hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books
It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

This is an absolutely astonishing report.

I want to highlight what I believe is a significant document that I reviewed for this story. It's a memorandum of understanding between DOGE & CFPB. In all the coverage of DOGE's takeover of agencies I haven't read or heard about a document like this. I think this stands out

Merely hiring a person of color in any desirable role is gonna get categorized as a verboten “DEI effort.”

Did you know that @nytguildtech.bsky.social created a few strike-related games that you can play guilt-free while respecting the picket line?
For example, you can play Strikle! Or you can help Scabby cross 8th Avenue to the picket line guild-build.netlify.app

For the first time since the start of the pandemic, I've been able to really concentrate on reading a book in text rather than having to stick to audiobooks. I'm very excited to be four years old again.
