Started Beginners’ Polish classes tonight and am very tempted to casually drop intense lyrics of old patriotic Polish songs (the few smatterings of vocabulary with which I’m confident) into casual exchanges. 🇵🇱

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

These Maine librarians are helping patrons resist AI and Big Tech

Despite breathless reporting on how AI is going to change the world, Hannah Cyrus, a Bangor librarian, said that, in her experience, most library patrons aren’t finding it helpful.

The phrase “Do not invent facts.” implies a lack of comprehension regarding what a fact is which makes the prompt meaningless. But, don’t worry, I wasn’t seeking meaning in all of this madness. 👨‍💻

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Every time I see an article like this, Im reminded of all the people who pushed to re-open schools without any protections, who swore that children would not be impacted at all, and who also were happy risking the health and lives of teachers and school staff.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope."

Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war.

A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic.

Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope.

"DnD is a gateway drug" carries with it the less-than-subtle implication that there are other TTRPGs that are harder, more addictive, and less accessible.

Feels like there are fewer non-game-table locations to sit at this year’s @breakoutcon.bsky.social … probably a hotel-driven choice, but it certainly makes for a less comfortable experience to sort your goodies, or just chill between games, standing or on the floor.

In fact, every NPC can be hot. Try and stop me. I'll see you in court.

Ginny Di is dressed as a redheaded warlock. Small horns sprout from her forehead and there are arcane markings on her cheeks. With blackened fingertips, she holds a burned white cloak over her head. Text on the image reads "Reminder that you can simply decide that the mysterious cloaked stranger is hot. No one can stop you. This is your table."
