I love seeing what others are doing here in the Fediverse.

Via Cory Doctorow: If you signed away your rights 35 years ago and want to get them back, check out the Authors Alliance, a nonprofit whose advisory board I volunteer for. We produced a tool that automates all the hardest parts of terminating your transfers and getting your rights back […]

#Books question:
My brother (in Berlin) is reading his daughter into the Potter-verse.

Ugh.

I want to propose an alternative. It should be something that is as magnetic as the Potter books (and if you don't get or agree with that, please refrain) but without contributing to a trans-hating […]

Why aren't firing squads composed of the most senior members of the military? Is the responsibility and work beneath them? Do they want to avoid what they have decided must happen? Why isn't it the judge who gives a sentence of death who must do the execution? The separation between those who […]

Trump says LLMs should be called “super intelligence” now, and anyone still caught saying AI is “the enemy.” Two days later and Bay Area startups are already rebranding. I just saw five Happy Robot cars with fresh graphics to keep on Trump’s good side.

A white car covered with advertisements promoting Happy Robot. The ads are brand new looking and say “achieving enterprise superintelligence. “MSN news screenshot saying “Trump decrees anyone using ‘artificial intelligence’ is ‘the enemy’”

Desperate for to save his flawed diesel export plan with Russia ahead of the US midterms and to (probably) throw more shade on his latest Nobel Peace Prize shunning, Donnie Diimwit raced to his failing social media platform this morning to say a ceasfire on energy targets had been brokered […]

[How to Memorize Anything] I wrote this for my students but I thought I'd share it here too. To memorize vocabulary words, formulas or definitions you should practice *recalling* that information. Just reading or copying the thing you want to memorize over and over may not help you remember it […]

Beautiful sunset and tree silllouette!

For a moment, even after I read the alt text I still thought:
Wow, those power lines are hanging really close to the ground! That seems very dangerous!

Then my perspective adjusted to realize that was the roof the workers were standing on and the […]

Reading my second book today that involves a MC who instinctively makes friends with everyone because he just likes people — the sort of person you agree to meet at a restaurant you’ve never been to, and when you arrive he’s just coming out of the kitchen wiping flour off his hands because he […]

I had to follow up on the previous pic. Tonight’s sunset was particularly stunning so I had to run out in my bare feet and take the shot before I’d lose it. No filters or editing involved. This is exactly as I saw it IRL pointing a little to the right of the first shot.
