'But income inequality within countries is rising, as measured by the Gini index, a measure of income distribution across a population. Globally, in the 15 years to 2019, economic output in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) roughly doubled, but the share of economic output earned by the workers producing the goods and services behind the increase fell from 54.1% in 2004 to 52.6% in 2019.'

'Consistently, these bans target materials written by and about people of color or LGBTQ+ individuals, and even though a 2022 poll found that 70% of parents oppose them, they are continuing at a rapid rate.

Now the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is trying to fight back. It recently launched the Banned Book Program, granting free nationwide access to books restricted in schools or libraries.'

"Even more concerning is the idea that content produced by generative AI is polluting the data sets on which future systems will be trained, threatening what some have called “model collapse”. By adding more imperfect information and deliberate disinformation to our knowledge base, generative AI systems are producing a further “enshittification” of the internet, to use Cory Doctorow’s evocative term. This means training sets will spew out more nonsense, rather than less."

This is great: you type your zip code into the app, and you're shown a complete list of books prohibited in your area; then download the e-reader, and these books are available to download.

I wonder if the book-banners will end up making these books more widely read than they ever were in libraries?

In the end the best results were obtained using an ALFA tag labeled with primary and secondary antibodies, or a triple ALFA tag with an anti-ALFA PAINT nanobody. In both cases, we could visualize the actin mesh, rails and corrals in tagged presynapses! 20/23
