At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating "I support Palestine. Action must be taken." My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

We don’t often think about pet consent. But particularly with anxious ones it’s important to. Stopping and holding a hand nearby gives anxious Amis a chance to ask for more or leave when she’s done. And then less anxious Poppy gets involved! #pet #consent #anxiety #care #compassion #kindness

After he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, Albert Camus wrote a letter of thanks to his favorite childhood teacher, whom he'd never forgotten. It's beautiful.
