Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
I am still utterly gobsmacked by companies who want to pass themselves off as author-centric thinking that being "AI"-friendly is a good thing. Even the *perception* of being "AI"-friendly is enough to make actual authors avoid your services like the plague.

Massachusetts has a tax-free weekend coming up. A lot of places are pitching it as a great opportunity to stock up on school supplies. Which parents and teachers shouldn't have to do because schools should be better funded than, say, police departments, so they can give kids everything they need.
By me at this.weekinsecurity.com: A major online ads company that claims to serve 1.5 billion ads a day was hacked and began serving malware designed to steal a person's crypto. This is the latest perfect example why you should use an ad-blocker.
Online advertising giant Adform was hacked, proving once again why ad blockers are necessary

"This is a guide for people who would like less intrusive AI in their tech environment."
How to disable or avoid intrusive AI – librarian.net
One of the biggest questions I get at Drop-In Time at the library (besides “what is taking up all my cloud storage?”) is how to disable or avoid intrusive AI that shows up where people don’t want it. I’m going to make a handout that explains how to do some of the basic AI-removal or AI-avoidance things. This is a guide for people who would like less intrusive AI in their tech environment. Maybe you like AI and find it useful? That’s fine, this document is probably not for you. Additions/edits welcome. Leave a comment or drop me an email.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.

I Hate Adobe
Adobe is a wretched, exploitative company that loves generative AI. Many are coerced into paying money for their software and the software runs like garbage.
