out of each and every scenes of them together..FAN CHANGYU AND YAN ZHENG BEATING SONG YAN UP IN AN ALLEY will always hold a special place in my heart

[buribulla]

Because to find romance in jumping a man in an alley together is wild. Aggravated assault...on our hearts.

Very stupid that I can't take the muscles out of my neck & upper back & beat them with a meat tenderizer. I think that would fix me

it is important to fight with honour. to lose with honour is better than to win dishonourably. your pride will never recover.

Like any tech-y adult worth their salt in the early 2000s drilled this into youth. Don't let these faceless companies tell you to reveal yours

in case you needed to hear it today:

it’s okay to use your turn signal when you’re changing lanes

it’s okay to use your turn signal when you’re taking an exit

it’s okay to use your turn signal when you plan on turning (can even be done sooner than 2 seconds before you’re about to turn)

you have a turn signal. in your vehicle. two of them in fact.

you are so brave and beautiful and smart and can do it. using your turn signal

[buribulla]

It's ok. You can do itttttt

Classic

[solomonorsalamander]

In 1968, during the administration of US President Lyndon B. Johnson, Eartha Kitt encountered a substantial professional setback after she made anti-war statements during a White House luncheon. Kitt was invited to the White House luncheon and was asked by Lady Bird Johnson about the Vietnam War. She replied: “You send the best of this country off to be shot and maimed. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot.”

During a question and answer session, Kitt stated:

The children of America are not rebelling for no reason. They are not hippies for no reason at all. We don’t have what we have on Sunset Blvd. for no reason. They are rebelling against something. There are so many things burning the people of this country, particularly mothers. They feel they are going to raise sons — and I know what it’s like, and you have children of your own, Mrs. Johnson — we raise children and send them to war.

Her remarks reportedly caused Mrs. Johnson to burst into tears and led to a derailment in Kitt’s career

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

Further, some authors may never even find out the lawsuit is happening. The court's suggested notification scheme "would require class claimants to themselves notify other potential rightsholders," groups said, overlooking the fact that it cost Google $34.5 million "to set up a 'Books Rights Registry' to identify owners for payouts under the proposed settlement" in one of the largest cases involving book authors prior to the AI avalanche of lawsuits.

If you're an author, please use this database to see if you could qualify for that sweet GenAI lawsuit money.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI

Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

I have never ever ever in my life asked someone to blaze my posts.

But if you want to throw me some pennies blaze this. I want ALL OF THE AUTHORS to know that they have the opportunities to get some sweet sweet GenAI lawsuit money.

Like to charge. Reblog to cast that Anthropic will have to pay out the ass.

@internutter asked "My works are listed in the case. What do I do?"

Please go to this site.

This is the contact form provided by the legal council of the Class in this Class Action Lawsuit. This does not officially add you to the Class, but the judge has ordered Plantiff Council (that's the legal council representing the Class in this case) to send a first class email to all members of the class. So this form allows them to abide by judge ruling by getting the contact information of as many effected authors and publishers that will be represented in this Class as possible so that they may send out any relevant information as the court case starts.

Tldr- Judge told the lawyer that represents the Class in the class action lawsuit to set up official email contacts with as many effected authors and publishers as possible. So lawyer set up this form. If you're in that list, call your publisher, have them fill out the form with their contact information, then you should do the same.

That way when the case concludes the lawyer will know how to contact your about the moneys you deserve for having your work ripped.

Also share with ALL OF YOUR AUTHOR FRIENDS and writing groups.

SUE HAAAAA

[kingofthepitt]

my only take from Weapons - the commentary on how community doesn't exist in america unless tragedy knocks at their doorstep. hard. even then what people form - it's not a community, more like a mob. and no one wants to work together (that mom who didn't want to share cctv footage). no one listens (911 operator didn't inform the police right away about the call from the drug addict; no matter how ridiculous that call sounded, they had to check it out bc it's been a month! and they had no leads! and yet...). no one talks (that teacher who saw Alex at the parking lot waiting alone). the system affects us all. it doesn't differentiate between big cities and small towns. it doesn't care and it will never care.
