I absolutely LOVED the 1st Reign of the Empire #audiobook, but learning the series is DRM restricted is a *major* letdown as a @[email protected] user and #StarWars fan. Publishers like @[email protected] need to stop doing this. Authors and readers deserve better. @[email protected] #books

In today's snippet of The Olden World, we casually use the word "edgehorse".

Rudin. Free audiobook with scrolling text on YouTube.

Ivan Turgenev’s Rudin arrives like a shadowed whisper across the 19th-century Russian soul, a novel that lingers not for its plot, but for the aching void it carves between ambition and action, intellect and feeling.

She was a better physicist than he was.

This reading is The Experiment by Natasha Irving, a District Attorney in rural Maine and a happy mother. The quantum concept is teleportation. She didn't resent the child that kept her home while he worked. She just resented him.

For my first time I've ordered an #audiobook — actually, two: both 'Reverse Centaur' and @pluralistic's previous publication 'Enshittification'. I pledged a #Kickstarter donation for the former, receiving a copy as a premium for doing so. I also picked up a copy of the latter to listen to while driving, despite already having a signed hardcover, thanks very much Cory. Both are being sent to me by way of the very cool #libroFM audiobook library & app, for which I have a discount code if anyone wants to check it out (not going to post it bc that'd be spam but DM me please if you want).

AI, its branding and imposition, must be repelled. Its intentions are #surveillance & #dataCollection, #propaganda & #manipulation, the murder of #labor and the #public #economy and, by way of its required build-out of massive-scale #dataCenters, theft of public-funded electricity and Earth's virtually entire supply of drinking water among other #publicGoods, and the generation of extreme, deadly, global heat. What else is missing from this description of the #AIatrocity? The deflection from actual social priorities: Not just parasitic & deadly but also immoral. And really Doctorow's primary point I think, is that it makes no economic sense at all. An industry without benefit.
