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
Hank and John Green are just Jake and Logan Paul for registered Democrats.
I'm not generally fond of anyone correcting other peoples' grammar unless the author requested it, but what pisses me off extra is some smug idiot pretending not to understand slang in a casual conversation. "You 'seen' it? What does that mean?" oh okay so you're stupid
Breaking my mental health hiatus to let yall know that an AI slop farm wants to know authors' opinions on AI. Do with this what you will. I will see you all next month. 💜 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Why should you support independent trans media? Perhaps because we take on the bias of major news organizations with facts and data. Here's the latest from @evanurquhart.bsky.social, who found NYT wrote 5 stories on the trans sports ban decision without quoting a single trans person. 🤯🤯🤯
NYT Wrote Five Stories on the Trans Athlete Ban Decision. Not One Quoted A Transgender Person. - Assigned Media
The paper of record continues to diverge from other news organizations in its coverage of the transgender community.

“The Times stands out as the only news outlet to run more than three stories on the court decision without quoting a person identified in the copy as transgender or as the representative of a transgender rights organization.”🧵

That’s why it’s essential to hold the nyt accountable. Its leaders have demonstrated bad faith over several years. The nyt should not be trusted on trans coverage.
I keep getting followed by liberals, and I'm not complaining. I do want to be up-front and say I am a socialist, not a liberal. I have no problem with interacting with people with different views, so long as those views don't overstep my human and civil rights. Also, fuck capitalism.

The US is adopting a strategy of attacking water storage and desalination plants designed to render the region uninhabitable. If continued, this strategy will make the Gulf littoral uninhabitable in the coming decades. Yet there is no discussion of these tactics and their repercussion in the US.

The absolute biggest issue I have with how *many* people are approaching the shooter with years-long history of domestic abuse, is the insinuation that PTSD and other mental health issues are the CAUSE of his violence. Trauma is not an excuse for harming others, much less for killing them.

I also want to point out that cyclospora in the lettuce means people. Fellow human beings. Were working in and alongside conditions where human feces was present somewhere in the supply chain, and that is a HUGE red flag for labor violations and worker abuse at Taylor Farms.
