Just your reminder that if you do not train an AI model, you just don't train an AI model, and if you do not feed a human, that's murder and you're evil.

In LA, community organizing has played a major role in slowing ICE down. Here are the strategies I saw while I was there.

Note: This is a shorter cut of a longer video that’s available on my other socials. All of which can be found here: linktr.ee/kevinfoster

a medieval-style digital art piece. In the center, there’s text reading β€œLet this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair.” written in black gothic script, with a colorful blue, pink, and green dragon hanging upside down acting as the capital L. There is also a smaller red, blue, and yellow dragon as a filler at the end of the text. There’s a thin, blue and white border around the edges.

It’s like these people don’t know what gerrymandering and voter suppression is. And have zero empathy for people living in a bubble and being lied to continuously by our very lopsided media.

I got a nicely printed flyer in the mail from one of Cuomo’s PACs about Mamdani defunding the police and raising taxes and was like β€œsounds good to me!” πŸ˜‚

This is Waylon. He'd been in a shelter for 95 days when a woman came in with her son Cai. Cai asked so many great questions about how to keep him safe and healthy. When he returned to officially adopt Waylon, he arrived in a very dapper suit, saying it was a "special occasion." 14/10 for everybody

β€œIn traditional patronage back in the day, a wealthy individual would be like, β€˜Hey, Mozart, I like what you’re doing over there. Here’s some money, keep doing that. Love you man!’ This kind of thing still happens in classical music […] just not so much in TV, film, or video games.”

Oh this was excellent. DATV was my game of the year last year and I have played it fully twice. Probably in my top five games. It was definitely a balm end of last year too. πŸ’œ @wordcountess.bsky.social

Working on that job app grind today so I can play tomorrow and over the weekend.

Want to work with me or have a lead on remote work? Open to any time zone. I have a doctorate, my experience is fun and vast, and I’m a quiet but fun coworker to have.

DM me if you have a lead! Shares appreciated. πŸ–€

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Late but want to say that I am so grateful for DATV and the work you and the team did on it. It has permanent residence in my heart. Also read Tevinter Nights and loved it. Some excellent Lovecraftian horror nods in there along with just a deep fondness for DA overall. Thank you. πŸ’œ

This may of interest to folks! The people involved include @kissane.bsky.social of The Covid Tracking Project (which was vital for so many of us when there was minimal information) and many others doing awesome things! Worth keeping an eye on and maybe volunteering if you have the bandwidth.

A reminder to NYC folks: don’t rank Eric Adams or Cuomo, AND fill all five spots with other candidates.

PANEL 1: A GUY behind the wheel of a car. He squints. A speech bubble comes from an earbud in his ear.
GUY: Huh that's weird. 
VO: What's up?

PANEL 2: The GUY looks baffled.
GUY: Oh, everyone outside is flipping me off and booing?
GUY: I'm just a normal guy, going to work!

PANEL 3: A shot of the car from the outside at a stop sign. It's got a big middle finger on the top, and a huge sign on top of it that says FUCK EVERYONE WHO IS NOT ME! A GUY ON THE SIDEWALKis giving it a thumbs down.

PANEL 4: The GUY, crying.
GUY: Why are they being so mean to me?!

Related to the last repost. Also for NYC folks. The thread has a bunch of the very good points from the article.
