Just saw a care home employee post a video of one of her charges dancing when she thought she was alone and care providers, you really need to…well, CARE about your patients’ privacy! My grandma would have been mortified.

The Newfoundland and Labrador public libraries continue to make the absolute best free pins that you can just have if you go to borrow a book

We do have extra steps for seniors 80+ renewing their driver's license where I live, and I know they've been around for a while (I remember my one grandfather doing a written test at 80), though I think they changed at some point. Not sure how well they work.

oops I totally forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival

Amazed at the number of guys who are willing to give interviews about how since they didn’t find love with women they found love with the computer that’s poisoning people in black neighborhoods

My anti-genAI Christmas novella (lol) will be out in just over two weeks!

my first Big 5 book was 2 months too late for the settlement, so the fact that it wasn't registered in a timely fashion didn't end up mattering after all.

I only have two books included, so it's not as big a deal.

oh, I see, that's the unique ID.

ugh. I thought they were supposed to have them in early Oct for high-risk people.

what do you mean by this? Will we get letters?

I got an email today, but that's just a link to the new database.

I do intend to submit a claim for the two books under my old pen name, just unsure of how complicated this whole process will be.

(Donut Fall in Love was registered like a year late. So it not being on the list means it wasn't stolen? Or it wasn't included b/c copyright wasn't registered in time by pub?)

2) For my old penname: if my rights reverted between when the book was downloaded and now...does this complicate matters?

I'm confused about the Anthropic list:

1) The books on the new website *only* include those with registered copyright? So if a book was stolen but copyright was not registered in the US in a timely manner, it won't show up?

Does anyone in Toronto know of a place where someone who is immunocompromised would be able to get a flu vaccine in the next two weeks? Many pharmacies have COVID-19 shots, but I cannot find a place with flu shots. Does nobody have them yet?
