In Google Chrome, if you navigate to an URL containing '/course/', you get a button in the address bar that lets you upload a part of that webpage via Google Lens into I assume Google Gemini. It even works for made up URLs, e.g.; I get the button when navigating to

@tylerjameshill.com are you sure you are not mistaken that AOC's Israel/Palestine posts were here on Bluesky, and not on Twitter or some other platform?
Update: I think Tyler may be wrong about this, because according to an Internet Archive screenshot from November '24, AOC was not active on Bluesky between that month and July '23.

Does the Houthi PC scandal have a Harry Potter parody yet?
Harry gets added to the magic "Return of the Dark Lord" chat group by accident, and so gets visions of their evil plans, but also banal sycophantic emoji messages from Lucius Malfoy and the others.

I recently finished Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social and it explains a lot of what's happening in America right now, especially if combined with her previous book Culture Warlords. Recommended.

We intend to measure the bias of the bias meter with a meta-bias meter
LA Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong says his bias meter will use an A.I. patent called the “Reasoning Engine.”
“The meter will be displayed atop a piece of writing to tell readers where it ranks on a scale that will range from ‘far left’ to ‘far right.’”
