In solidarity with Library Genesis and Sci-Hub

Since it’s somehow still legal for private companies to own copyright on public knowledge works created with public funds and then sell it back at absurdly high prices, we need services like Library Genesis and Sci-Hub to exist freely.

No, I Will Not Debate You – Laurie Penny, Longreads

“the idea that politeness and civility is owed to anyone in a position of power is one of the great gotchas of liberal thought.”

Home Sweet Homepage, Amy Wibowo

A nice story that I can relate to about getting started online and making your own homepage.

This Furry Porn AI Generates a Sexual ‘Hindquarters’ Image Every 40 Seconds – Samantha Cole, Vice

This is where AI is taking us 😂

This Grandma’s Dying Wish Was a Giant Dick on Her Grave – Nathaniel Janowitz, Vice

Mad respect.

📽

Your Art Matters (One Scene For Hope)

A non dark Caelan Conrad video. A good one at that.

An Exhaustive Defense of Fanfiction

Yes, fanfiction is worthy of respect as a medium!

Rep. Eskamani reacts as Gov. DeSantis targets small business after viral video of kids at drag show

I made Cookie Monster terrorizing Gingerbread Men

For once the sculpture is an actual monster but doesn’t look creepy. Instead, the sculpture ends up truly monstrous.

AJR – I Won’t (Official Video)

I like the camera cuts for this video. Lots of shots stitched together.

Hey, I don’t work here – (Official Music Video)

But if I did, I wouldn’t surrender.

If you made it this far, why not share this newsletter with a friend? Or share with me some of the things that you found that you liked this week. Either way, I’m thrilled!
