Groups attack Internet Archive periodically and it just pisses literally everyone off, I don’t know why they bother or think when they do it the reaction will be different.

Hockey romance novels are in the news. Here’s why they’re so popular. The subgenre captured mainstream attention after a brouhaha involving NHL player Alex Wennberg.

The show Heated Rivalry only exists because of an article by Rachel Kurzius inspired Jacob Tierney to reach out to Rachel Reid. Today @washingtonpost.com laid Rachel off.

ICYMI this is an incredible bargain β€” everything @annaleen.bsky.social and I have written for Tor, for $18 plus whatever you can spare. And it benefits a wonderful organization that supports Black trans people.

Ron Wyden Only Talks Like This When The Spies Do Something *Real* Bad No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

Mark Carney's government is trying to ram bill C-12 through the Senate today, just like they rammed it through the House of Commons with no input from migrants or human rights groups. One wonders: why is it so urgent to screw over asylum seekers? migrantrights.ca/actionslist/...

Google helped Israeli military contractor with AI, whistleblower alleges A whistleblower complaint filed with the SEC claims that Google breached its own ethics rules to help an Israeli contractor apply AI to drone surveillance video.

Feb 1: a whistleblower goes to the Washington Post with evidence that Google helped an Israeli military contractor with AI, going against it's own ethics principles: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... A few days later, Bezos guts the WaPo newsroom.

Folks, I haven't used Amazon to shop for over a decade and I'm just fine. You don't HAVE to keep giving Jeff Bezos more money.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
