"We’re the ones turned into Soylent Green, so it’s a little fucking rude to have an essay piped hot and fresh into our inboxes that dares to be mad at us for criticizing anyone who eats Soylent Green. We’re getting cannibalized, turned into sausages, and you’re mad that we’re mad about it."

Professional writer organizations should not send out pro-AI propaganda in the form of tantrum-having "essays" to their members, and I don't think that's controversial.

Here a compilation of stupid things library consultants have said to me in solidarity with library pals at Lambeth Libraries where genius consultants has decided that a qualified head of library service post isn't really essential.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

I mean, sure, he means sports but 'liberal bubble' is a weak take. 1) It's disingenuous to the widely varied folks who use the platform (authors, artists, the local dog shelter, trad news media, awesome randos) 2) while also being insulting to a big user group who helped the platform flourish

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Fall is right around the corner. If you need someone to come into your LIS course to talk about scholcomm or e-resource librarianship I am available. I am currently making a zine on e-resources for librarians and students.

So happy to be able to ride my bike to the coffee shop to meet up with a student and then pedal over to the record store. Doing this by car would not feature the absolute joy of riding a bike on a lovely day on roads that have adequate'ish infrastructure and/or low car traffic.

"But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

It is planet-immolating, stultifying, fascist tech. The extruding plagiarism machine is disgusting and we should break it. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Excerpt from linked article: I do understand: you want permission. There's a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don't look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn't notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don't need me to believe it's useful, you just want me to be polite about it. But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

Working towards this. At present I only check my email a couple times a day during the week, never on the weekend, and it’s not on my phone so i can only check it when I’m in front of my computer

To help relieve work stress, don't answer emails on the weekend. Also on weekdays after 5 PM turn off your email. On Mondays, don't log into your email until after noon. Before logging in on Tuesday burn your computer and erase your identity. By Wednesday morning gather supplies and escape into the

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

re-watching Get Shorty, because given the option one should always re-watch Get Shorty. Delroy Lindo has this great monologue about writing a script that reminds me so much of how the AI dudebros talk. He's telling Chili how easy it is to write a script.
