I don’t want the actions of CFNL—spying, doxxing, etc—to overshadow the fact that pro-library activists successfully fended off 7 of 9 anti-library bills in 2024; legislature didn’t even introduce any anti-library bills this last session.

Their email campaign sent 42,000+ emails to lawmakers!

anyone who's had to painstakingly give extremely precise instructions to an LLM to obtain the desired result will wince and chuckle at the scene where Arthur insists that the Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser serve him tea
It's Eddie with smarm instead of charm. But yes, very Sirius, I think the vending machines are more like our LLMs.

I finally realized this week what ChatGPT's responses remind me of and it's Eddie the Shipboard Computer from HHGTTG.

It really does seem like the sort of thing Sirius Cybernetics Corporation would dream up.

Working on something longer about it but want to say that Lessons in Magic and Disaster by Charlie Jane Anders is the best novel I've read this year.

It's cleaner, it's less painful, to believe in a solo ogre that ruins live & hurts people. Not how it works, usually. And the enablers & encouragers of longtime ogres often believe they're good people, they're not doing the worst stuff, they're not doing anything BAD bad. Those people are everywhere

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

What if "Much Ado About Nothing," but in an apocalyptic desert of mechanical horses, hardscrabble ranches, and generational water wars? That's my story "Bitter Waters; Or, The Villain's Appointment," and there's 12 other great stories in this antho besides! (KS backers will receive rewards soon!)

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Saying “we have to keep the status quo because the alternative is bad” ends up making people feel like you’re either gaslighting or out of touch, because the status quo actually sucks for a lot of people.

we all have to get better at spotting ai, and unfortunately i have to do this professionally, so here's some tells:

I love this year's Deadlands coin design, it's so beautiful.

(Pretty heckin great magazine too.)
what can we say that hasn't already been said about our Coin for this year, hmm...

well it's inedible, for starters

it IS NOT made in Alaska

it remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless it is acted upon by a force.
