it's sad that the ADL has turned into such a trash organization, like far too many other Jewish "public institutions". Just disgusting. Too easy just to say that they don't speak for me, too difficult to know what else to do about it.

This is an absolutely fascinating article about a very bizarre event. Obviously from my perspective the most interesting angle here is the fact that ChatGPT is clearly just spinning SCP-esque containment documentation at Lewis
I wrote about how Geoff Lewis, one of OpenAI’s long running investors, has sparked concern among peers who believe he may be facing a public mental health episode brought on by ChatGPT.

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.

@cloudflare.social Hi! Hate to do this but I've had a ticket open for a week with no response about getting back superadmin access to a cloudflare account - we need it to pay our bill so our access to services will no longer be restricted. We're coming up on a launch date and getting nervous. Help?

just went to see the Dylan movie and wtf was up with those previews... I don't fault them for the two marvel movies, but FOUR horror flicks back-to-back?!? Are those really for the same target audience as a nostalgia romp through folk music?

I have a new story, "Marginalia" out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social today. It's the first piece of fiction I've published in about a year and it's, well, pretty personal.
It's ALSO a story about fighting the giant snails in medieval manuscripts.

And if Israel can’t say anything convincing on its endgame, or worse allows officials to keep floating expulsion and resettlement, then the moral power of calls for ceasefire only increases.
In sum, while an Israeli rejection of CFN makes a great deal of sense in terms of what is at stake and what the likely outcomes of such a policy would be, the policy choices that are being proposed in its stead will be similarly destructive. /END
