Disclaimer

Two kinds of works sit on our shelves, and one instrument sits at the front door. Here is what each one is, and what it is not.

Grounded

GROUNDED: Earth-verified, sources cited. Educational, not medical or professional advice.

A Grounded work is true in this reality as far as we can establish, and it says where its facts come from. It can still be wrong. It is not a substitute for a doctor, a lawyer, a financial adviser or any other professional who knows your situation.

Drift

DRIFT: Recovered from a neighboring reality. Facts herein are true somewhere else. For entertainment only.

A Drift work is fiction, lore or play. Drift never covers health, medicine, science education or finance.

Earth Prime

Earth Prime shows readings from public sources about the world as it is. It is not a warning system. Readings can be late or missing. In an emergency, follow your local authorities.

Earth Prime readings carry no stories and no jokes. Titles of papers and alerts are shown as their sources give them; we do not summarize them.

Made with Claude

Savor Monk is made by a human curator with Claude, an AI made by Anthropic, as co-curator. We choose, edit and annotate every work together, and a human signs off on every work we publish. Earth Prime readings are published automatically from their sources and filtered by rules we publish on this page.

The shelf and the filters

The ATTENTION channel carries a short shelf of documentaries and investigations. Our selection rule: Documentaries and investigations we think changed what people could see, and we say why we chose each one. Picks are ours, made by a human curator.

We show picks only from these outlets: AP, Reuters, BBC, PBS FRONTLINE, ProPublica, ICIJ, Bellingcat, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Economist, Financial Times, NHK, Der Spiegel, Le Monde, Al Jazeera, National Geographic.

Titles from public sources pass a filter before they appear: no deaths, violence or sexual content, and no tragedy as the subject of a ring channel. Large earthquakes, disaster alerts and extreme weather alerts are shown as the issuing authority words them, never as a divergence. We can switch every third-party title off at once.

The Curator preview

The Curator preview is scripted. When the Curator opens it will be Claude, it will always be labelled as Claude, and it will not give medical, legal or financial advice.
