Getting back in the searches with all the newskies: Hi, I'm Dani, and I'm a very left pansexual writer and editor who likes sad sapphic music, OFMD, BBC Merlin, BBC Sherlock, Taylor Swift, 2000s network dramas, Love Is Blind, 9-1-1, OMitB, queer lit, YA lit, and all fuzzy creatures.

Related: I'm currently editing some AI slop where the author impersonator (presumably to avoid this association) just changed all the em dashes to ellipses, which.....is not a swap that works the vast majority of the time, so I'm just.......putting em dashes back in 🤣🤣
when someone tells me not to use em dashes because AI uses em dashes

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

Reminder that any encrypted chat is only as safe as the people in it.

This article deeply implies that the FBI had an informant inside the group, potentially even the creator of the group itself.

I will say it again:

No encryption is safe against adding the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic.
The FBI accessed and spied on a Signal group chat that was organizing immigrant “court watch” efforts in NYC.

I feel like this should be bigger news.

You aren’t supposed to be able to spy on Signal chats.

Were they invited? How did they get access? Was there a warrant?

I didn't know people did this and now I want to pay someone to flood all the pirate sites with 'adjusted' versions of all my romance novels.
I truly hope if you're downloading books that you download one of the ones that are uploaded with the fake endings, the random "and then he shit in her mouth and turned her into a zombie" that i know someone is adding that to her romance books & has her sister upload dozens of versions of that.

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone.

Killing IMLS could have killed ILL.

This is great news. 📚

"challenge scientific orthodoxy" is an absurdly irresponsible way to frame medical misinformation that will kill children
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Huh — Marjorie Taylor Greene says she doesn't want "to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms. And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he…tried to destroy me."

…Any reason she assumes Trump will soon be impeached?

Too many Dems see these votes as some masterful Republican trap they can't get out of when they're really an easy opportunity to highlight the dumb crap Republicans are spending their time on instead of addressing the cost of healthcare and groceries.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.

Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.

You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!
