I get all my books from bookshop.org, they’re great. And they won’t give a single cent to Jeff “Destroyer of Venice” Bezos. But they will support local bookstores!
You are cordially invited to our Anti-Prime Sale, where every purchase will financially support bookstores, NOT billionaires 🥳

I am on the record about the Steelers being as morally bankrupt as anyone in the NFL but come on people...seriously this is who you want in Pittsburgh? Not just an idiot but a dangerous idiot.
Here’s Aaron Rodgers talking about vaccines causing “turbo-cancer” and killing children. Rodgers then wonders about the nanobots implanted inside the Covid vaccines.

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
The people refusing to use AI
Worried about the environment and the loss of skills, some people are resisting the rise of AI.

Libraries and local bookshops. That's who you should be patronizing. Local bookstores if you can afford it. The library if you can't. Period. Full stop. Don't give the heartless ghouls at Amazon a penny.
Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Short-term focus on profitability and balanced budgets is shortsighted and could cause long-term harm to Pennsylvania cities.

Waymo is peak American innovation. With way less money they could have built a reliable public transport network, but instead someone was like "what if we could find a way for empty vehicles to contribute to traffic too? There's no reason we can't have more cars on the road than there are drivers"
