I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

@miriamanzovin.bsky.social I am saddened these depictions of Judith were left out of the last episode. Perhaps in part 2?

In honor of us having a delightful light snow day in Pittsburgh, here's a present for you. Open it right away. But alone. In a locked room. Soundproof if possible. Just be patient and listen to the pretty music. The real present comes at the end. #PulpSabotage

IMLS announces "upon further review" that it is reinstating all federal grants to libraries. It leaves out that it's doing this because a federal court told them a few weeks ago that the Trump admin's decision to destroy libraries was not legal. www.imls.gov/news/stateme...

Seems increasingly like a viable alternative ...

Great list. Ordering some of the fiction he recommends, as I've never heard of them and his descriptions of the thrill of reading them is the dragon I'm constantly chasing...

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Good morning and welcome to my eternal October dilemma

@rubyrapture.bsky.social @kiwicouli.bsky.social If you are going to go cow, commit.

What I dislike about CNN's headline: the story admits Trump didn't say how he would enact a tariff on films or who would pay it. Some say he may not have the power to enact it. So saying he "announces" it sounds more definitive than the situation. READ: https://loom.ly/4XmjZXg

@themarginalian.org.web.brid.gy has an excellent "from the Archives" today on the vampire paradox. The problem with change is that it is unknowable.
