New at FFP: 60 years ago, a filmmaker captured an Omaha pastor’s failed attempts to get his white church members to connect with nearby Black churches. The resulting film set off a firestorm. 🔗 buff.ly/rD9Hzvr

Oh. Oops? I cancelled my ChatGPT cause work pays for ... several?

But now a friend dumped me an audio file for transcription. And I don't have easy access to ChatGPT Whisper anymore?

Suggestions?

Was it @arthurdoler.com who cared about fast-switching between multiple accounts / timelines over on Mastodon? Looks like mastodon.online/@IceCubesApp has that built into iPadOS 26 now? It's not a feature I care about, but maybe some people do?

The 72nd and Dodge Starbucks will be closing its doors alongside 58 other unionized stores across the United States as their CEO Brian Niccol is paid 96 million dollars in four months last year. Come here from 5 AM to 9 PM to show solidarity with these workers as we bring visibility to this.

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out
