I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

An aircraft passenger oxygen mask: a drop down passenger mask with air bag and yellow plastic mouth and nose cover, oxygen tube has been cut; Demonstration model used by flight attendant crew for passenger instruction. Has text on the side indicating that it's non-functional.

The planet is literally on fire. Every year the fire seasons get worse, the fires get larger and more intense. The change is accelerating. This is more than just and environmental or even economic problem. It’s a moral one. People WILL suffer and die. We can make a difference. To ignore it is a sin.

CSI:MAHA The six warm bullets that were found in the corpse and the smoking revolver still in the suspect’s hand with six fired cartridges in the cylinder were found to be a false positive after the suspect met with the DA to whom he gave millions in campaign contributions.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself, in all cases, as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave, is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow. The parliament or the people of 1688, or of any other period, had no more right to dispose of the people of the present day, or to bind or to controul them in any shape whatever, than the parliament or the people of the present day have to dispose of, bind or controul those who are to live a hundred or a thousand years hence. Every generation is, and must be, competent to all the purposes which its occasions require. It is the living, and not the dead, that are to be accommodated.

Streaming services just keep finding new ways to extort us. Want to have no ads? Pay us. OK, want HD or 4K too? Pay us more. And if you “buy” a digital copy you don’t really own it. I think a return to physical media and video rental stores is the only way forward. All hail the 4K BluRay.

PSA the shitty America’s State Fair is a money laundering scheme whereby the funds from a bipartisan public commission were diverted to a private organization. At least $100 million dollars. Do you see that much money on display with the plywood Arc de Trump and carnie level Ferris wheel?

Let’s celebrate the 250th anniversary of declaring independence from a tyrannical monarchy by consolidating all the government’s power in the supreme executive, building gaudy shit for him, and putting his face all over everything. I am just waiting for the EO requiring mandatory celebration.
