REMINDER: Wisconsin has same-day voter registration.
So, if you haven’t registered or recently moved or anything like that, you can register at your polling place (with ID and proof of residence) TODAY.
Every state should do this. It’s great that Wisconsin does this. Go vote.

I want to note that the database used to train Meta AI included books on every topic you could ever think of, my mother’s monograph of her architecture was in the database, so were articles my aunt wrote 20 years ago on South American economies.
This is not just a problem for novelists.

My dad was a contributor on NPR for over 30 years and I remember like 10-12 years ago, he commented on how much more pushback he got on the content he wanted to talk about, how much more “careful” NPR was about having “measured” responses. He found it infuriating.
New: NPR's standards editor seemingly accidentally sent an email to the entire newsroom today advising All Things Considered host Ari Shapiro against attending a pride event.
Shapiro said NPR has previously allowed him to attend similar corporate events, and asked what changed.

I encourage Minnesotans to give Sen. Klobuchar's office a call: 202-224-3244
Let her know what you think about her strategy of finding common ground with the Nazi authoritarians currently dismantling our government and attempting to disappear trans & intersex folks and immigrants.

Michigan Quarterly Review having a contest for AI generated/LLM texts isn’t surprising but it’s still disappointing. Claiming that you want people to subvert expectations through using software that is unethical is not subversion.

Special Counsel Jack Smith said in a final report that the evidence would have been sufficient to convict Trump in a trial, had his 2024 election victory not made it impossible for the prosecution to continue.

Special Counsel Report Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election Case
The report, which said the special counsel’s office stood “fully behind” the merits of the prosecution, amounted to an extraordinary rebuke of the president-elect.
