I have so many questions about this Anthropic settlement. Right now, though, is—does the author or the publisher claim the settlement for an academic book

Today's electoral results are a referendum on fascism.

Learning History Is a Righteous Form of Resistance
It’s a way to combat Trump’s attempts at remaking the past to justify erasing protections for the most vulnerable.

Getting stuck while we're writing is a feature, not a bug. It's the point of the exercise. It's what happens when we are trying to express something we have not expressed before. That friction forces us to make the tools we need to understand and express it. Getting stuck is how we make meaning.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.
Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet
