Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

This is ALSO hugely beneficial to people within publishing companies. Employees in any industry have v little legal leverage to keep AI out of our jobs, but authors have contracts that can keep AI off the books we work on.
I waited 14 months for a publisher to issue a contract with a "no AI" clause (it had to be all lawyered, whatever). I'd do it again. I'm not agreeing to AI covers, audio, translations, blurb, anything. We stand together or we fall apart.
Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.
Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

It's Independent Bookstore Day, so remember that red states are pushing bills that would force booksellers to cover displays related to pride, hide books like "1984" and effectively ban "Banned Book" sections — all under the guise of protecting minors from "pornography"

800+ years of English common law and constitutitonal precedent, as well as 250 years of American constitutionalism, are all designed to prevent precisely this scenario: the executive using their power to declare people guilty and sentence them without due process.

TLDR: the administration wants to remove habitat loss from the definition of "harm" for endangered species, which will effectively gut the ESA.
I just commented. If you're in any way interested in ecology, nature, and the protection of endangered species, you should, too. Free daily action!

My friend's student asks me to share:
The administration is trying to destroy the Endangered Species Act from within. Public commenting is basically the only way to thwart this rule before getting to court. If you have a few minutes to comment:

I know OP probably didn't mean anything by it but please, 'Disney' didn't write Andor. Tony Gilroy and a team of writers wrote it. Your favourite shows aren't authored by corporations. Don't give them the credit. 'Disney' isn't writing, it's patiently waiting to replace their writers with genAI.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

This is from a 1950s coloring book about the three little kittens who lost their mittens. I love the addition of this fabulous Auntie Katie character.

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.
The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.
