Wow! Have not come across that. Wonder if it’s a pun?

Writers of Bluesky, who is running good pitching workshops?

More than 20 Metropolitan Police officers broke down the front door of a Quaker meeting house to arrest six women who had met to discuss climate change and Gaza. It is thought to be the first time in the history of the famously ­pacifist Quakers that police have forced their way into one of their places of worship. The women, aged between 18 and 38, were sitting in a circle eating hummus and bread sticks on Thursday evening as part of a ­“welcome meeting” for Youth Demand, which calls itself a non-violent protest group.

I know the right wing media finds it all very difficult so, in an attempt to be helpful, this is what an actual interference with free speech looks like.

Farewell, Threads account.

X, after reinstating the terrorists' profile, has deleted all posts before November 2024 They also deactivated search function on his profile, so you can only see his last 2 months posts. Why? Probably because it helps the "far-right/pro-israel" narrative that he is "not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he a fan of the AfD or Elon Musk" There were 2016 posts proving the opposite, before Elon Musk deleted them.

can't believe the latest elon musk crazy shit is not trending here. TF;DR: he deleted that far-right terrorist account, then reactivated it but without its history and with search and translate deactivated.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

It means that if the creator does want to do a future deal with a more ethical company they have no sales stats and the product might already be considered old hat though. Maybe ask the creator for guidance on what to do.

Pirating Oh No merch will not help the creator either.

Cars in the U.K are up to 55% larger today than they were in the 1970s and there are twice the number of cars on the U.K's roads as there were 30 years ago, but the media are still running articles claiming that a handful of cycle lanes and LTNs 'cause congestion' in London...🙄

Quote from Greenwire article on Gaetz AG nomination: “Luckily all of our environmental laws are older than 18 years, so Rep. Gaetz shouldn’t have much interest in them,” said Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity, a frequent litigant in environmental lawsuits.

Rutherford County faces heated debate over book bans in school as 150 more titles are pulled from library shelves The book bans were initiated by board member Caleb Tidwell, who flagged the titles as sexually explicit under school board policy and state obscenity laws.

A Tennessee Board of Education has now banned Wicked, Beloved and 35 other books as "pornography."

Under a new TN law, any description of sexual activity is "harmful to minors." Another 150 books have already been flagged for removal.

Sex workers tried to warn you.

Look at me. Listen to me:

If someone is selling you a "search" & "knowledge" "AI" product they claim is smarter & better & faster than you, but it literally cannot be guaranteed to give you simple true facts about consensus reality when asked, then that product DOES NOT WORK and SHOULD NOT BE USED.

Starter packs are excellent. On the hunt for book business, EU, Sweden, and archaeology packs. ❤️

NB someone asked me for a Guardian/Observer starter pack so i can legitimately say THERE IS ONE HERE IT IS go.bsky.app/B6CxPTX PS i absolutely did not make it, credit due to @severincarrell.bsky.social i think

You wonder who told him that because that’s not his own idea. Whoever it was has been reading a very selective historical account.

Are you looking in the book world or academia world? Am on a similar quest and mainly finding tiny grants for writers.
