1. Being so enmeshed in a book you are shocked out of that world when someone speaks to you. 2. My cat stretching out to soak up every bit of sun coming through the window. 3. French fries and a chocolate milkshake. Perfect comfort food.

End Citizens United.

I grew up overseas because my dad worked for USAID. Watching him watch it be dismantled…I see the pain he feels knowing how many people are needlessly suffering. This is a tragedy that’s not gotten enough coverage. I’m grateful to John Oliver’s team for this story.

Good info.

He REALLY wants to limit access to the polls. Hmmm.

ChatGPT sure is getting a lot of not great use in the government.

😳

Dynamic pricing is a scam to squeeze consumers even more.

Visit your library📚

There aren’t words to describe how depraved this is. The full statement is so much worse than the small excerpted piece. You don’t have to watch it. You can read what he said on the linked site.

What an image.

What’s depicted in the film has now occurred in school districts and public libraries across the country. Help librarians defend our right to read freely. 🇺🇸

Heartbreaking and so, so wrong.

Self-driving isn’t, it turns out, so self-driving after all…and they use outsourced, cheaper foreign labor to boot!

The people who “don’t co-parent with the government” sure are handing over a lot of power to said government now.

An important thread.

Any other product causing this harm would have been removed from the market. No consumer protection when it comes to LLMs.

It’s actually gotten worse and more widespread since the documentary was completed! Don’t let others limit your freedom to access information!

I can’t imagine having to drop off a child in this place, go home and be okay. This had to tear them up. No children should be in detention.

I have no words😔

Chilling. The Bill of Rights means nothing to them.

Truly reckless.

Unconscionable

Read the witness’s words.

Disgusting.

Unconscionable.

Shocked I tell ya. Just shocked. So eager to fire employees to save money. Their greed is biting back.

Stop watching. I ❤️ the CBS Sunday Morning show and stopped watching a few weeks ago. It makes me so sad, but I can’t support their news division.

A distributed election system keeps us safer.

Unconscionable. They lie constantly.

I would say unbelievable, but nothing is anymore. New lows daily

Standing up to a pressure campaign.

Chilling.

This was the end goal of the book banners. They were never stopping with library materials in K-12 settings. Really wish people had listened to librarians sounding the alarm years ago.

Oh the irony. Saved because of a constitutional amendment passed in 2012 in reaction to Obamacare, “the laws violated a state constitutional amendment ensuring competent adults have the right to make their own health care decisions.”

Many Venezuelans might not like Maduro, but they might like foreign oil companies coming in to take over even less.

What other consumer product would still be on the market after causing psychosis and suicides?

It’s not the people.

Yep. People incorrectly think it increases sales when it actually harms most writers’ incomes. It’s especially bad for children’s and YA authors when school visits get cancelled too. That’s often how they make enough money to support themselves 😔

What a powerful video! Words matter. The R word blinds people from seeing capabilities. Its use degrades and dehumanizes people with disabilities. When it's hurtful and wounds millions of people, their families and friends. Via Grace Strobel on IG #Pinks

For fans of YA and Jane Austen!

Don’t forget if the Institute of Museum and Library Services doesn’t get funded next year, many public libraries won’t be able to fund ILL anymore. Write your legislators to support IMLS funding, please!

So happy educators are being pushed HARD to use LLMs with students. 😳 There is no way to teach someone how to use a tool ethically when it is unsafe and biased at its core.

So, one of the main reasons they let girls in was because of their dire financial situation due to lawsuits over sexual abuse. It wasn’t some spirit of inclusivity that suddenly overtook the organization. This move hurt the Girl Scouts which is a very inclusive organization.
