No! I'm happy to help do my part to pay for what we need! Why don't you make the billionaires pay their fair share!

Also, the answer to any headline that's formatted as a question is "No."
It's a hallucination generator powered by pollution and theft. There is no mindful way to use genAI. Also did you not realize we'd spot your AI partnership?
Listen, do not come to your library's local history room full of iNfOrMaTiOn you got from genAI. It doesn't understand shit about historical research. How can it know any damn thing about records that haven't even been transcribed or worse aren't even digitized??
You're gonna need congressional approval and you don't have the votes 🙃
Um. Call the public library if you need factual information? We're free thanks to tax dollars at work!
Lol omg
Wow, imagine requiring the services of an AI chat bot to vouch for you and make you feel all important and stuff, oof
Attention all novelists: I promise your protagonist shouldn't be using gloves to look at loose papers or pamphlets in an archive. They should have clean, bone dry hands, preferably without fingernail polish. Sincerely, a Certified Archivist.

I guess we should ask people who have successfully left cults. I think that's the closest analog to this situation, sadly.
Good call. I'm going to wash my hair, which is quite the endeavor as it's long and curly. Take care of yourselves, everyone.

I remember trying to login to Hotmail when it first started. It was like trying to dial into my ISP before dinner but after school let out for the day: a whole lot of trying again.
Vulnerable people without knowledge can use their phone to call the public library where we make actual, real, human-created, and human-curated knowledge available for free to all comers. All paid for by taxpayers, so already owned by the community and operated to serve people, not profit.
Peter Capaldi may be the best actor to have ever played the Doctor, but it's my contention that Tom Baker just *is* the Doctor. Happy 92nd birthday, Tom!
If your library doesn't have a food/snack partnership, we can still connect you to services in your community who can help! 2/2
If you're hungry, check your public library. A lot of us have partnered with community groups so we can give out free veggies or snack packs, even in red states. It's not something libraries have traditionally done, so you might not think of us as options. 1/2
So I guess it's up to us librarians to tell you we're just not going to buy AI written books.
An anniversary we shouldn't miss. I taped this off of cable in the 80s, so I've watched it an embarrassment of times!
I vet & block new followers often, as most of them are just obvious bots. Mercifully, I'm not out here trying to build a platform. I just like to follow interesting people and learn new things, so there's no downside to being heavy-handed on the block button
Same!
You're just out here projecting infectious joy. Lol, wtf, NYT?
When Hooklanders talk about the county being haunted by an ‘Iron Witch’, you have a moment of confusion. Do they mean Margaret Thatcher or do they mean some other malevolent entity that is withering the land and stealing hope? – Dr. Michael Benn, 1981

Two of my Christmas gifts are academic books about ghost TV shows and The Exorcist: Ghost Channels by Amy Lawrence and The Exorcist Effect by Joseph P. Laycock and Eric Harrelson
It's Christmas, and I'm back on my ghost show bullshit. Also, 25% of my gifts were influenced by @thornthewitch.bsky.social and I'm perfectly happy with that! 🎁🎄
This is the only acceptable way to play Stardew. I will not be taking questions at th::it's 2AM::
Right?! How dare I go make the money for the prescription wet food. This is why I'm the secondary human 😸
This is what I miss when I have to leave the house to go to work every day.
