I think if I were to send the head of legal at Grammarly a note that said I broke into his house and took his wallet, but in future, he could opt out of me stealing his wallet, that would go great and they would be fine with that ππ»
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

I hate all the "cute" local news stories this time of year about "snuggle a baby goat" type events at local farms. What happens to those babies after you go home with your photos and nice memories? π
My favorite Takahashi anecdote is that he had such deep dissatisfaction for Shinzo Abe and the admin at the time, he drew this picture while urging his instagram followers to go vote for something better. He got crazy backlash for it and had to apologize though.
I tried going to bed earlier to try and not be tired the next day. But it still didn't work! I wish we'd do away with Daylight Saving Time.
More #WitchHatAtelier fanart for the anime release!
It's always such a challenge to mimic the lovely lineart that Shirahama has perfected. My hand was hurting after just one drawing, I don't know how she does a whole manga like this. Pure magic β¨

tenchi masaki from tenchi muyo dressed in a grey schoolgirl uniform walks through a scifi scanner thingie
a computer screen showing his skeleton and a DNA strand, captioned dialog reads "everything looks okay"
the space cop or whatever says "but did you know your frame is very masculine?"
tenchi says "uh, i... have a father who's a man"
it's a pleasant surprise if you find a crossdressing character in a 90s anime and the joke being told is funny
this is like
the thesis statement of our times
damn, if the Childcrusher 5000 GTX pickup truck owners canβt afford gas, how are they going to be able to tote their massive loads of a single loaf of bread and a canned Starbucks latte
Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.

Black and white photo of four kittens spilling out of a basket that seems to be partially full of sticks or vines or something. Theyβre all short haired, and there is a black haired tuxedo, two tabbies, and what looks like a white and calico. Two of them look remarkably grumpy, and the other two seemed kind of blank and possibly confused.
Historians agree that the real Pandoraβs Box was likely a basket of grumpy kittens. Postcard from my collection, mailed 1904.
AI doesnβt have intelligence and isnβt sentient! Stop it!! We canβt even treat living beings (humans or animals) with empathy and respect. Maybe work on that first.
"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"
counterpoint!
the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time
1. In an incredible public outpouring of support, trans girl scouts on our girl scout cookie list have sold over 330,000 boxes of cookies.
Parents report to us that they are in tears from the support.

Also, Johnny Cash would look you directly in the eye, calmly but firmly tell you to take his name off this stupid thing, and you would immediately do it, because he was actually strong.

Those teens are also more likely in underfunded schools, without access to school libraries or professional librarians, and they likely have a harder time accessing their public libraries.
The right has been itching for this outcome and they're getting it.
Itβs so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.
As a former librarian, this piece by Kelly Jensen was all too familiar but also good to see talked about: bookriot.com/the-state-of...
1. In a major move, AG Letitia James has given NYU Langone 10 days to resume trans youth care, or face legal consequences.
Now many are asking: Will Mayor Mamdani follow suit and take action to protect trans youth from the Trump administration and capitulation?

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
So cute!
If you have not read Persepolis you should, it is an extremely powerful graphic novel thats available for free on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/pers... Though I would also highly reccomend supporting Marjane directly and purchasing it as well.
