If you want to avoid these AI generations of your Instagram posts, without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.

Judging by the media coverage, the biggest scandal in English football history is that a "spy" was spotted at a training ground, not that so many of its clubs are owned by brutal regimes, private equity grifters and gangsters, and take the money of quasi-criminal crypto companies and bookies.

Aside from anything Marie writes being a must-read (Memoirs of Lady Trent aside, I highly recommend Driftwood; also read their co-authored work with @alychelms.bsky.social, Rook & Rose!) — I'm going to say it again: Read The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson.

I feel like it’s easy to say “Richard Dawkins is a fucking dumbass” but more accurate to say “being intelligent in certain areas doesn’t remotely insulate you from damaging levels of cognitive breakdown and in fact may make you more vulnerable”

a key to understanding the reactionary right, for me, is the realization that there are pleasures in cruelty "and no you are not immune." there's something in the human soul that delights in having someone to look down on--or at least, the capacity for this exists in us

I lost/misplaced this fountain pen for a few years. It’s good to see it again. I wrote most of SABRIEL, LIRAEL and ABHORSEN with it. Here’s a few ms. pages and the entire SABRIEL handwritten ms. in five notebooks.
A page from a notebook with a blue enamel and gold fountain pen and the handwritten text “This is the Waterman fountain pen I used to write most of SABRIEL,LIRAEL, and ABHORSEN (and some later books). It is still going strong some 32-33 years later” and my book signature.A page from the handwritten SABRIEL manuscript. First page of Chapter Four.A page from the handwritten SABRIEL manuscript. First page of Chapter 29.Five black and red notebooks contain the handwritten manuscript of SABRIEL.

Every deep insight, every cunning turn of phrase, every moment of poetry that LLMs deliver was strip-mined from an actual human being who laid their heart bare in prose. So how do the best human writers stack up against their own plagiarized work?

There has never been a better time to accept and vocalize that Jews and the Israeli government are not the same thing. Yes, the Israeli government has worked hard for decades to make us believe opposing its actions is inherently antisemitic. But it isn’t true. It never was.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

This is not some Herculean feat or anything, but I've been having a blast playing Hades 2 (started Christmas Eve) and I finally cleared my last achievements. Haven't been as obsessed with a game in yoinks, not even Hades 1 was on the same level. Prometheus is probably my favorite boss fight!

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

2025 was mostly garbage, but there were some good moments. One of my favorites was when a family of beavers built a dam in just a few days, saving the Czech Republic 30 million Czech koruna (US$1.2 million) for a wetland restoration project the government had been planning for 7 years. 🦫 🌿
nationalgeographic.com
These eager beavers saved the Czech government $1.2 million
After plans stalled for a new dam in the Czech Republic, eight beavers saved the day seemingly overnight. “At this point, nothing that beavers do surprises me.”
