#booksky, what makes a character real for you? For me, it's their memories. If a character has (juicy) history with others in the book, I'm enthralled. Give me the gossip!

It would be funny if it weren’t devastatingly embarrassing that the government has zero understanding of U.S. history.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Why would I want to go to such a place? The Hispanic Christians and New York Jews and rural gays and born-in-other-countries people I met in college were half my fucking education. At least as valuable as the books you read are the people you read them with.

Yep. Almost every time I have to ask them to take the "in perpetuity" boilerplate lingo out. I think it's standard in contract templates, and not a surefire indicator of ill intent, but people definitely need to look for it.

AUTHORS! ASSEMBLE!
On Tuesday, US District Judge William Alsup confirmed that Anthropic and the authors "believe they have a settlement in principle" and will file a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement by September 5.

The settlement announcement comes after Alsup certified what AI industry advocates criticized as the largest copyright class action of all time. Although the lawsuit was raised by three authors—Andrea Bartz, Kirk Wallace Johnson, and Charles Graeber—Alsup allowed up to 7 million claimants to join based on the large number of books that Anthropic may have illegally downloaded to train its AI models.

If every author in the class filed a claim, industry advocates warned, it would "financially ruin" the entire AI industry.

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.

Writing is very hopeful because you'll be like: I don't know if people will like this book. I don't know if the industry will exist in 2 years. I'm not sure North America will be functional in 6 months And still finishing writing the book to go on sub anyway. Hope springs eternal! 🖤

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.
X post:

Elon Musk

@elonmusk
We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. 

Could gone to some great parties.

Did that instead.U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means.

The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy.

First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 26/01/2025
It's my boyfriend's birthday today!
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are flopped down on the floor, cuddling on top of each other.
Green: Have you figured out what you want yet?
Blue: A little hut with a garden in the woods, with a lake nearby.

A vision of Blue rowing a garden with a long-handled hoe, wearing a straw hat.
Blue, narrating: To spend my summers fishing, foraging, and growing vegetables

Another vision of Blue, now admiring his row of assorted cans and jars.
Blue, continuing to narrate: Drying, canning and preserving enough to last the winter.

Back to present day, Blue and Green are laying down in the exact same spot and position as earlier.
Green: I meant for your birthday.
Blue: Oh. You don't have to get me anything.
