TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

AUTHORS!!
Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON?
Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Socialism is when workers who produce value own all the means of production (factories, machines, tools, etc) instead of a ruling class of owners.
Communism is the end goal of socialism. It is a stateless, classless, moneyless society that is also socialist.
I personally like socialist capitalism.

Although I definitely want to meet (or exceed!) that $2500 goal
One good thing about running the #CozyCatJam charity bundle on Itch: even if we don’t make the goal, every penny goes directly to @alley-aristocats.bsky.social
And every little bit helps 💙🐈⬛

Watch every second of this.
Our worst fears are here. With Trump’s new bill, the police state is no longer looming—it’s official.
Expect more raids on a massive scale, shattered families, and a brutal crackdown on humanitarian protections.

There will now be 10,000 new ICE agents & 100,000 new detention beds--and few safeguards protecting people from constitutional violations by the feds.
Time for states to pass laws allowing people to sue fed agents. Read about it these "converse-1983" statutes here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as *Air Force One*
Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.
