At the end of Native American Heritage month, remember every time you follow or share LakotaMan1, a colonizer gains a bustle. So, just don't do it folks.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?
John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

We also don't talk enough about how the demands of a sport and the demands of long-term health and longevity are not always compatible.
Football and CTE are the most extreme examples of this, but we need to stop thinking that athletes are healthy, period (said neutrally)

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Dubbing with genAI: ‘It's not saving time, it's not saving money, and it could hurt our brand if it damages the quality too much.’
Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Maybe another way to think of it is as the "participation line" - the income one needs to fully participate in expected aspects of US life without worrying about plunging into deprivation one way or another

You really have to read this thread. The genius of Tom Stoppard, the fragility of memory, the magic of theatre — and the glorious stubbornness of a researcher who would not stop.
Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

This is tangential to the whole discussion but it pisses me off that we can't get gay boy MG books unless the kid is being bullied because publishing thinks gay boy = sex = not child appropriate, but somehow adult shows based on romance novels should just be mutual pining. Pick a lane, homophobes!
Also isn't the plot of the book that they're fuck buddies who fall in love? How.... How do you have fuck buddies with no fucking???

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images.
The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

Also worth pointing out that this is nearly sixty thousand dollars a year, assuming it's a full-time job. I'm still conditioned to think of 60K as decent money, at least in Indiana; I realize it doesn't go as far in other places. It just ... isn't, anymore.
I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.
It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.
