We're constantly told that Donald Trump is playing three dimensional chess when, instead, he's just trying to play demential go-fish.

Just because you/I don't understand AI doesn't mean that no one does. So many people buy into this 'poorly understood' line that lets commercially-motivated tech companies off the hook for harms & near-catastrophes. Kudos to @emilymbender.bsky.social & @timnitgebru.blacksky.app for this.

They are some of the first in the Philly area to experience firsthand what it’s like to live near the massive facilities. Some of their neighbors have sold their homes to the data center developers.

Too many proposals to regulate AI treat data privacy, children's safety, worker rights, and market concentration as separate issues. My National AI Charter policy changes the entire market structure, forcing AI companies to shut down their dangerous models BEFORE harm occurs.

A graphic titled "A National AI Charter Could Stop Dangerous AI Before Harm Occurs" lists several points:

1. End to Big Tech Monopolies
2. Ban on Mass Surveillance
3. Ban on AI Theft
4. Ban on Labor Exploitation
5. Ban on Rogue AI
6. Ban on AI That Can Create Catastrophic Risks
7. Ban on Exploitative AI

Angie Nixon is a Black woman who was born and raised in Florida. She attended school there. She’s raising a family there. She’s operated small businesses, done grassroots community activism, and served in public office—all in Florida. That’s who Vance says “doesn’t belong in America.”

Your 3rd dose today of Anthropic settlement madness (at least from me). Authors, CHECK YOUR CLAIMS! Your situation may have changed, per this email from the settlement administrator that some authors are receiving (subject heading: Anthropic Copyright Settlement: Allocation Updates)

We made updates that may affect your claim.
What Changed?
Wed, Sep 30,
2026 at 5:35 AM
Based on feedback from claimants, we updated how certain works are categorized.
In particular, where multiple claimants submitted default claims for the same
ownership interest in a work, we changed those works from agreement to
disagreement.
In addition, the portal is updated to reflect that some claimants changed their sole
ownership claims to default claims, and some claimants withdrew their claims.
What This Means for You
As a result of these updates, some works on your claim may now be categorized
differently. We encourage you to review the current allocations for your works.
How to Review and Update Your Allocations
Please use your claim number and PIN above to log into the portal below.
Claim Summary and Allocation Portal
For help making updates, please visit the allocation portal instructions.
If You Already Submitted Updates
If you already updated the allocation for a work, then you do not need to
submit those updates again. Any changes you submitted previously
through the online portal are recorded, but the portal is not being
updated in real time. If you submit multiple updates for the same
copyright number, your most recent submission will replace any earlier
submissions

What’s Next?
We will continue to work with claimants to help resolve disputes.
For works where all rightsholders are in agreement and where all necessary
payment information is provided, we expect to send a first round of payments in
November 2026.
If You Have Questions
Please contact us at 1-877-206-2314 or info@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com.

One month ago today.

August 29, 2026 – Google Maps obeyed Trump’s order to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” for U.S. users. The move quickly drew backlash and accusations of “bending the knee.” Google donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, and CEO Sundar Pichai publicly thanked Trump after a favorable antitrust resolution in September 2025.

"The doctor kept talking about sadness, not nerve damages." Gesehen bei @errrferrr.bsky.social 🖤

Pain Scale
Richard Siken
My primary care physician is not a neurologist. He doesn't understand the difference between sadness and damage. I do not like this man. He refuses adjectives. He wants me to say My pain is eight, instead of Thunderous and unsettling. When he says You'll be fine, I have to explain that I won't because I've never been fine, but I'm not saying it right. It concerns him, my attitude. I think many people struggle with my aesthetic. I am back at the first hospital, the one that said I wasn't having a stroke. This is where insurance sent me. The first time I saw this man, once I got out of the hospital, he also didn't believe I had a stroke and wouldn't refill my prescriptions. The hospitals weren't sharing my charts. He watched me struggle with my walker as I went down the long hall to the elevators, thinking I was faking it. The second time, I had a crying jag that started in the waiting room. I kept crying while the nurse weighed me and took my blood pressure. The doctor kept talking about sadness, not nerves damage. He would not increase the dose of the muscle relaxant. He did not want to discuss spasticity. He thought I was showing drug-seeking behavior. Throw a rattle, a baby would. Chew off your leg, an animal would. This is the third time I have been in this office. My pain is eight. I am speaking in his language. He isn't listening.

Summer Poem

Bed goes up, bed goes down.
Just tie me to me to you.
For clarity's sake.
For a full length feature.
For, or just, orgasmic, like they say.
I have now provided the sensuous idea of freedom.
I'm very pleased you were able to attend.
