the dystopianism just gets dystopianer
Why the #WGAStrike hits home for me personally (aside from the fact that I'm a writer and we should stand together):
Recently, I wrote an article (I won't say for whom) that I believe, but can't prove, was edited by a generative text program. The edit introduced exactly the kind of confident factual errors that are the hallmark of GT. I had to work post-publish to get them fixed.
Fair wages are vital. So is keeping humans in charge of writing and editing.

Writers in every industry are facing a wave of declining salaries, job cuts and algorithms replacing human writers and editors. The WGA may represent one kind of writer, but they are fighting for all of us. I support the WGA strike, and whether you write for a living or just care about your content coming from humans making a living wage, you should too.
Learn about the strike, why it matters and what you can do to help:

@SubtleBlade Disgusting treatment of #nurses and surely it'll be like throwing petrol on a fire. #SupportTheStrike #NHS #GTTO

'Junior' doctors strike is to address a 25% pay reduction since 2009. 'Junior' means "not a consultant". #supportthestrike #SaveOurNHS #ToriesOut

Not sure if people know this #strike is happening, but the cast and knights of the #MedievalTimes in California are trying to win higher pay, stop instances of animal abuse, and get better care for workplace injuries.
I miss going to #RenaissanceFestivals, since the pandemic, but not going when I think of it as solidarity with the strike feels more meaningful.
Workers are asking people to share information about the strike, which has been going on since February and is still on-going: https://nitter.net/JAKEMBOWMAN
If you have any extra to give to their strike fund, I'm sure they'd appreciate it (but please take care of yourself first and don't feel obligated): https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-show-cast-and-knights-at-medieval-times )

If you were willing to applaud on your doorstep but unwilling to support striking NHS workers then you don’t support the NHS, you support making yourself feel better.

Listening to Gillian Keegan, I'm reminded of the old joke about the horse owner who boasted that he'd trained the animal to do without food. Just as he'd got it trained, it went and died.

Today I joined my co-workers at #ImperialCollege as we strike in response to the College management’s decision not to reopen pay negotiations, which currently proposes a real-terms 8% pay cut: imperial.ac.uk/staff/joint-tra... #SupportTheStrike #ICLStrike #UCUrising #UniteTheUnion

@oakelmash Well said and why isn't every journalist and opposition politician challenging them on this? #SupportTheStrike #GTTO
A picture paints a thousand words
Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Don't let them take it away

This is nation-level trolling… I would say “incredible” but with this Tory shower, it is almost expected.
