I'll give you the short version: they sponsored & supported the most influential AIDS denialist group of the 2000's, resulting in national policies in South Africa that caused an estimated 330,000 deaths there.
They have never apologized or acknowledged what they did.

Henry Ford was a terrible human being, but at least he understood that the economy would be unworkable and unsustainable unless the workers who made Model T's were paid enough to buy Model T's.

Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.
As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

Bree's thread here is so important. (So is the article shared.) Losing weight is almost never just "eat right and exercise." And doctors refusing to believe that can be deadly.
I have posted before about how my GLP-1 pretty much saved my life after covid, but I also strongly believe that people taking them should have access to mental health support, because these medications & discussion around them & how folks treat you would make it so very very easy to hurt yourself.
One of the things I want people to take away from this is (CN: EDs): Anorexia doesn't look like you think.
Sometimes, yes, it does.
But a LOT of times it does not. 🧵

Capitalization affects how people read hashtags or how people hear them on screen readers. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in hashtags instead of lowercase. You could have #DoctorWhoRewatch ("Doctor Who Rewatch") or #doctorwhorewatch ("doctor whore watch.")

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

When I got out of work last night, there was a notification on my phone that my hold on @tkingfisher.com's Hemlock and Silver had come up. So I hit borrow but it was a long week so I didn't start it until this morning. I just finished it. The dedication especially made me smile.

José was one of my professors for my MFA and was on my thesis committee. Going to go ahead and say this is worth a read.
From Michael Agresta, in books: José Skinner knows this material inside and out, and he’s delivered a convincing vision of the Texas-Mexico borderlands in these dark times.
‘The Search Committee’ Is a Subtle Rebuke of the Border Literary Canon
José Skinner’s fast-paced satire delivers sharp insights gleaned from years lived in Mexico and the Rio Grande Valley.

I'd accept a compromise of "everything can be used in the big AI model if the big AI model is freely available."
But walk out of OpenAI or Google with their AI models and you'll be chased by lawyers and feds. IP law is increasingly a one-way system of rich over not, as Internet Archive found out.

That's part of what burns me. I'd be less salty about every single LLM including the entirety of my legal blog (via Common Crawl) if Internet Archive hadn't been held liable for lending out single-copy scans of books it owns. That's not a coherent system, that's "big money always wins."

Getting lost in Jeffrey Epstein file is that Pam Bondi was the Attorney General of Florida (2011 to 2019) when Epstein was running his child sex ring in Florida. What is in the Epstein files about Pam Bondi? Did she protect Epstein as Florida AG?!! Did she protect Trump? More reasons we need file!

Got an author proof of my book!
Glad I did, as I noted at least formatting thing I need to fix before I make the paperback available.
What do you guys think of the formatting on the tagline on the back? Might change it to "The Three Musketeers 'meet' Gundam" just to get the verbs to look better.

I cannot express how much I adore the teas from Friday Afternoon Tea. Their wide range of delicious decaf teas mean I can enjoy something hot and tasty with breakfast. Bonus points if you like nerdy stuff, too, because they carry some incredible fandom blends.
Almost halfway to our total goal, coming up on another scary deadline this week. If we can't pull together $8k ASAP, we're lookin at another penalty fee.
That 1st chunk of change cleared our highest-penalty debt, so already the fees of our debt are much less frightening. Time to clear the next one!
