Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

happy to contribute to this letter. cannot stress enough how important it is to talk about these practices that dirty the integrity of science and research.

happy pride 🏳️‍🌈

Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

Amazing! The African Translation Project is 98% funded--we are so doing this! ko-fi.com/africantrans...

Let's gooo! Almost there 💜

This could be so sweet! Hoping to meet the goal: ko-fi.com/africantrans...

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes: - Without the patients' consent to participate in research - Affecting minors - 1700 of them - Taking highly sensitive information from said journals This is a HUGE breach.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

What do we want? TRANSLATIONS Translated by who? HUMANS When do we need the money? NOW (well, October 31)

Newsletter: This is The Case Against Generative AI, a comprehensive analysis of a financial collapse built on myths I’ll dispel, the markets’ unhealthy obsession with NVIDIA's growth, and the fact that there is not enough money in the world to fund OpenAI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

This feels so symbolic of the journey I've been on.

Facts.

"A multitude of motion and texture and place, in ways I could only begin to describe, but fortunately, you can experience." Now that the book is officially out there, may I introduce you to the first review?

It wasn't done by design, but it's something that delights me. Every author blurb Hornytown Chutzpah has received has been written by a woman. Has that ever happened in the history of noir? 3 days left for the crowdfunder. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

I wrote a little essay. Would appreciate if you read, share, and tell me what you think. There’s this line in the film Borat where the character is searching Jews for their horns. It’s absurd and meant to be funny, but when I pointed it out to my mom, who grew up in Poland, she grew sober. (1/11)

Did you see? The Ulla Thynell 2026 Calendar is happening! Preview at the link:

$1381 more to go Four days. We can do this. In a world that is increasingly fractured, translations and bridging of worlds are needed connections.

With less then 20k usd a month you can get a wholeass researcher with a phd, and they're real world trained too! They even have these cool biomechanical manipulators that grip things based on object recognition from biochemical vision systems, so they can do lab work too!

EIGHT more supporters! We can do this!

My dream goal with 7 days left on the crowdfunder would be to raise $500 today. Here are some rave reviews by @princejvstin.com & @skiffyandfanty.com www.nerds-feather.com/2025/09/book... skiffyandfanty.com/blog/review-... #camp #noir #fantasy, sly #satire www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

Awesome milestone! ✨✨

They say act like you've been there before. I say treat everything with the joy of a three-year-old discovering it for the first time. 🎉🥳🎈🎈🥳🎉 One of my books is on @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social and reviewed by the @princejvstin.com Check it out! www.nerds-feather.com/2025/09/book...

I keep waiting for someone to reach out, fact check with witnesses such as myself. Not a peep anywhere. The herd behavior coming out of this whole thing is staggering.

A sheyd is framed for murder in the Devil's corner of DC and Detective Sol Weiss is the only one with the Manischewitz to do anything about it. Who Framed Roger Rabbit x Michael Chabon #Humor #Fantasy #noir & look what @princejvstin.com has to say about it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

If people stop liking and sycophantly kissing a white dude's post where he insults Deaf/HoH, women and people with mental health issues but with snark and wittiness... I will be glad But you are still doing it. Gross hypocrites.

That being said - Read. Write. Do not be a jerk.

Announcing the third book! It's still not locked in yet - we have 20 days to do that. Visibility is KEY. Let's get this seen and it will happen.

If you wondered how I came up with the name Hornytown and stuck with it even though the novella has nothing remotely to do with porn. I explain i the first few minutes of this book chat. #speculative #humor #readings #debut #voiceover www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVOg...
