idk who needs to hear this but if you've got disposable income and find it difficult to do some household task, go stimulate the economy and hire someone to do it. someone out there wants the job

the moment i saw that my instacart shopper replaced sold out brioche bread with a completely different bread of the same brand, rather than brioche bread in a different brand, i knew he was a man

Score on one of many breakaways where it's only your attacker and the keeper?

Washington Spirit: nah

Score on a probable intended cross into the box at the death of stoppage time from well outside that somehow sneaks its way into the back corner of the net?

Washington Spirit: that one

i had this exact question so fyi in case you do too: if your book was in the atlantic list but published after 2021, it's not part of the settlement www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/faq#q-49
51. My work was on The Atlantic’s list of LibGen files. Why is it not on the Works List? The Works List only includes works that meet the Class definition (as identified in FAQ 5). A work on The Atlantic’s list of LibGen files may not meet the Class definition for many reasons, including, for example: Anthropic did not download any works from LibGen after July 2021. To compile its list, The Atlantic used metadata from LibGen as that database existed in 2025. Between July 2021 and 2025, more books were added to LibGen. Your work would not be part of the Class, and therefore not on the Works List, if it was added to LibGen after July 2021 (and also not present in the files Anthropic downloaded from PiLiMi in August 2022).

Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

Am I reading this correctly?

A grad student ... in Computer Science ... enrolled in an undergraduate seminar ... in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies program ... where he ignored the readings and hijacked discussions to talk about Israel and defend its actions in Gaza?

What the hell?

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.
Early last semester, Droubi said, students began approaching Cheyfitz with complaints that a graduate student in the “Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance” class appeared to be recording them, possibly to “gather their names and comments” and intimidate them. “We believe that a student came to the course for the sole reason of surveilling and potentially harming students in the class,” Droubi said. “That ended up proving itself to be true because multiple students came forward and shared their concerns with Professor Cheyfitz.” Cheyfitz said one Palestinian student quit the class after telling him she felt upset and frightened. Current Issue Cover of October 2025 Issue October 2025 Issue According to Cheyfitz, the graduate student often steered conversations away from the assigned readings—which at that point mostly focused on definitions of genocide and international law on Indigenous rights—to defend Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza and argue with others in the class. “He clearly had not done the readings,” Cheyfitz said. “It was disruptive.” Cheyfitz said he met with the graduate student in late January and spoke to him about concerns from his classmates. During the conversation, he asked the graduate student to drop the course, and by the next class, he did, Cheyfitz said. The graduate student, Oren Renard, a PhD candidate in computer science whose identity was confirmed by other students in the class, previously served in Israel’s elite military surveillance agency, Unit 8200, according to his LinkedIn profile.

right?? sign-stealing is not something that requires "self-defense" in the way that say, being punched in the face would. thats just trying to expand what we consider "violent" in order to justify "disproportionate violent action"

Is this a call for violence? Yes. Explicitly it is. Today, I choose violence. Literally. I know calls for violence are generally frowned upon. The issue is ….. I simply don't care.

absolutely outrageous how the author and editor are trying to convince us that "disproportionate violent action" is simply a call for self-defense, not an explicit incitement to disproportionate violent action
