on this deep purple Xmas bulb. For a Batgirl of Burnside Copic sketch.
I keep a box of various colors of Xmas bulbs in my studio. For unusual light colors you can just Google the color on your smartphone and use that as a light.
