And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”

Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

#MinCup25 finally has a horse race where your vote and mine can make a difference. #mannardite for me. Neither contestant has its own Wikipedia page, and the mindat.org pages now have a banner at the top telling people to go vote in MinCup25. I am happy that they get to play a game for a month.

People in cities think nothing dramatic ever happens in villages but that’s not true. In our village the summer before last the cattle pushed over a fence and escaped from John and Rita’s field and lots of people still talk about it to this day and some of those people don’t even live in the village

As the IKidarod continues, the mini #uglydogs have put a lot of thought into what they’ll put in their drop bags and carry on their sleds. We read the article by @quincemountain.bsky.social to get some ideas.
