You can’t boycott Rowlings at this point though, she’s made her fortune off the IP already. You’re essentially virtue signaling.

Musk on the other hand has most his wealth tied to the stock of his company. They aren’t remotely similar.

Fair, I can’t argue that’s a good lens to view this through. I can only hope these people’s message actually get some people to wake up.

But that pessimism didn’t just appear. There’s a reason, and I’m my opinion a good one, for it. I think we’re long overdue for a political overhaul. Though I’m probably just preaching to the choir.

Not even mug shots really. Just close ups of people who aren’t white.

No names, no location, no information. Just “Murder” and a photo. It’s less than a mug shot.

Or they’re people that actually want change and a better life for us all. And that’s not coming via either current party in the US.

I think expecting Democratic Senators to vote no on things like the Laken Riley Act or Democratic Judges to not sign bogus warrants to arrest Gaza protesters should be a bare minimum expectation.

Them not even being able to do that " keeps people down on the Democrats."

IMO she’s already rich, and more of your money goes to an evil multi-billion dollar corporation than to her. If you enjoy the world fuck it, enjoy the shows, have, books, etc… There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and we’re in dark times. You need to covet the things that bring you joy.

Side note: She plagiarized most of the first book from Anthony Horowitz’s “Groomsham Grange”. I understand there’s a lot of books about magical schools but seriously if you read them back to back it’s clear. This isn’t important to the conversation other than to supply another reason to hate the bitch.

Edit: you can’t boycott someone who’s already rich off selling the IP. Be mad as you want, people aren’t enabling her by purchasing content made by freaking Warner Brothers. She already got her bag.

My half thought conspiracy: The actual hope is to get people so reliant on AI that the fee is secondary.

You’re already starting to see this in news articles where, "Chat gpt says Trump’s physical not possible," or that “gork calls elon top misinformation spreader.”

Why are news outlets reporting on what some hallucinating AI says? To legitimize it. As people use it more they’ll become more reliant on it. It’ll be no different than, "just Google it "

But they aren’t only going to do this to make a profit. It’s more than that. It’s about controlling the flow of information. Once people are reliant on it they’ll adjust algorithms and black list information that doesn’t benefit them.

Legitimately AI is trying to position itself to control information and by extension the realities of its users. And that is priceless.

Hard to when Democrats don’t give them one to vote in

Walz is going hard on full RTO for government workers in MN in order to prop up property investments. Please keep him away from my progressive ticket.

For reference, he’s getting chumy with Tuker Carlson of all people. Neo-libs gonna neo-lib.

It’s weird how Dems refuse to acknowledge it’s a politicians job to get people to vote for them. They constantly just blame voters.

You cannot speak sense to Blue maga

Your blind support for people who don’t represent their constituents is why no one voted for your team dumbass.

I love how you people keep blaming voters for not wanting to vote for your candidate instead of your candidate for being dogwater

Ohio is reliably red because of stupid, easily influenced racists.

Source: Experience. I have co-workers who legitimately believe people were eating cats and dogs.

There’s no reason for guns to be treated with less scrutiny than cars.

With how fast the Democrats became Republicans, I’m sure they’ll start complaining about food stamps going to illegals soon

I’m gonna lead with I understand your concerns, these are extremely scary times. We’re getting our turn to live through history and I hate it. I just wanted to work with computers, get high, high, and play RuneScape. Now I have to fight for my life.

All you guys are right to want it, and I’d agree you are justified, but the rest of the county I don’t feel has your back yet like they should.

I agree with this completely. The majority are still pretending things are normal. But I don’t think it’s much different than the majority of people being against the Black Panthers, despite them being a necessary part of the civil Rights movement. The promise of violence always behind the peace is necessary for fascists imo. And a violent clash between the regime and it’s people might finally wake people up.

Where do we go if stuff really does pop off? The ocean? Some of you guys are boxing us in.

I understand the want to run. I started applying all over Ireland and Canada as soon as Trump won. But then I started a tight nit food bank in my llil town here. And I got on the library board. And I started hearing my coworker/friend’s concerns about having a son right as all this takes place. And I realized fuck these fascists. I’m needed here, people like me are needed here. So I completely get the fear but no one is coming to save us but ourselves. If you’re anything like me you keep asking. Won’t someone do something. And the plane answer is no , not unless you do it .

Things are going to pop off at some point. It’s just a matter of when. I fully encourage you to take to the street with the rest of us, I promise you are not alone.
