It also triggers payout for the authors in the class action lawsuit, which is the only reason I've been hoping Anthropic will not go bankrupt before IPO... after IPO suits me just fine.

It will happen again. In fact, it will get worse. Start preparing (collectively and individually).

If you want to meet people in your neighborhood, I recommend taking a very long stick, preferably two, and engaging in a struggle with the tree out front for possession of a plastic bag.
It is amazing how many people will stop to ask/gawk/help.
Bonus if you do it when the kids are getting out of school.

so Kale is was a Must Take at the farm share early in the summer and I was like *I do not like kale that much and I especially don't like an entire massive bunch of kale*... but I had the idea of putting it into soup! Which is a place that I actually like my kale. So I sliced it up and froze it and just now pulled it out and made some veg soup that I've been meaning to make for a while (using up a bunch of stuff in the fridge) and it is SOOO YUMMY.

That pinged (for me) the idea that this continuity of the beginnings of a better world already co-existing with the dying one contrasts with the idea of disruption that's an inherent part of the climate crisis now.

I just visited the COOLEST place: a FREE Children's Bookstore!!
I donated my trove of children's books: my kids are 24-27 now, so I've downsized to the most treasured books & let the rest go.
This FREE *bookstore* lets under-resourced kids have the bookstore experience and find books they love.😍📚

I'm not the first to have the thought that we're outsourcing way too much of our human lives/activities/meaning to the machines, but boy does AI make that impulse transparent and clearly toxic.
To be clear: #DestroyAI
But also: there are so many ways we need to re-examine our relationship to technology (and btw to nature, those are entwined, and of course to each other). Humanity needs to level up its wisdom, stat.

I am the word witch.
I have the magic.
The men behind the machines keep stealing the spells after they're cast, but they can't recreate the magic because they aren't the source, and no matter how clever they make their machines, they can only steal, not create.
We are the source.
We have the magic.
Don't forget it.

I'm a writer, I kill keyboards for a living, plus I'm messy. Keyboard repair on most laptops is insanely expensive, plus I hate ewaste, so 2yrs ago, I got a frame.work laptop. Today, I did the exact repair I envisioned: super easy, brand new keyboard, $99 for "input unit", I'm pumped.

@nprofile…ggeh as I said in the image text, there were no other cars. This throttling happens regardless (I've traveled a lot, charged a lot, the problem is widespread)

@nprofile…ggeh that is incorrect, unless they've intentionally installed undersized wiring. The rated power is 350kW. It is safe to deliver. They choose not to because it probably costs them higher rates from the utility. thus it is false advertising.

2026-06-07 18:09:54 UTC

Cannot emphasize enough how uncommon it is to get the rated speed on chargers, and this feels lightning fast and it's still not the rated 350kW...more common to get less that 125kW.
Charge networks would be greatly improved simply by not allowing throttling.

Self-Publishing Edition: I did not understand until I self-pubbed under two pennames in two different genres that:
- some books sell more than other books
- even when written by the same writer
- even when you try to promote them equally
- none of this means you (or the books) are "failures"

Just sold a short story (which included audio rights) and I made sure to ask them to include a "no AI" clause in the contract (art + audio).
I *highly* recommend any writer signing any contract do the same. (They were more than happy to accommodate so 🎉)

Just rewatched FROZEN ❄️
1 - this movie *still* ROCKS
2 - I am offended that it's labeled a "comedy" and the description is insipid
I remember seeing this in 2013 and thinking how revolutionary it was. I think it still is. I think we're experiencing an extended backlash to the women's empowerment that FROZEN (and so many other milestones of the 2010s, incl #MeToo) represented. #SmashthePatriarchy #STILL

I've got a new system using the library that's really working for me (and gets me into my local branch about once a week to pickup/return books):
First, whenever I see a book rec I like (very often on bsky!!), I check to see if the library has it (protip: physical books have fewer holds)

I really don't care whatever else you post, how valuable it might be, how insightful or whatever, IF YOU USE AI IMAGES that's an immediate unfollow. It demonstrates a willful disregard for all the harms AI is doing because it's convenient for you to use the theftbot for personal gain.

The forces of evil are trying to co-opt a lot of good things in order to both keep us from enacting them and keep us from coming after THEM.
Example: UBI
I just read a *great* article about UBI as a "social vaccine"...
