Review by craftyhilary - Star Shipped Was I nervous about Cat Sebastian tackling a contemporary? Maybe. As a Star Trek fan, who as a...

Star Shipped, Cat Sebastian’s first contemporary romance, is out today, and I can’t say enough good things. The universe is filled with stars, but alas, rating systems only allow me to give this book five. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Four rooms in a house built in the app Focus Friend. Three are extensively decorated, while the fourth, a bedroom, has only a floor rug in the shape of a bear’s face.

Focus Friend is such a great app. It makes me feel good about getting work done, and also is completely adorable. Here is my bean’s current home:

YIKES. I need to bookmark this not just for the excellent analysis but also so I can cite “answer-shaped text” as an expression.

Does Clarivate understand what citations are for? Clarivate's new 'Nexus' product is integrity-washing.

"With Nexus, Clarivate are essentially integrity-washing synthetic text, giving it an academic sheen without any academic rigour." www.hughrundle.net/does-clariva...

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.

Omg I want them all.

Ich thynke but litel of a Mondaye bleake
Tuesday grey and Wednesdaye eke
Thursdaye Ich care nat for thee
Yet Fridaye - Ich am yn love

[twangy, moody lute arpeggio]

Mondaye thou kanst fall awaye
Tuesdaye, Wednesdaye, myne herte slaye
No mirthe ys founde upon Thursdaye
Yet Fridaye - Ich am yn love

Oh my gosh, no rush, after it took me so long to reply to you! And tomorrow is a Snow Day here, too. ❄️☃️🪏

The snow is already coming down steadily and it looks like it’ll be a shovel, read, shovel, repeat kind of day. Topped off the charge on my Kobo. Safety first!

NASA’s Largest Library Is Closing Amid Staff and Lab Cuts

My old pal @eniiler.bsky.social with a killer story. What we save defines us as a culture—the archive is our memory and our future. And we’re throwing it away? Madness.

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

This is just a note to say
that I have eaten the falcon
in a widening gyre
and that you were probably saving for anarchy

Forgive me
it was delicious
so rough
and full of passionate intensity

You knowe the useful thinge about LLMs?
Aye, me neither.
