Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Actually my favorite bird etymology is that in 1400s England they gave human nicknames to birds (Jenny Wren, Tom Tit) but some of them stuck. Jack Daw became Jackdaw, Maggie Pie became Magpie. With Robin Redbreast they just dropped the original name of the bird entirely.

Whoa: The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft got a spectacular view of Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) as it passed close to the Sun. Look at that enormous, splintered tail!
This comet won't be seen again for another 600,000 years. 🧪🔭

Lots of fun stuff being made lately using the Jetstream, the firehose of all Bluesky posts. Here’s a growing thread of my favorites. (Send me more!)
See the colors of BlueSky, live!

Once again, opening a new Word document I'm reminded of the time Pakistan's Prime Minister was implicated in a massive corruption scandal for forging financial documents for the year 2006 using Calibri, a typeface that didn't exist until 2007.

Anyone else think it's weird that the Sk8er Boi wrote a song about his ex, then got his new girlfriend Avril Lavigne to sing it to her?
