Twitter/X will delete all heuristics and allow its AI bot Grok to determine what you see on the platform.

This should be a death knell

The chronic illness community have expressed concerns about leaving. The spoons required for migration. Losing networks of care.

My guide to help:
The Xitter Exodus and What it Means for the Disability Community
Disabled and chronically ill people have long used Twitter/X for community, fundraising, companionship and support. With folks leaving in droves - where will we go and how can we stick together?

🤖 Prominent AI scientists call for a halt to the “uncritical adoption of AI technologies in academia” in an open letter.

The authors of the position paper oppose… insist that “university leaders and administrators must act to help us collectively turn back the tide of garbage software” (sic).

It's Asexual Awareness Week (or Ace Week)! Did you know #asexuality isn't just one thing, but an entire spectrum with many identities and experiences?

No matter where you are on the ace spectrum, you are part of our community!

Happy Ace Week! Ace week runs this year from 19th to 25tb October.

This week should be about ace joy, as much as it is about awareness, education etc. but we know this week can be difficult too because with increased visibility there also comes acephobia.

In a historical context where art is being ripped off and stripped of its nuance, I find old school plagiarism equally abhorrent.
UKL’s quote was embedded in their thread without quotes or attribution.

I’m not assuming anything.

That thing about a gun in their mouth? That’s plagiarized from Saul Williams.

@philmandelbaum.bsky.social plagiarizes and blocks when you point to the source material. Gotta wonder about a “creative” scraping Ursula K LeGuin, thinking no one is going to recognize her style, content, and widely circulated NBF quote about art vs inevitability.

This entire argument by Louisiana and the conservatives questions are premised on an erasure of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.

Literally swinging for the fences to wipe out the premise for the legitimacy of Congress’ power to enact civil rights statutes.
