Hi Bluesky….

three pieces I wrote are here.
There's a lawsuit about AI stealing your work. It's the same lawyers taking on Elsevier et al in a separate case.

Academics:
1. Check if your work is in LibGen at www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

2. If so, let the lawyers know at www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...
There are tons of graphic novels, academic papers, film and TV scripts, & prose novels/nonfiction on the LibGen list Anthropic used.

As settlement approaches, make it easy for the class action lawyers to contact you! Here’s how

Part 1: is your work in Libgen?

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files.

As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed.

Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

Feels like a good time to point out that starvation of a civilian populace is a war crime. By the very definition of genocide, the Israeli government is doing it. There is no defence, no deflection, the Israeli government is committing genocide while the world watches.

Israel denies it is responsible for shortages of food - but aid groups have accused its government of creating "chaos, starvation, and death".

This is Yasir. He’s 21 yo. He fled Sudan after he was kidnapped & tortured by the RSF.

Thx to his legal team @Door_NYC he walked out of his ICE check-in today (unlike too many others).

The best of birthday presents to have been there to meet him. Amazing what a New Yorker he’s already becoming.

It bears repeating that the new paper showing that the U.S. has significantly higher rates of pediatric deaths than similar countries demonstrates that these deaths are primarily caused by:

Firearms
Motor vehicle crashes
Substance use
Homicide

And are driven by:
Economic and racial disparity
Trends in US Children’s Mortality, Chronic Conditions, Obesity, Functional Status, and Symptoms
This study aims to determine how US children’s health has been changing from 2007 to 2023 using multiple data collection methods and a comprehensive set of health indicators.

Egypt friends: I need to look into this further but the British may have been involved in the killing of Abbas the 1st. Anyone ever speculate this? Mr Bruce was working with one of Abbas’ servants just before he died. Maybe some day I’ll address this tangent

studying medicine is not studying hospitals or doctors…it’s actually a really interesting field that requires active engagement across geographies if you want to do it right.
