Posey: YAWN! Well, if there’s no risk of this so-called “vampire” attacking me, I suppose I’ll go to bed early. It never hurts to get a jump on breakfast.

We see a door in a hall. Jane is standing outside the door, for some reason.

Posey comes out of the door in her extra-cleavagey French dress.

Jane: Posey? Why did you change into that extremely sexy and fashionable French dress? Trying to seduce someone?

Posey: Ah. No. That’s not it at all. Just sweating a bit because I’m so scared of the vampire, I figured I’d put something on with more airflow down the front. And go outside.

Posey is outside. She meets the Earl. Abbe Vendetta is also there.
Posey: All right, let’s do this. Who’s the old man?
Earl: That’s a ghost.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

It’s really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it’s clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it’s all “please don’t forget you have to feed your troops” and “if someone asks if you’re going to attack them consider lying about it”

My big conspiracy is that due to our overall systemic decline in both cultural literacy and actual literacy we have spawned a generation of people who don’t even know how to get horny anymore
