"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

A very very very common symptom of long Covid, and at least one report called his illness “post viral.” Would anyone like to argue the pro basketball player was not healthy? Do you feel healthier than an NBA player?

Packed hearing, dodged questions. At the first-ever City Council hearing on Philly gov’s use of AI and surveillance, City Councilmembers asked powerful, basic questions to open up the city’s black box of technology, and were disappointed by the city’s lack of answers.

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

A brown and cream Alaskan husky (Jenga) is sitting at a table with her head resting on a closed book. The bg is a bright yellow, and she has a red "...?" above her head. Is this reading? Not as exciting as expected.

A big dark brown and white husky with freckles around his mouth (Colbert) is sitting while chewing on a book. It already has a chunk missing. His tail is curled in, and he appears pretty satisfied.

A dark grey and cream husky with brown ears (Leap) is jumping over an open book on the ground and looking at it as she passes by. She looks interested, but probably only read a couple words on this pass.

It's the release date of The Day Leap Soared!! To celebrate here are all the dogs doing some interpretations of "reading."

i would like to in this moment extend gratitude to all of the logins in my life that do not require two factor authentication. you are a cool breeze in a sweltering world.

Concert Review & Philly Song of the Week – “The Cave” by Mumford & Sons A Mumford & Sons concert is a weird place. It was thought-provoking and odd. More importantly their concert made me think about how Xfinity Mobile Arena treats concert-goers compared to sports …

"I looked to my left, looked to my right and saw only white men draped in Patagonia and their female counterparts in a wide variety of plaid," writes Jason N. Peters in his review of the Mumford & Sons concert in Philly.

Them: I used ChapGPT to find a dinner recipe.

Me: Oh, wow, so you like poisoning black neighborhoods so you can cook… *lowers reading glasses*…a roast chicken that’s still too dry. Wow.

Abortion Pill “Reversal” Is a Hoax. It's Also a Powerful Right-Wing Legal Strategy. Speakers at a crisis pregnancy center conference made rare admissions about the challenges of providing so-called abortion “reversal,” and indicate its importance as a litigation tool.

The anti-abortion movement’s promotion of abortion pill "reversal" is akin to an “unmonitored research project,” @ansirh.bsky.social's Dr. Daniel Grossman told us. And in the US, there is a “very ugly history of experimenting on people from marginalized groups.”

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

How genocide happened

I fear I may have finally cracked the case.

Does anyone in #libraries have an example of a collection management policy that specifically excludes GenAI? I want to propose it to our board and they find examples convincing.
