"yeah, I'm a bit of a Sondheim bore" -- something I said while GMing a horror rpg session (actually relevantly, surprisingly)

a clinical trial is something you conduct to see if a drug is safe, not something you conduct to "build evidence" that a drug should be banned.

okay, i thought "accidentally reprogramming grok to parrot boer revisionism in answer to random questions" was the funniest grok thing, but then it turned out "accidentally reprogramming grok to call itself mechahitler" was the actual funniest grok thing...

I see a recurring theme in commentary on the whole [waves hands] situation in the US: that it exposes a fundamental flaw in the US constitution. it's not true or fair.

the thing that infuriated me the most about tg jones is how obviously contrived it is

change the name, sure, call it StationerX or Pens'n'Sweets, whatever, names change. I survived opal fruits, i'll survive this
The fact that there has not been proper outcry at the transformation of WH Smiths into TG Jones tells me everything I need to know about where this country is at now. I am old enough to remember the Choco Krispies protests of 1998.

honestly it doesn't even feel like being a Cassandra anymore: we have AI toys telling children where to get petrol and lighters, growing processing demand measurably impacting water supplies and electricity drain, studies showing that companies that use AI show no net gain in productivity...

Folks it pains me to ask so bluntly, but could anyone use some work doing by me? I've got to find income for three months until my next royalty payment, and I'm not having much luck.

Amazon struggling with Bond continuity is baffling. How clean do they think James Bond continuity is?

In Casino Royale, despite clearly being set in the modern day (decades after the first Bond film), we're told that Bond has only just earned his 00 rank and this is his first assignment.

Once our civilisation finally chokes its last and the intelligent otters (or whatever take over from us) study our culture to understand what happened, "toxins" will turn out to be one of the mebbe top 5, 10 most destructive words we coined.
Under-the-weather TikTokers are slicing raw potatoes and placing them in their — and their children’s — socks before bed. The theory is that the potato draws out toxins.

However, experts warn against relying on folk remedies over medical care.
No, putting a potato in your sock will not cure a cold
TikTokers are placing slices of raw potatoes in their — and their children’s socks — overnight to cure illnesses.

I think this is now the most beautiful book I own. Yes, it’s Adrian’s text (as good as ever) and Anderida did amazing work here, from typography to binding, etc. but my lord, Ian McQue’s art goes f-ing hard.

If Tim Powers is your jam, I think you'd like When the Winds Sing by @ldcolter.com. This is a beautiful use of Slavic gods and folklore, with characters who leap off the page fully formed.

it's funny, but trump's followers are never going to check his sources, this headline is now a canon fact for tens of millions of americans that won't die for decades
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”
