AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge "Fascism and AI, whether or not they have the same goals, they sure are working to accelerate one another."

Librarians told 404 Media they are being inundated with new pitches for AI library tech and catalogs are being flooded with AI slop books that they need to wade through. AI maximalism across society is supercharging the ideological war on libraries, schools, academics

Federal weather enterprise rises to the occasion again with Melissa - thanks to volunteers and unpaid employees When a federal government "shutdown" is not really a shutdown. And also looking at the continued longer term impacts of ongoing and threatened budget cuts.

Seeing increasing media coverage about unpaid feds who are still working, so resharing my post detailing how NOAA's #Melissa forecasting relied on recent retirees working as volunteers and scientists working through trying conditions with no idea when they will be paid.

Recently I tried to join a discord and learned there's a limit on how many you can join. I don't keep up with most of them of course.

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democratsโ€™ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Since winning a PA Supreme Court majority, Ds have:

- Erased GOP gerrymander
- Upheld mail voting
- Rejected Trump bid to overturn results

So you can imagine why Rs really want to seize the majority ahead of โ€˜26 + โ€˜28.

Which brings us to Tuesdayโ€™s crucial election: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

They need to invent the opposite of a gym. You go there and you just get more frail and sickly. Maybe instead of lifting you just sit in a cold dark room and starve

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Bรถcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

In America they only have two left-wing politicians to choose from: one is 78 years old and the other has a Nazi tattoo and worked for Blackwater

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

"How do you expect to win back men...?"

We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

This is way less shocking once you know that film studios do this all the time when they need the rights to something.
