Idle thought: What becomes of the creative process where there's a generative AI tool for just about any kind of creative output?

Bryan CulbertsonThe underlying problem is transit is still configured for a centralized peak commute that will never occur again, and since the number of SF bound peak commuters have permanently dropped so has ridership *for a schedule built to serve them*
Naive policymakers are wrongly interpreting this lower ridership as an expression of transportation preference, but surveys have demonstrated people want to use transit more if it worked for them

Starting June 1, the Province of British Columbia will offer residents a rebate for purchasing a new ebike. The lower your income, the higher your rebate. This is good policy. E-bikes are amazing! https://bcebikerebates.ca/ #ebike #ebikes #mobility #climate
Brooke BinkowskiThe thing that's killing me is, wingnuts go after Target over their Pride displays EVERY FUCKING YEAR. Every single year they've done this. But it's working this year -- because badly co-opted news organizations are pushing disinformation-riddled stories to normalize bigoted corporate and legislative actions. Just another day in the global, far right power grab.

Target becomes latest company to suffer backlash for LGBTQ+ support, pulls some Pride month clothing
Target is removing certain items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month, after an intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers. Target declined to confirm which items it was removing but among the ones that garnered the most attention were “tuck friendly” adult women’s swimsuits that allow trans women who have not had gender-affirming operations to conceal their private parts. Designs by Abprallen, a London-based company which designs and sells occult- and satanic-themed LGBTQ+ clothing and accessories, have also sparked a backlash.
Jason Anthony Guy“Not enough people were seeing just how corrosive this confusion of truth and lies could be, how harmful it was for the most vulnerable in society, who were liable to be turned into scapegoats for almost anything.”

mccOn my old Twitter account I used to spend a lot of time carefully curating politics/news links and RTs and on here I don't post about politics at all, part because the vibe here is calmer and I don't wanna disrupt it but part because it was exhausting.
This said there IS a constant escalating week by week eliminationist war on trans people in the US with basically zero pushback from liberal entities/politicians so if you're cis please go like… read news yourself… until you are informed. Thanks
