These AI companies have shown zero morals until now - which is more likely? That they've suddenly developed scruples, or that they need to distract from AI's lack of economic returns? I'll believe they're worried about ending the world when they start building net-zero data centers!

Before we all buy into Anthropic's narrative, ask yourself why they would tell this story about themselves. Then go see what Cory Doctorow thinks: pluralistic.net/2026/09/12/g...

There are few things that are as comforting as feeding my dog and hearing him eat, cronch cronch cronch. Which is funny because I HATE hearing humans eat. Dog cronches, though? Perfection.

This is happening to us at my bookstore - orders coming from a bunch of different names/companies, *including* Trinity which is mentioned in this article. I find it difficult to articulate how I feel about this.

For anyone who needs it, this is Prudence, a silken windhound who visited the bookstore today. 100/10 would hire her on the spot if she didn't already have full time work as someone's beloved pet. #dogs

"Dickinson’s poetry is touching, relatable, humourous and playful, combining the lyrical written word with the keen-eyed observation of a naturalist." 💖😭😍 comoxvalleyrecord.com/2026/07/22/p...

We see the sun as golden. Yet this is an optical illusion. In reality, our sun shines in pure white. Earth's atmosphere scatters the sunlight, coloring it gold to our eyes. That is why sunrises and sunsets appear so colorful. A small miracle of physics. A source of great wonder at nature.

that poem I was working on in 1959
and the half-done one-act play from 1969
the novel I spent 1979 starting
the painting I made sketches for throughout 1989
and the website I planned to debut 1999
are around here somewhere
maybe I should

CUSTOMER: Something makes me feel like you're not really the manager. ME (inside my head): Hmm, how mysterious! I wonder what subtle cue you've picked up on that's making you feel like I couldn't possibly be in charge? Could it be my vagina? #customerservice

Scientifically, a raven has 17 primary wing feathers, the big ones at the end of the wing. They are called pinion feathers. A crow has 16. So, the difference between a raven and a crow is only a matter of a pinion.
