We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps:

- It’s ‘voilà,’ not ‘wallah!’
- It’s ‘a lot,’ not ‘alot.’
- It’s ‘further ado,’ not ‘farther adieu.’
- It’s ‘flesh out,’ not ‘flush out.’
- It’s ‘sneak peek,’ not ‘sneak peak.’

No worries if not!!!

Marxists: AI is a technology for capital to crush labor power and take control of everything.

Sensible people: this is doomerism and hysteria.

Flagstaff City Council votes to end use of automated license plate cameras The Flagstaff Police Department immediately deactivated the cameras following the vote.

This is good news.

Automatic license plate readers endanger everyone's privacy and civil liberties. More cities must follow Flagstaff's lead, and end their partnerships with Flock and other surveillance companies.

they sorta expect to be spoonfed surface-level fact patterns

No. No. No!

This is critical research. It's not even centered on climate. It's solar physics! It's geomagnetic storms! It's space weather! It's sunspots!

It's a research center needed for satellites and spaceflight!

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Republicans want to slash programs across the government and make sure there’s no way for future administrations to fund them.

That means programs like Medicare and Social Security would be on the chopping block.

Flock exposed training materials and a panel which tracked what its AI annotators were working on. It showed that Flock, which has cameras in thousands of U.S. communities, is using overseas workers. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

Me too!

Congratulations on this season.

I teared up at the finale because I found it to be so powerful. It felt even more so because of how dark it felt not all that long ago when it seemed like we might lose all of the goodness that you bring to our screens. Thanks for being a light.

It was perfect. Like getting a hug from an eagle. Thank you.

I’m so very sorry about your Alfie. I just saw this now because Bluesky has never shown me your posts in my feed.
