Lauren WeinsteinYou really have to wonder how the powers-that-be at Wikipedia thought that putting goddamned AI summaries on Wikipedia pages wasn't anything other than Trump-level stupidity.

@pluralistic I really fucking hate the DNC and ActBlue for this very reason. I’ve donate to the democrats and will do so again, but the consequence of even once donating to the democrats is to be constantly barraged by their bullshit in texts and emails, and it pisses me off to no end.
Jeff AtwoodI do not derive entertainment from other people's suffering, and you should not either.
Dare ObasanjoSlowly coming to the conclusion that being informed about what’s going on in America is bad for my mental health.

Existential ComicsCapitalism didn't give us the internet.
Large-scale cooperation, open protocols, and free software gave us the internet. Capitalism gave us mobile sites that don't work because fifteen ads cover the screen.
Charlie StrossWelp, I have just cancelled my Microsoft Office 365 recurring subscription.
Two reasons.
1. I only ever use it to check tracked changes to the copy edits on novels—once a year—which my publishers process in Word. As of this month, LibreOffice is good enough for the job (just tested at book length).
2. CoPilot in Office would open me up to accusations of breach of contract—my book contracts warrant that they're all my own work: CoPilot brings that into question.
So good riddance to Office365!

Peter GleickIt's sad to know US scientists invented the most sophisticated weather forecasting models in the world, the satellites and instruments to measure atmospheric conditions, and an advanced alert system to warn the public of coming disasters, and the Trump administration is destroying it all.
