ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?
It's literally called Library Extension.

I created a brief spreadsheet of reductions I've heard of so far. Any additions you know of (especially if you have the links/receipts) would be great: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.
In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥
Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

trump’s desire to take over the kennedy center feels like the same ideological vein as guys who want AI to replace art. they can’t imagine creating anything from a place of sincere emotion so they seek to destroy it.

Rep. Nancy Mace is holding a hearing this week titled, “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty.”
It’s just a guise to launder her vicious transphobia. “The testing of radical gender affirming therapy drugs on animals in the name of science must end.”

Tuck makes a few good points here but specifically "It is impossible to build coalitions with other people when we are singularly obsessed with ourselves." You can take this to be a scold (you are not special) but it's actually a gift (you are not alone)
I think a lot of folks could benefit from taking a minute to read this from @tuck.bsky.social (and support Gender Reveal while you’re there).
