Unwashed Furry Masses: Wanda Gág’s *Millions of Cats* (1928) The oldest American children's book still in print, Wanda Gág's classic opens onto surprisingly political themes.

We Have Rights: When Documenting ICE Arrests This is "We Have Rights: When Documenting ICE Arrests" by MediaTank on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

AI-Generated Slop Is Already In Your Public Library Librarians say that taxpayers are already paying for low quality AI-generated ebooks in public libraries.

‘This type of low quality, AI generated content, is what we at 404 Media and others have come to call AI slop. Librarians, whose job it is in part to curate what books their community can access […] have a different name for it: vendor slurry.’

if I had a global microphone and wanted to make a buncha money quick I’d probably say something that would make the market dip and buy up a bunch of stock and then say something else that would make it recover
