Notion, like most tech companies in 2025, are rushing to add AI into their products to appease shareholders. This template has been published for a while and predates Notion's decision to integrate AI. It does not require using AI features and was not created with AI either.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

Update: The TERRIBLE 10-Year Ban on State AI Regulations advanced House Committee. What does this mean?

It means we BLAST the HELL out of their phones! Call your House Members AND Senators today! Called a few days ago? Call again!

Tell them NO on 10-year State AI Regulation Ban!

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm!

For those of you wondering what to say here are two posts you can use to build your own script (use alt script to cut and paste)

Need to find your representatives? Here you go:
5calls.org

User Zachary Berger recommends the following script: "I'm a constituent in the congressperson's district.
Al regulation is life or death for a lot of the Congressperson's constituents in creative industries, please make sure the section in the budget reconciliation bill banning Al regulation doesn't pass."

User Karla Ortiz gives information on the bill so you can point your senators where to look:

Call your representatives! Tell them just yesterday (R) Congressman Guthrie added a new text to the Budget Reconciliation bill to BAN GenAi regulation in the states for 10 years!
Hell, point
them to the specific section:
TITLE IV-ENERGY AND
COMMERCE (Part II: Al section, (c) moratorium)

Alright besties, we're done with Meta for real now right?

What a misguided and terrible ruling from the EU. They just handed people’s rights, privacy and copyrighted works away for free to a US behemoth. This also affects any company whose work is copyright dependent.

I thought the EU was better than this. Shame on them.
