I’m begging novel writers to hire an artist for their covers. At least someone who can do graphic design at a minimum. I see the worst book covers on here everyday and you’re all doing such a disservice to yourself to put in the effort to write a whole book only to turn people away with a bad cover.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

A Russian FPV drone struck Ukrainian bread delivery driver in Sumy Oblast, injuring him. The operator saw it wasn't a military target, but directly targeted the vehicle

Under the Geneva Conventions, such actions can be classified as war crime

Masking indoors in public spaces boils down to this for me now:

I love never being sick from airborne infectious diseases.

The last cold I had was in early 2019, with not even a sniffle since. The only thing I don't do is dine indoors in public spaces; a good trade for health.

The fact that these drones are murdering innocent people in Ukraine is the only reason they are not murdering innocent people deeper into Europe.

#EndRussia - before Russia ends you.
All of Ukraine is currently covered with hundreds of Russian drones and missiles.
It's impossible to have sufficient "air defense."
Ukraine needs thousands of long-range offensive weapons to destroy Russian military bases.
