If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business.

OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.

It was then that I wondered: Did keeping severed heads in her refrigerator make Charlotte insane? Or was the situation so unreasonable that hers was the only sane approach? She didn’t seem to be enjoying herself—at least Samantha seduced the men first. I booked us a table for four at Friedman’s

We gotta revive the ‘80s style family sitcom so we can have Very Special Episodes about sports gambling apps and letting AI talk you into eating a handgun and whatever else this evil ass culture is doing to kids. People my age still cut up plastic rings to save sea life, that shit 100% worked

I have 3 small projects cut out, ready to go. Two are tests of patterns. One is a test to see if I resized a pattern correctly. :-)

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

If you've got your eyes on something for Christmas, please get your orders in as early as possible - I will be posting orders all the way through, but things will no doubt be slowed down with tariffs etc.

Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc being the only human character in a film of Muppets is, and I’m trying not to be dramatic here, the reason cinema was invented in the first place!
Am I a hypocrite for wanting this after giving a hard no to muppet knives out
Okay, I'm making my case for the only Muppet I want to see on Broadway right now...

16 November 1940 | The Germans closed and isolated the Warsaw Ghetto from the rest of the city. It became the largest ghetto in occupied Europe. Over 450,000 Jews were crowded in the area of 307 hectares.

The classic example: people always suggest that a site can reduce abuse by requiring everyone to register with or use their "real names" and that would mean a far more civil environment. In reality, "real names" is the option that produces the *most* abuse.
