if you would like to look like a fashionable survivor of the rodeo circuit may i recommend spending a lot of time on a horse. i realize that's completely infeasible for most people but it is pretty fun, unlike shopping for pants

SPUFFY IS GOOD!!!!!

really funny stuff. okay that's enough libbing out from me

Am obviously not anywhere near the first person to point this out, but I think it's a pretty useful framework. AI is also a nuts-and-bolts logistical nightmare for a workforce that is constantly being harassed, threatened, and forced to defend their work. They are fixing/fending off AI bullshit

and then they did their big stupid montage to master of puppets, which is not even really thematically relevant. stranger things has so many crimes to answer for

i hear what you're saying and i don't disagree but i am so supportive of the dodgers' strategy of "paying baseball guys lots of money to win baseball games" instead of fucking people over in free agency. and i like it when mookie's happy. abolish the luxury tax and juice revenue sharing

so it's not exactly obvious to me that B&T did anything wrong with their metadata product other than walk into a problem that clarivate already demonstrated with the whole metadoor thing. anyway 404media does superb work covering libraries, sub 404media today

the OCLC suit its is own horrible can of worms too; MARC records aren't obviously copyrightable (sweat of the brow/feist v. rural telephone), but OCLC has aggressively pursued litigation to keep anyone else from creating open MARC databases, often using tort claims in place of dubious copyright ones

i bet your library loves you back! nothing better than a regular patron with interesting reading habits and/or cute children

shoutout to the library patron who was really annoyed about outlook not working on the library computer until he realized that it was microsoft's fault & then immediately was like 'well, that explains it, thank you for your help.' good day to you out there. bad day to my mortal enemy satya nadella 👿
