We’re headed into back to school season and we as a country have dramatically underfunded our teachers. Many have made wish lists for school supplies. If you’re feeling like you can’t do anything to stop ALL OF THIS, maybe donate and put a little love and joy into the world and make some kids happy.

Can’t wait to finally ditch YouTubeTV, which has basically just been an $83 per month Jeopardy streaming service for me.

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

I'm glad they revised their policy to clarify that no artist content will be used to train generative AI without explicit opting in, but I sure wish they didn't have to get called out publicly to do so.

Damn, that was the second PSX game I ever played. (The first, of course, was FF7, which was the whole reason I bought the system.)

Don’t know why Tidal didn’t do a multi-link for that, but you can find the EP on basically every streaming service except for Spotify and Amazon. I kept it off both for different reasons.

Seeking Darkness, by Huremic 5 track album

Parannoul dropped a new release under a different moniker, and it has quickly become my favorite album of the year so far. #musicsky #postrock

West Ada teacher stands firm after she’s told to remove β€˜Everyone is welcome here’ signs Sarah Inama said she was told by administrators that her signs β€œdon’t allow people to express differing opinions.”

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

A classic example of how Google's AI is garbage, it doesn't understand that the Underground Railroad wasn't a literal railroad

I offer Parable as a lit circle option in the science fiction class I teach, and it sparks some great discussions. Butler is one of the all-time greats.

@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social I finished Authority a few days ago and now I can't stop dropping the word "terroir" into casual conversation. I have fewer friends now, but I did enjoy the book immensely.
