Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

The lock screen of my work-provided Windows laptop has been incessantly advertising Copilot and AI tools. Today it's asking "How can we protect rights?" and "How can we earn trust?"
If you have to ask these questions, Microsoft, I don't think you've been paying attention to literally anything.

Knowing the vibe here, this won't be groundbreaking for #BookSky but there isn't a single question about books you can ask an AI that you won't get a much more useful answer from a bookseller or librarian, and we don't burn a bunch of coal to answer you. (Well, I mean, I don't.)

Short story idea: The log of an overworked search-and-rescue team documenting the ways people have gotten hurt, lost, or killed by following "AI" despite the numerous signposts, trail markers, and other guides. As the absurdity escalates, so too does the team members' sarcasm and cynicism.
"AllTrails has a new generative AI feature that can be asked to 'shorten my route' or 'make this more scenic.'
But the people in charge of searching for lost hikers say the feature is going to exacerbate an issue they’ve been warning about for years: hiking apps providing false information."

Many disabled folks rely on powered devices to keep them alive. The extreme heat of summer often causes power outages, which kills disabled people.
This is a downstream devastation of climate change - and why climate justice is so important.
It’s the marginalized who will suffer the most.

People with disabilities will often be impacted harder & faster by extreme weather events.
Check on the disabled people in your life. See if they have contingency plans and include them in emergency preparedness.
