Quite apart from sheer entertainment value, I recommend @GrimmReality's rants because they tend to bring the last few un-banned scumbags slithering out from under their virtual rocks, so that you can gleefully block them.

The #Indiana State #Library has a book scanner. It is one of these:
thecrowleycompany.com/digitiza…
I was able to scan a 156 page magazine in about 20m. Not entirely successfully tho. I need to play with settings more. I would prefer it did NOT try to auto-select and crop, rather give me raw full scans. I think it can do this, but need to read more. It has 3 save formats: JPG, TIF, PDF
The JPG output worked, but it crops. Maybe TIF does not? The PDF output crashed.
Spotify’s audiobook arm wants to hear from independent authors.
The company has opened submissions for short-form content “written specifically for audio.” If Spotify chooses to move forward with a submission, it will make an offer and then publish the audiobook. Spotify will also pay an advance and royalties (but doesn’t note any specifics).

It's noteworthy that all the most reported & reposted stories about ICE overreach involve young white women from Western nations.
What's happening to them is unacceptable, but they are the media-friendly tip of a much larger & uglier iceberg of rights violations. For every "deserving victim” there are hundreds or thousands of less mediagenic people whose basic rights are trampled in the same way, or worse. (And have been for years).
But we don't talk as much about them.

climatejustice.social/@breadan… breadandcircuses@climatejustice.social - This is it! Hurrah!! Today is the big day!!!
If you're a United Statesian like me, today is the day — March 13, 2025 — when we have reached our country's maximum annual allotment of ecological consumption. If everyone on Earth lived like we do in the USA, there would now be nothing left to consume for the rest of the year. It would be all used up.
So, as of tomorrow, everyone here will stop driving, stop flying, stop shopping online, and...
Wait, what? That's not how it works? We're not going to stop??
Oh shit.
