Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, board games, video game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, computers, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, passport services and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit 📚❤️

While I can see the benefits of AI in many areas, this is a NO WAY for me. Publishers be warned: listeners are very choosy about audio narrators. Do this at your peril. Better not to have an audiobook at all, than this. #booksky

Sheesh, that's a huge error! Incredible that no one fixed that. (Skip the ad to go directly to their mistake.)

I'm trying to think of what to call this. It's not al Kristallnacht. We need a name for this kind of government violence, of snatching people off the street and going into places without a warrant. We should name it, not them.

You're absolutely not an idiot. People at all levels are being tricked with AI-created images, personas, articles, voices,+ everything else. There are many strategies to defeat/recognize these, w. only partial success. Only way to live is to be suspicious of everything, which is an incredible shame.

"Wild Dark Shore" is just extraordinary. An island in the cold sea, wildlife + plants, a research station, part of a family taking care of it all, a stranger washed up during a storm. Enthralling, unpredictable, gorgeous writing. #booksky #WildDarkShore #CharlotteMcConaghy

Look, another disgusting display from Karoline Levitt at the White House. I mentioned these people are arrested and not charged. Her boss #Trump has 34 felony convictions and a rape charge which is probably 34 more than most of these people. The people in the Whitehouse are children.
