David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Sitlali has always dreamed of having a second shape like EVERYONE else. Maybe a bear, a dolphin—even a slug. Any animal is fine as long as she’s not a single-shape.

Then she finally does shift.

And her second shape is the one fated to end shapeshifting for all humanity.

Trans rights are human rights
Migrant rights are human rights
African-American rights are human rights

Human rights are human rights, and as soon as you give up on any group, you’ve made the rights of any group subject to negotiation and removal.

✪ Jonathan H. Gray: “Professor of Halloweenery” ✪ @jongraywb.bsky.social · 1d

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

the tallest stone @talleststone.bsky.social · 1d

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

napkin doodles about me and my hair

Napkin sketches of me, mostly hair related:

1. “Work fit for my ‘i hate working here’ era” next to me in my apron and nametag
2. Back angle showing my “hair tucked into my shirt”

Me falling through space, giving a salute and a shinning wink, my hair flowing above me, with “five hair ties, one for each year of growth”

1. Me with my hair down and over my shoulders. “Okay, i’m donating twelve inches tomorrow! I’m doing it! No excuses!”
2. Me bashfully stroking my hair with hearts around me as a rando says “omg your hair is gorgeous! Never cut it!” And i say “ya okay i’ll keep it a little more”

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline:

AB 82/SB 497
AB 1084/SB 59
SB 418
AB 554
AB 728
AB 678
SB 590
SB 450

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

reminder the two off switches in google admin settings that say they can be used to turn off gemini actually don't do what we want them to.

only way to turn it off it is to directly contact support for them to expose a secret third toggle that really turns it off. (also: it cannot help you do it 🤖)

me asking google gemini: turn off Google's AI assistant forever and don't ever turn it on again under any circumstances

it replies: I can't help with that. Do you need help with anything else?

if I'm not mistaken, this is the first UBI scheme where they aren't in some stupid endless "study" and finally have enough data to just simply DO it, and of course like all the studies showed, the result is a huge boost for the economy

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 3d

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."

A must read for ANYONE who wants to understand why Black women are experiencing a uniquely bad labor market and why the 300,000 number isn't telling the full story.

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

“When you get a suspicious book, “you look it up to see what else the [author] has written. And you see there's 30 things, and none of them have any reviews, and they were all written in the last two years,” DeMeester-Lane says.”

How Local Librarians Keep AI Slop Off the Shelves

AI is being used to create nonsensical, sometimes dangerously inaccurate books. Local librarians are tasked with keeping these volumes out of their collections.

lrt THIS IS WHAT I KEEP SAYING TO PEOPLE, YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER EXISTED, YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE. you will make it better than a computer. you will probably make it better than a large part of other humans, too, but even if you don't, you Have to Make It! quoth the Man Ever:

Quote by kurt vonnegut: "Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heavens sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."
