The new documents in copyright cases against AI companies show the lengths to which tech firms such as Anthropic, Meta, Google and OpenAI went to obtain colossal troves of data with which to “train” their software, including by buying, scanning and disposing of millions of books.

Kudos to the committee members for all their hard work this past year and MAJOR congratulations to all the winners!

Back in the Twitter days of yore, I somehow managed to live tweet *and* request library books at the same time. Idk how I did that.

I only requested 40 books during the #alayma announcements this morning. Not bad!

My take away from what’s happening in Minneapolis is that it crushes the lie that people are by nature selfish. When the time calls for it, people can do astonishing things to keep their communities safe in the face of all odds.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Welp, it's weird to be sharing positive news when we've got an American city basically occupied. But then again, the offer for this project came through the week Trump got re-elected so....

I have been trying to explain what a journalist is, what they do, and why, and why they are different from talking heads, pundits, influencers, commentators, activists and politicians.

This is a journalist.

Sharyn Alfonsi, a correspondent for 60 Minutes, sent an internal email to colleagues stating that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss “spiked our story” about the Trump administration and the transfer of deportees to a prison in El Salvador.

CBS News now has to decide if it's a news organization or a White House propaganda instrument. If it is the former, Bari Weiss should lose her job over this decision, and CBS News staffers should go public and say she does not have their confidence. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...
