This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

There are 5 weeks until the midterm elections, I'm annoyed with Patent Public Search already and there are still 1,530 design patents to review, so we're starting with something pretty, namely D1149394 issued for a patterned textile sheet for piece goods, clothing, bags and the like. #DesignPatents

THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS PUBLIC DOCUMENTS. No one should have to verify their identity (much less send their ID information to a tech company) to access patents. <END RANT>

Look at this AMAZING ad I found in an old printers' journal:
Ad from an 1883 printers' trade journal: "Pirates avast!! The Electotype Fiend, and other alleged Type Founders, will have to look elsewhere in future for Novelties, as we have registered all our new designs of ... AMERICAN FANCY TYPE"

lol the vibe shift in AI hype feels like a ploy by U.S. tech bros to permanently keep out competitors. They are cosplaying concern so they can "regulate" their competitors out of existence. It's not about safety. It's about money.
