It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it.
www.harpercollins.com/products/vil...

the cover for a book entitled Villain by Natalie Zina Walschots. the cover is a bright magenta with dark blue and teal lettering for the title, and the author's name is in yellow. there is an image of the silhouette of a woman carrying a cane, surrounded by the silhouettes of five superheroes.

Even knowing the other laws are tabled and will go into effect by December it’s still a coward’s move, bc that’s what you do when you don’t want to put your name on a piece of legislation

I love award shows. It's no secret. It's why I've spent months writing, refining, and trying to distill my Ennies judging experience.

It's a 4-part series (I know, I know). One article a day. Today's lays out my goals and puts the focus on awards in general.

True story, during the Great Recession, Airbus said that to survive it needed to open some non-EU factories in places with cheap, compliant labor, no environmental restrictions, and no meaningful labor law and after a lengthy internal study the two sites they chose were Bangladesh and Alabama.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush?

Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

“We're victims of a model that profits from controversy. An insistence that because these stories matter to us, that we see ourselves in them and we see them in ourselves that we must fight over what the genre should mean to everyone.”

People once again need to internalize that "generative AI" is a small subset of machine learning, that machine learning is a critical tool that you cannot run a site without past a certain volume Bluesky has long since exceeded, and that it is FAR more reliable than user reporting.

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.

I got to “dick-matized me” and convulsively shut down my iPad, this is so much worse than anyone’s been letting on lol

I cannot believe these lyrics from the new Taylor Swift album are real

Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes"

"You made a deal with this devil, turns out my dick's bigger"

"Everybody's so punk on the internet"

"So we all dressed up as wolves and we looked fire"

"Got me drеaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop - Boss up, settle down, got a wish list"

"Please, God, bring me a best friend who I think is hot"

"He dick-matized me and opened my еyes - Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see - His love was thе key that opened my thighs"

"Good thing I like my friends cancelled - I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal"

"Did you girl-boss too close to the sun?"

"Who's the baddest in the land? What's the plan? - You could be my forever night stand"

"They ripped me off like false lashes - And then threw me away"

"Her name was Kitty - Made her money being pretty and witty - They gave her the keys to this city - Then they said she didn't do it legitly"

Damn am I moving to Ireland now

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 2d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
