I want my taxes to go to helping people, including people with mental health problems/ neurodivergence. I deeply resent the the word 'handouts'. They're the earnings of hardworking people such as myself who actively want to give back to society. The politicians don't own this money. We do.

“Libraries will only exist for as long as we borrow from them. Consider it your civic duty” Excellent here - written in Aus but applies everywhere. Don’t forget borrowing is not just physical books - huge selection of digital audio, ebooks, magazines too. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In a world as noisy as ours, we need the quiet space of libraries. They are community hubs that serve whoever walks through the door

I. Just. Ok, if the baby animal in the cute video looks like a miniature adult and the background looks way too blurred but the cute animals are way too sharp, it's AI. Just. Arg. (My eyes. I felt I was staring straight at something that was just wrong).

This Washington Post report haunts me every day

"Efforts to diversify gender norms face profound technical challenges. For instance, when OpenAI tried to remove violent and sexual images from training data for DALL- E 2, the company found that the tool produced fewer images of women because a large portion of women in the data set came from pornography and images of graphic violence.

To fix the issue in DALL-E 3, OpenAI retained more sexual and violent imagery to make its tool less predisposed to generating images of men."
