Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.

Keith Sonderling, sworn in as acting IMLS director this morning, wants to “revitalize IMLS and restore focus on patriotism.”

You know what’s patriotic? Free access to information in a democratic society. You know what’s not? Defunding the libraries that provide it.
