This loser admits she doesn't use her real name when she uses AI to write books and doesn't reveal they're AI. Which means she knows it's wrong and she knows it's shameful and does it anyway.

The New York Times thinks that's neat though! Unsurprising that this toilet paper rag aligns with hacks

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

This is not who we are. I became an ICE agent because I truly believed in the value of getting a $50,000 signing bonus to violently assault and terrorize anyone I wanted while never getting in trouble for anything. Being held accountable conflicts strongly with my deeply-held personal beliefs

All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And all have broken that promise.

The Trump administration is censoring information. If you come across something before it’s censored, save it, download it, print it. Thank you to everyone preserving and sharing records, the censored Epstein files, and to Canada for helping us access Inside CECOT. Don’t let censorship win.

I know some of you all here have enjoyed my threads of local apples; if you're feeling generous, you can donate to make it possible to have more seedling apples identified. @kwiaht.org is raising funds through the Orcas Island Community Foundation oicf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

I’m not very good at self-promotion, but here’s a repost for the Sunday readers out there 🙂 There’s a claim that is being repeated more often of late that cyder was a different and superior drink to cider. In this long read (perfect with a cup of tea or a glass of cider) I debunk this modern myth.
Modern Myth-Busting: The Cyder Controversi
Barry debunks the myth that ‘cyder’ and ‘cider’ are different drinks, tracing the spelling history and enduring cultural heritage of cider.

This is a lovely conversation we published on CR, a transcript of my friend Jack and @tomoliverscider.bsky.social’s chat on stage at the recent PerryFest in Hereford’s Museum of Cider. An honour to have my little project mentioned by Tom too! 😊

We were just notified that cell-site simulators were used during the No Kings protests in several cities. Fortunately, we planned for this. Portland, Houston, Philadelphia, and Chicago were among the targeted locations. If you’re attending protests, please remember to follow protocol.

I spent the past few days curating iNaturalist data to generate distribution map of native North American crabapples!

Yes, there are four North American native crabapple species. iNaturalist community is critical to document their distribution
