Love in Star Trek when there’s a character who’s regularly anywhere but their station. In TNG it’s Data being in engineering (he wants to see Geordi), in ds9 it’s Julian being in ops (he wants to gossip), and in TOS it’s Bones being on the bridge (he wants to instigate and be close to the drama).

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.

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.

You guys are dangerously close to realizing specifically what kinds of people they keep from voting and why.

I want to drill this into everybody’s head:

The United States of America has the highest prison population in the world

Black Americans and Latin people make up the majority of this population (many of whom are non-violent offenders)

Federal Prisons in America require that their state keeps their prisons at a maximum occupancy at all times.

The 13th amendment did not entirely abolish slavery…just one form of it. It remains legal through industrial prison system

Oh and we have privatized prisons which allow companies to actually make money off of keeping people incarcerated

Here’s what’s really perverse: prisoners, who cannot vote, still get counted in the U.S. Census. The more prisoners a county has, the more representation it gets, even though the prisoners cannot vote. See how that works? The more black and brown people they lock up, the more government resources and political representation they get. Even though those prisoners have no say and cannot vote.

If county-A has a population of 50 voters but no prisons, and county-B has a population of 50 voters and 50 prisoners, the county with the prisoners gets more government funding and more political represention. This is sometimes called “prison gerrymandering” and it is used in redistrictring.

Not so fun Fact: Southern states that reliably vote for Republicans also have the highest prison population in the United States. (source). So mass incarceration is a double whammy. It’s both a form of voter suppression and a tool to strengthen white people’s political power.

There are so many valid options but I had to vote for lips because of the smirk.

bugs me how often in early ds9 it gets treated as like, a weird julian being weird quirk thing that he isn’t put off by jadzia dax having previously been curzon dax.

like everyone else is like “let’s not think about how you used to be curzon because that makes it weird” and “knowing you when you used to be curzon means there’s zero chance of ever ever finding you attractive obviously” and then julian is like “why would that be a problem it’s just additional information why is this an issue in finding jadzia attractive i don’t get it”.

and the show just treats this as julian being weird and naive or something and not Getting It or something.

like at least with benjamin sisko his objection is that there’s a strong platonic bond which he doesn’t want to change just because jadzia happens to be a smokin’ hot woman now, but other characters treat this as like…… if you knew dax as curzon then you cannot possible find jadzia attractive because you knew her as a MAN and that’s WEIRD and the show frames it so fuckin’ weird sometimes.

and julian is still kind of annoying in how he hits on jadzia but there’s something to be said for him not giving two fucks that dax used to be curzon and not getting at all why this would be an issue for anyone else who finds jadzia attractive.

Speaking as a trans TA, this is very concerning
