@rufustheduck@mastodon.social You know what they say about cats... Sometime anti-social, always anti-fascist.
@rasterweb@mastodon.social @rufustheduck@mastodon.social I came up with this gem years ago:
"Cats are inherently anarchists, which is why they make the best leaders..."
Sounds like a contradiction at first, but I intended the phrase as kinda like an anarchist zen koan or something... It stresses that cats would make the best leaders (totally factual) and emphasizes that the best leadership structure is anti hierarchical and temporary (anarchist).
If you post an article behind a paywall, it doesn't get read, it inspires an audible groan, and closing the page, maybe a visit to wayback machine on archive.org if the headline looks interesting enough but POST THE NON PAYWALLED VERSION IF YOU WANT YOUR ARTICLE TO ACTUALLY BE READ.
yes I disapprove of for profit companies training on library holdings (digital form, libgen is a library...) but don't forget when you talk about legal remedies to only focus on the for profit part so lawsuits don't injure fair use, or harm other libraries (like the internet archive, shadow libraries like libgen and anna's archive, or your local public library)
Stop AI training AND protect libraries and fair use!

I'm on an ACLU benefit compilation that just came out on May 1, international workers day... Details if you're interested at sparkpurcell.neocities.org. Buy it on a bandcamp friday so the ACLU gets all of the donation. (I know they're a liberal org not an anarchist one but any help resisting this awful administration is helpful, even if more needs to be done...) Lots of awesome people on this comp... #BandcampFriday day recommendation... (another recommendation: support bandcamp united)
Advertisers are the new trolls. Don't feed them. (Yes this is a subtoot)
