With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

As sublime as that last moment is, it’s wild that American Girl isn’t even the best end credits song in a PTA movie from this decade

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

Hey book lovers! Support your local library, of course. Also! Cool news! @bookshop.org has free shipping July 8-11. They also now sell ebooks, which is an excellent development. AND if you sign up for their email, there are periodic boook/ebook deals & I've snapped up many fine books that way. 💚📖🔥📘

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles
The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

"GenAI can simulate all of the steps: it can summarize readings, pull out key concepts, draft text, and even generate ideas for discussion. But that would be like going to the gym and asking a robot to lift weights for you."
I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives:

Teachers Are Not OK
AI, ChatGPT, and LLMs "have absolutely blown up what I try to accomplish with my teaching."

Pow! is cartoon short about a young Native kid trying to charge their video game console at a powwow. It's one of the first times a powwow has ever been animated!
We put our whole hearts into this and we hope you enjoy our trailer.

taking this opportunity to share the mindblowing thing about the Miette tweet I only learned recently: AT NO POINT IN THE ORIGINAL TEXT DOES IT MENTION THAT MIETTE IS A CAT. the text is so evocative that it communicates all without ever needing the c-word.
