"A cold coming we had of it,
Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, and such a long journey:...

...All this was a long time ago, I remember,
And I would do it again, but set down
This set down
This"
~T.S. Eliot

Scorpio Rising Books - My TBR List ♏📈📚

It's official, I'm ringing the 2026 changes, with an all-new book list "Scorpio Rising Books" following on from a now historical "The Air Signs Booklist"

And it certainly comes with a sting! Watch this (deep)space folks.

So Anna's Archive is trying to cut a deal with LLM companies for scraping.

I then saw someone complaining about how "copyright stealing LLM companies" are beating up on "poor little" sites like Anna's by stealing their content. Um, wtf?

Square that fucking circle for me. Is it only copyright infringement when the LLMs do it?

LOL
