your ghost girlfriend, with nonsense about baseball when seasonally appropriate. (also an academic librarian in digital scholarship, but like- don't expect a professional, and a Canadian in the US with random observations about the experience)

For the first time in franchise history, the Marlins have swept the Yankees.

With its victory, Miami is now 55-55 on the season, clawing back from a 24-40 start.

This is exactly what I would have expected, and it pleases me tremendously.

openAI was never a nonprofit in the sense of not trying to make money

but it's still a nonprofit in the sense of "not turning a profit"

Before/After sketch of Janine with notes: "Hair softer, glasses round, pupils larger, earrings smaller, neck shorter, no necklace, no bracelets, no belt. Generally less harsh and 'slutty' and her face and expressions are prettier." Original caption reads, "Sketch supplied by Q5 Corp. shows how "Ghostbusters" character Janine changed after firm made certain suggestions to ABC."

Straczynski expressed the highest regard for Trias and ABC, but he said that he believes
"network paranoia" has led them to use Q5.
"It is a truly insidious organization, I make no bones about it at all. A lot of their research and theories are strictly from voodoo,
Straczynski continued. "I think they reinforce stereotypes--sexist and racist. I think they are not helping television, they are diminishing it."

In addition to Janine's new look, described in notes on one DIC character drawing as
"generally less harsh & "slutty," she will have a warmer, more nurturing relationship with Slimer, a childlike comic character who sometimes dissolves into slime.

The show also will contain less satire and less
subtle, sophisticated verbal humor. "I've written a few shows for this season, and they weren't as much fun as last season," lamented "Real Ghostbusters" writer Michael
Reaves.
As one of numerous examples of this change, the Q5 report notes that some jokes that writers had included about college days and
"no intelligent life in New Jersey" would go over the heads of young children. A phrase such as "create the proper ambiance," the
report suggests, could be phrased more simply: "Make this room look like a little boy's.

A remarkable 1987 article about โ€œQ5โ€, a consultancy that, iโ€™ve now learned, seems singularly responsible for the mass bland-izing of cartoons when i was a kid. I remember the sudden and mysterious Jeanine swap-out in The Real Ghostbusters! this explains so much.

i am a long-time AE wearing person who also bought stuff for from AE for kids in her life and... this ad was not only basic and boring, it was anachronistic and had obvious not-so-subtle bigoted connotations. wonder if ms. sweeney knew the slogan & history of this all ahead of time.

Skyrim postcards: I seem to have accidentally joined a fight club. I have also decided to fist fight all the racists (it's true, it's a thing you can do in this game), and I've decided to join the Empire's Legion because I just can't support a rebellion rooted in racism.

It's funny to think that my preference for urban living in areas with dense, mixed-used, walkable neighborhoods, multi-family housing, small businesses, and diversity probably stems from Sesame Street. Like an early education in Jane Jacob's urbanist theories.

Exclusive: Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations, potentially exposing sensitive user data Thousands of shared ChatGPT chats are now appearing in Google search results.

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

Interior Order Chokes Off Permits for Solar and Wind on Federal Lands The department creates a seemingly impossible new permitting criteria for renewable energy.

HUGE: The Trump administration will no longer permit any solar or wind projects on federal lands unless they produce more energy-per-acre than coal, gas or nuclear power plants.

Solar and wind literally produce less energy per acre, so simply this may just kill off any project on federal lands.
