Airport Libraries Take Off | American Libraries Magazine Airport libraries, where travelers can pick up books before they board their flights. are becoming regular fixtures in US airports.

Oh, so it's "cool" to read books from a communal library but it's "weird" and "wrong" to take an innocent sip from the TSA jungle juice tub?

The Supreme Court doesn't care if you want to copyright your AI-generated art The highest court in the US declined to review a case about copyrighting artwork created with the help of AI.

It’s so rare to get a decision like this. I hate to be grateful for the bare minimum but I’m grateful to the work of everyone involved in obtaining this victory. www.engadget.com/ai/the-supre...

Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying.

Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free.

So today, I’m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.

The absolute high pitched shrieking noises you hear coming from people who do data management is the NIH dropping a new template on us that goes into effect in 90 days and tosses out work that we've been doing and advocating for since about 2019.

In case you wondered how my afternoon was going.

like, yes, twitter is now designed like a bread oven and so we shouldn't be surprise that it is baking bread.

and additionally, a predominance of its current users happen to be quite dough-like??

an old-school DnD alignment chart, a grid of 3x3 squares, with the two axes being lawful to chaotic and good to evil.
lawful good: a lengthy, well-formatted footnote with additional explanatory text
neutral good: a note to future self of what to do with a footnote, but the full citation already pulled
chaotic good: an incomplete footnote but the various authors are at least listed in brackets
lawful neutral: a somewhat more restrained footnote than lawful good, without explanatory text
true neutral: just the footnote
chaotic neutral: a note from the author to the author, saying only "find this again!"
lawful evil: a curt footnote saying "see, again:" with the full citation after it
neutral evil: text, cut off by the screenshot: "I swear I read this somewhere; I've lost the bloody [...] goes to publication"
chaotic evil: a completely blank footnote

Every now and then I get a question from a prospective author like "how much does it cost to publish with you." NO. That is not a thing.

Do. Not. Pay. To. Publish.
