An increasing number of bookstores in Japan are leasing out their shelves to book lovers to allow them to sell the works they want to recommend, fostering communities of such “shelf owners.” 👉 ebx.sh/CY9y2V

In the latest twist in human evolution, scientists have discovered that a mysterious foot found in Ethiopia belonged to a previously unknown ancient relative.
Mystery foot suggests a second early human relative lived alongside Lucy
With an opposable big toe resembling a human thumb, the fossilized Burtele foot suggested its owner was a skilled climber, researchers said.

As a consequence of this thread, I've learned Orson Welles felt so bad about people assuming Susan Alexander from Citizen Kane was based on Marion Davies, and the subsequent effect on her reputation, he wrote a foreword for Davies' memoir of her life with Hearst stressing that she wasn't.
Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies.
Marion Davies!

Given that’s there’s a non-zero chance the pipeline never happens but Carney gets blamed for supporting it and failing to get it done, I’m going to call this one a questionable move!

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands
And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is
