Exclusive: The Associated Press has reached a two-year deal with OpenAI to share access to select news content and technology.
It's one of the first official news-sharing deals between a major U.S. news company and an AI firm.

Lots of anti-bird posting on my TL today. Need I remind you that
• RAVENS will take pieces of bark and literally WIND-SURF on thermal updrafts in the mountains
• HONEYGUIDES are so named because they will guide humans to beehives containing DELICIOUS HONEY
• GREATER BLACK-BACKED GULLS can swallow a WHOLE RABBIT without chewing
All this (and more) just goes to show that birds are
• cool as hell
• helpful and friendly
• but most importantly, if YOU choose to mess with them, they CAN and WILL fuck you up
So please think twice before you disrespect birds on this federated verse! 🙏

Last night I went to a book talk for an online acquaintance's new book and hung out a little after and I hadn't had one of those nice "I know you from online so nice to meet" hangouts in many years, it's nice that can still happen sometimes
Just saw a lady on the street kill a spotted lantern fly and called out "good job"
@Aepasek I hope the exclamation points were not too much lol
@Aepasek this is so good!! Congratulations!!!!

I made a new zine all about how ICT climate politics look productively different if we focus less on green consumer behaviours and more on opposing infrastructure expansions. It's quite fun, and written with a non-academic audience in mind!

Metallic-green Tanager
Small tanager found in Andean subtropical zone from Colombia to Peru. Unique seafoam green color, often appearing fairly dull. Greener than Golden-naped Tanager and lacks the spangled appearance of Beryl-spangled Tanager. Also note small black mask, black nape, and black wings with thin green edges. Buffy undertail coverts and vent only visible at some angles. Sexes alike. A fairly common member of mixed flocks from around 1,300–2,300 m, in cloud forest and edges.

*flings open window* “You there, boy! What day is this?”
“To-day? Why, it's the Anthropocene Working Group's announcement of the ‘golden spike’ location, a single geological repository of evidence that best embodies the proposed epoch.”
Controversial retail take
@tim fair enough
Controversial retail take
@maxfenton ohhh tertulia seems cool!!
Controversial retail take
I've used them and all but honestly it is not clear to me that bookshop dot org is genuinely better on a warehouse labor conditions level than Amazon? But would be happy to be told they are actually good and fair employers or whatever
