I figured it had to be a misplaced post. (FWIW, Greene deserves your contempt.)

I really really hope this is honest confusion on your part.

They're mostly "bad boy / nerdy girl" fanfic which is... not the dynamic I read fanfic for. And they're *advertised* as fanfic rewrites. People have commented on how telling it is that with all the things fanfic was written about, that already mainstream dynamic is what publishers think we want.

They say they want new things in fantasy, then authors from marginalized groups do new things, but they don't like that, they want the new thing to be like the old thing except new.

What they really want is a book to rewind time and make them young again, something no book or anything else can do.

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

*of course now that I've said that I'm waiting to have someone jump in and tell me that in fact I WAS that person once and cut them off from their famous friend and didn't realize it, because I have had my "completely oblivious to obvious social cues" moments...

I don't get it. Not in the sense where I don't believe it; I've SEEN it happen. In the sense I don't understand the thinking. From my perspective, I'm often terrified to join any discussion with a famous or even semi famous person because they're ALL more famous and important than me.

1. A new journal report in the prestigious Medical Journal of Australia eviscerates the Cass review, saying it is filled with fallacies and launders anti-trans disinformation.

It methodically goes through each problem in the review.

The latest from S. Baum.

Mmm, on this subject,maybe not so much as all that. It's true we don't have life skills classes for the general population, but I suspect the prediction about it (students pooh-poohing it and not saying attention only to complain later "we weren't taught this!") would hold true.

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

This is a professor at Rutgers who teaches a class on the history of anti-fascism. He also teaches about human rights. He has received multiple death threats and been doxed. He is relocating to Europe for his safety. This is where we are in the US now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Reading through the negotiations from November 2023 onward, all I can say is this is a massive distortion of the actual back and forth, where Hamas asks for a permanent ceasefire as part of negotiations and rejecting this stalls negotiation, and Israel shoots or bombs Gaza, which stalls negotiation.

Notre Dame and Lagamodiere would either one be a good sign.
