Today’s Ghost Week installment is one of my faves: @milesklee.bsky.social on why it might be time to put the internet out of its misery. www.wired.com/story/let-th...

wired.comPlease Let the Internet DieOnline spaces are captured by oligarchs and saturated with slop—and they’re exacerbating humanity’s worst impulses. It’s time to start over.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Not new, and not discovered...still great news. I offer a, perhaps, more accurate, less colonizing, title: "Western scientists describe a felid known to local communities as Tilcayo. It is the first description of its kind in over a century"

Dr. Matt Schabath (he/him/his)@mattschabathphd.bsky.social

🧪 New cat species identified in Bolivia, first in over a century - Called Tilcayo by local communities, it is part of a group called tiger cats found across much of South America www.reuters.com/business/env...

im sorry but if you use AI ANYWHERE in the process of advertising your art, writing, business, etc, i can and will assume you use it in your actual creative process as well and i wont trust your talents

One insurance denial for Teressa’s husband stated, “your newborn does not meet the criteria for coverage.” “This is when I really start to think they’re just denying,” she recalled. “They’re not even looking. They’re just ‘deny, deny, deny.’” (Published Sept. 2025)

Psa to all of orange county nature photography: with the upcoming rain we have an opportunity for UPCOMING CROW RAINBOW PHOTOGRAPHY. everyone is mandated to spend time looking for crows flying in front of rainbows.

Got a couple dozen crows flying in front of a rainbow, best one was when it was faint, so really had to edit. Not sure if I missed the mark. Edited / original 🪶

Regardless of how you feel about the genuineness of the HK stuff this guy specifically isn’t bringing tried for the protests he’s being charged with meeting multiple American officials to try to push for sanctions and other interventions on China AND HK to punish them

this Pride, keep in mind that trans people are enduring a genocide in the United States, and that genocide includes the highest rates of long covid of any population. when you say "protect the dolls" or "we keep us safe" but you're not masking, you are not, in fact, practicing community care

I met this boy in the woods last year and held back bc I offered to his dad to see him professionally because he was amazed how the boy took a shine to me. They took another course and it exploded exactly how I said it would. He is Indigenous. This is his last chance. This matters.

We need donations for our first teen! He is 15, AuDHD, Plural, CPTSD, learning disability. He showed up and tried and the system failed him. His care took an unfortunate turn so he has pending charges. It is crucial he gets proper intervention now. I need the community to show him he matters.

while we all forget the Bluesky moderation is very flawed, an indigenous activist was taken off of the site twice in a row, & her entire account was labeled "rude". the mute/ block feature exists & are robust on bsky for a REASON. let's not encourage social murder of marginalized people for tone.

Activists and community members rallied Monday to support the Spokane 3, whose trial over federal conspiracy charges started that morning. The case “will set precedent that ripples across the nation. We're calling all of you to raise awareness and to stand in solidarity.”

The AI boom is unsustainable because the entire thing is predicated on cannibalizing the future. Is this a better way to search? Maybe! Will there be anything new for the AI to search if no one gets web traffic from Google Search anymore? There will not.

TechCrunch@techcrunch.com

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and interactive interfaces — a shift that could further reduce traffic to publishers across the web.

While I was away, BlueSky decided that Ali Nahdee needed to go, because marginalized people apparently aren't allowed to speak truth around here. Not surprised, but disappointed. Ali has been doing serious work around Matoaka's story, you can still find her on YouTube. www.youtube.com/@AliNahdee

Day 2 of the Trial of the Spokane 3 begins. Apparently, it actually began 45 min ago despite court saying it was starting at 9 am. So we missed about 40 min of arguing about the additional motion filed by Justice Forral’s attorney about the deputy from yesterday
