Have you ever used an AI-tool (book recommendation engine, summariser, smart reader-app) to pick or read a book? What did it change for you — the choice, the experience, the meaning? And if you use some that you liked, can you recommend them? #booksky #technology

Some don’t know they can ask! When people have a voice and feel respected anger dissipates. Not everything is fixed and healed but at least we’re going in the right direction and can open up to what’s right. When we come with our voice we find hope, with hopelessness, we ain’t got nothing to loose!

This man was so ahead of his time and relevant now!
This Netflix documentary is about Ed Sullivan and his TV variety show from the 50s to 70s. His show was more than a statement—he booked Black artists despite pressure from sponsors, CBS executives, and affiliates who objected during segregation

QUESTION- why is the Epstein stuff being voted on by Congress I mean, why is Congress involved in this and not the courts? I don’t understand how that is? Can somebody tell me? Why is this not just a regular bad thing?
