“Experts say the algorithm failed to take into account key cultural issues, including that there is no standard form of transcribing Bengali names into English script, and that Bengali surnames have been adapted over generations, leading to small spelling inconsistencies between family documents.”

Hey, look at me getting this post up not on a Thursday! This week I focused on a single author, @ayidashonibar.bsky.social , and got the chance to yell about both fiction and nonfiction! I couldn't help it though, I love some good, good fungus talk.

Absolutely blown away by this story, no words

We Decay in the Dark by @ayidashonibar.bsky.social is perfect for Easter! 🍆fantastic meals made from the only things on hand 🩶payment for betrayal 🧠a profound conversion of belief

A question for those who know… If—and I mean if— I were to invite Palestinian poets to contribute fantasy, sci-fi, or horror poetry to the new volume of Thyme Travellers, who are some names I should know? The name can be yours, dear reader!

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

US/Israel violate international law in Iran war, 100 legal scholars sign letter.

The bill passed both houses, no surprise, & India is degraded once more. 'Trans men, trans non binary persons and trans women who are not kinner-hijra will NOT be legally recognised as trans anymore! Bill passed without community or NCTP consultation. Calls to differ to select committee ignored.'

So this happened. But it’s not over yet. Trans rights are human rights 💕🏳️‍⚧️ Context: Lok Sabha = UK House of Commons Rajya Sabha = UK House of Lords
