No, the US Supreme Court did not declare that AI works cannot beΒ copyrighted If you have been online recently you may have been a variation of this story that reads something like this: "The US Supreme Court declares that AI generated works aren't copyrightable."

No company lays off 40% of its workforce except when it can’t afford to pay them or wants to kill itself. AI hasn’t changed that.

The slurs somehow have more agency than the Republicans.

The β€œNYT actually assigns agency to the people doing the thing” headline challenge remains unwon.

THIIIIIIIIIS.

And not just here. All over the place.

Like, I’d love a future Dem President to say β€œI’ve scoured the Constitution and can’t find a β€˜major question’ rule anywhere in it. So I’m just going to ignore that effort to arrogate power to yourself. That imbalance? Checked.”

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

By this logic, the US has been at war with Iran since 1953, when the CIA overthrew Mohammed Mossadegh to ensure that western oil companies, and not the Iranian people, controlled Iranian oil. It’s brutal puppet the Shah tortured & killed for 25 years. That’s why they chanted DEATH TO AMERICA in 1979
