And for them to not disappear. I’ve lost track of the amount of songs that have disappeared from my music library because the liscencing rights lapsed. Movies aren’t any better. I’m not surprised kids are hopping on the pre-subscription media.

I don’t know why but this reminds me of Keladry from the Protector of the Small series. I love it.

Want to scream louder? This paper as a pro-AI stance. Sydney Morning Herald is A-OK with journalists using AI for research, prompts, analyzing data, and *drumroll* headlines.

This book is Adult not YA. But I shouldn’t be surprised that a newspaper that “our employees are encouraged to be curious about AI.” would skip the most basic level of research.

I’m glad you’re being measured about this because I want to start biting.

This guy is the academic equivalent of a dude screaming voter fraud over single digit bad ballots. And he wants to publicaly humiliate kids over it.

That is a pretty as a postcard. What a wonderful shot.

Thanks!

Wow, that’s impressive. What puzzle is it? My sister would love it.
