🧵 Are you naughty or nice? 😬
Nawiht became "naught." Naughty, therefore, literally means "nothingy."
It originally meant "poor" or "having nothing," which came to describe ill intent/bad behavior thanks to classism (poor people = vagabonds, criminals) plus a dash of the notion as we see in the modern phrase "moral bankruptcy."

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Im genuinely so befuddled by this; I DON'T LACK IDEAS.
I have so MANY ideas and plans--its time, money, and energy I lack. I don't need genAI to make up stuff for me, my brain does that perfectly well, and I actually love that my brain does that for me.

I’m embarrassed for these people. I was at a writing retreat this summer that suggested we use genai for ideation. They told academics to use a plagiarism machine for ideas. If you are doing this, do us all a favor and leave the field. If you have no more ideas, you shouldn’t be an academic.
I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

I feel, perhaps predictably, strongly about this. If you also do, this post shows a way to steer your borrowing with Libby to books with a real person doing the audiobook reading.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!
