Surround yourself with the kind of people who understand that your habit of inhaling the smell of books is not a choice, but rather a compulsion.

Read a meme on here stating: "Better a (f-word gay slur) than a fascist." No! The correlation suggests that both are bad and nor should we accept the language of our oppressors. There are better ways to say things imo.

The Telegraph has now published not one but three separate corrections of its repeated false claims about "illegal immigrants in London". The latest one is of Lord Frost's bizarre and ignorant rant here: archive.ph/HBZLF

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Seems important that in Fahrenheit 451, books were still “available” in single-paragraph summaries—“read Hamlet in five minutes!”—but the books themselves had been banned for being too difficult. Tech boosters see a warning and think it’s an instruction manual.

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.
