Ok, so there *is* a second one, but in it the baker and the prince are already married, but there are still hijinks!
It is called "The Princess Switch 2: Switched Again," and you will *never* guess what happens...
Did you guess that they switch again? Aren't you a clever clogs.

Confrontation!
Everyone says they love each other, and now everyone is getting married in a year! (Actually, I never thought about it, but there must be a sequel where that happens, right? Gotta line that up next, I guess...)

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

This piece put into words something I've been talking to people about since at least 2016
Cat @catvalente.bsky.social is always a thoughtful, intelligent, and above all *passionate* writer, but even having said that, this is an amazing piece about cycles of abuse and national politics. Please read it!

Aw yeah, folks, it is cheesy Christmas Prince movie season!
We're starting our watch with "The Princess Switch" which, despite not having "Christmas" or "Prince" in the title, meets my criteria for this holiday tradition:
1. A normal lady
2. meets & falls in love with a prince
3. at Christmas time

Looks like we're doing a RETVRN to when it was women who were the sex maniacs who couldn't be expected not to think with their genitals.
At the newsletter: FROM BEYOND is a very fun movie which argues that, if women learn how to orgasm, they will become unhinged sexual predators and destroy the very fabric of space-time: jude-doyle.ghost.io/under-the-in...

I think the key word here is "and": So-called "AI" systems don't do what is advertised AND involve labor exploitation AND perpetuate biases AND are environmentally ruinous.
I don't think we should drop the environmental angle.

I think this highlights two things for folks who hate AI and want to stop massive data center expansion
First: when we're talking about AI, it's a mistake to lead with the environmental impact.
It's a bad frame, bc it implies that if the numbers were different, it would be ok. But it wouldn't.

new from me: are data centers going to wipe out water supplies? how much water does ChatGPT really use? and what's going on with that big correction in Empire of AI?
i went long on the conversation around AI and water, and how it's actually about what we want resources to be used for:

To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:
Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.
They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.
Small world.

Every elected Republican was a united front opposing and criticizing everything Obama did for 8 straight years, even if it was a policy they fundamentally agreed with. Why. In the fuck. Is it asking too much for Democrats to do the same with a legitimate fascist?
Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

due to its... simplicity, the OU essay does do a good job at showing the fundamental contradiction at the heart of conservative gender ideology: 1950's gender roles are simultaneously given by God innately to every single person to follow naturally, but also need to be forced on people
