And it's not even about the depth of themes! It's the idea that kids deserve the opportunity to appreciate well-made art.

Our society spends a great deal of time monitoring what kids eat, yet we fail to have a similar conversation about the art & media they consume, which has just as much impact.

I have a profound admiration for art whose target audience is children which still makes an effort to treat children like people who deserve to hear stories that have deep themes. Those are some of the best stories out there.

The Iron Giant is one of the best examples of that imho.

Yeah I havenโ€™t seen many cases where a labeler that didnโ€™t use ozone switched, which is mainly why Iโ€™m letting people know I have no idea whatโ€™s about to happen haha

Iโ€™ll have more updates as we progress with this update, my hope is that it should be complete by next week.

If you have questions or concerns please donโ€™t hesitate to reach out.

Medsky 2.0 is almost hereโ€ฆ

As we progress with getting these updates implemented, people may notice interruptions in their labeling. Just as an FYI, that I have a saved database of everyoneโ€™s labels so if thereโ€™s issues and you no longer see your labels Iโ€™ll eventually be able to re-add everyoneโ€™s.

Second, using Ozone provides us a lot more control over the labeling process, which can make it easier to troubleshoot issues with people who need their labels.

You can also submit requests through Ozone (through post reporting) if you need assistance rather than just a DM.

Why does this matter? Well, a couple of reasons.

First, weโ€™re going to be at almost 400 labels with this next update, which makes our like-post/get-label approach to labeling more challenging.

This change facilitates part of an overhaul that will make labeling much easier.

More on this later.

Hey #Medsky, brief update on how things are going with the next label update.

As Iโ€™ve mentioned earlier, we have a pretty big change on the horizon. Weโ€™re going to be switching out servers for the Medsky labeler and converting the labeler to support the AT protocol labeling system Ozone.

This uhhhโ€ฆ this is fucking horrible. Assume everything you type into an "AI" chatbotโ€” and especially if you *Share It*โ€” is being saved and read and is *In No Way Private At All Ever*.

These corporations don't love you. Shit, most of them don't even *Like* you.

Attention #Medsky #Latinsky and #MutualAid communities! Paul got accepted to a post bacc program at UC Davis and could use some support, especially given the caps for graduate student loans that were recently announced. Any little bit helps. gofund.me/8f6415d0

We learned that plans are underway to remove all 16 volunteer members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, or USPSTF. The AMA is deeply concerned about what this decision would mean for patients and physicians. Read the AMA's full letter to the administration: spr.ly/63323fORCh
