I take solace knowing that when ww3 happens it will be announced on truth social and I will die blissfully unaware

Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models.
This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workersβwhose works GenAi companies stole to train their modelsβ they hope to replace.

The American Library Association strongly denounces new federal book banning legislation proposed in Congress. Call your Reps. Tell them to oppose H.R. 7661. Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121 American Library Association, Show Up For Our Libraries
"Parents, not politicians, should guide their childrenβs reading. In our school, campus, and public libraries, materials are selected by trained literacy professionals who understand child development and community needs. Their work is grounded in one clear purpose: helping young people become lifelong readers. H.R. 7661 isnβt fundamentally about protecting kids. Itβs about giving politicians broad authority to restrict whose stories are allowed on the shelves. That should concern anyone who believes in the freedom to read and the right of families to make decisions for themselves.β - ALA President Sam Helmick
"Rather than targeting librarians and teachers, Congress should invest in them. The Right to Read Act offers a better path, supporting well-staffed and well-resourced school libraries, strengthening evidence-based literacy instruction, and protecting the dedicated professionals who help young people discover books that open doors and expand horizons. When we trust families, support educators, and protect the freedom to read, our young people thrive.β - ALA President Sam Helmick.
NEW: ALA strongly denounces new federal book banning legislation introduced in Congress, HR 7661.
As ALA President Sam Helmick said, "Parents, not politicians, should guide their children's reading." Call your Rep and tell them to oppose this new bill.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.
I feel like dragging us into a war no one wanted should be like the number one impeachable offense and you should probably go to prison for a long time afterwards but thatβs just me.
Dill pickle pizza
Can confirm: dill pickle pizza at HenriettaHaus in Hamtramck is pretty good.
They need to have a Detroit show again sometime soon. It's been too long.
CRITICAL RACE THEORY? BROTHER, EVERY RACE IS CRITICAL
Saw this in Discord and itβs amazing
Emily Scott Robinson singing and playing guitar at The Ark in Ann Arbor, MI.

Cover of Emily Scott Robinson's album Appalachia
Instead of watching tonight's propaganda (or listening to pundits dissect it), I had an infinitely better time at The Ark in Ann Arbor seeing Emily Scott Robinson. Her new record Appalachia is an early top-10 of the year for me. Just great, great songwriting.
Thank you so much for highlighting Emily Scott Robinson in Bandcamp Daily last month. Hadn't heard of her, but damn, her new record is amazing. Was so very lucky to be able to see her tonight at the Ark in Ann Arbor, and would not have known about her without your article.
The old design is so much cleaner.
It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster
Still sort of astonishing how the men of a political faction so obsessed with masculinity will dutifully debase themselves and betray their principles to adopt the biases and obsessions of an 79-year-old demented clown -- in this case by performatively smearing the U.S.'s closest ally.
Members of the AnzΓ» Quartet (Olivia De Prato, Ashley Bathgate, Karl Larson, and Ken Thomson) in the Rivera court at the Detroit Institute of Arts
Second show in as many days. Tonight was seeing the AnzΓ» Quartet at the Detroit Institute of Arts playing Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps, a piece that enthralled me when I first heard it in a performance 30 years ago. I haven't heard it live again until tonight. Simply breathtaking.
i'd hit a pentuple axel every time he yells "THERE'S A BOMB IN MY CAAAAARRR"
That is a great pairing.
Sierra Hull and her band in Pontiac, MI on 2/19/26
Taking advantage of a slow gig calendar and catching some shows. Tonight is Sierra Hull and the Milk Carton Kids. Sierra Hull was incredible.

One of the best sf shows ever made, Babylon 5, is being released on YouTube by Beyond Infinity in collab w/ WB. And it's upscaled!
One ep every few days.
Seasons 3-4 are masterpieces, but if you've never seen the show, you can start now!

Just watched the Biggs Cut with my wife. Deeply satisfying. I completely get why 80% of Biggs was cut from the final film, BUT if you don't care about pacing and are just interested in character development, SO MUCH ABOUT LUKE ONLY MAKES SENSE IF YOU KNOW ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH BIGGS

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Really need to know when the warnings were....all I recall is them being thrilled about DOGE.
Hey @johnubacon.bsky.social , any word if a large print edition of Gales of November will be published??
The Washington Post is getting rid of its Books section. Weβre losing the institutionsβjournalism, middle-class artistic and intellectual cultureβthat once made life bearable. Those things were a threat to the super-rich who increasingly govern us. Democracy dies in illiteracy.
