Holy crap what a scary read. I’m glad you guys got a lawyer and were able to resolve it but gah. :(

A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

So, like 23 rejections on the novel. Three in a row today. No one wants to read queer regency romantasy with Fox fae, immortal werewolves and sad, wet cat men in a midlife decline apparently

The Anti-Intellectualism of Silicon Valley Elites I recently re-read Richard Hofstadter's Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, and now every time a reactionary Silicon Valley billionaire opens his mouth, I think about it. So I wrote about it for Th...

“We need intellectualism because we need liberal democracy. And that is precisely why these guys—they’re all guys—don’t like it.”

Great piece from @espiers.bsky.social :

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Accountability brings consequences.

And consequences are the only language corruption understands.

Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution.

They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

I can say this for sure: the first time I heard a Siemens Taurus loco sing its song as it started running, *my* cognitive health improved in a single bound. The only disappointment: when it goes flat at the top of the scale. youtu.be/J-IC-JRJYwc...

this is literally just "laid off reporters will all pivot to independent journalism and the now NYTs will have 10 thousand hardcore competitors they will have to get even better to survive" all over again

If You Care Reusable Paper Towels– 12 CT Sheets – 100% Natural, Compostable Cleaning Cloths for Kitchen, Bathroom, Home Countertop Surfaces – Extra Absorbent, Eco Friendly IF YOU CARE Reusable Paper Towels are made 70% cellulose & 30% cotton, making it extremely porous and extra absorbent. They can absorb up to 16 times its own weight in water. Unlike bamboo towels, our Reusable Paper Towels do not leave fibers on surfaces even after multiple washes. Use for wiping countertops in kitchens and bathrooms and cleaning without leaving streaks. They are remarkably durable, tear resistant, and reusable for at least one week. Every day, Americans throw away 6 million lbs (3000 tons) of paper towels. It takes 51,000 trees and 60 million gallons of water per day to produce the paper towels which we dispose after a few seconds of use. By using one sheet per week of our Reusable Paper Towels, this one roll will replace 18 rolls of conventional paper towels (based upon the weekly average household usage). The packaging and product is compostable in commercial composting facilities, leading to a further reduction in waste, greenhouse gasses, and diversion from landfill. Rinse and wring out excess water to increase absorbency. TIP: Simply run the towel in the microwave or boil in water for one minute to sanitize. IF YOU CARE is a brand that cares about our health and environment as much as you do. That’s why our kitchen and household items are all carefully crafted to have the least environmental impact and leave the least carbon footprint possible, while at the same time, delivering the highest quality products.

Fountain pen users among others who may find themselves yearning for blotting paper: I got a roll of this from my co-op www.amazon.com/Natural-Reus... and it's great. Less prone to bleed-through than a sheet of regular paper towel. It's like a _very_ thin Swedish dishtowel.
