In memory of free education. Fees were re-introduced in my Honours year; my department felt strongly enough against this to cover those fees for Honours students.

How did Australian universities go from free education to $50,000 arts degrees in 50 years?
Thanks to the Job Ready Graduates scheme, an arts degree today will cost over $50,000. How have five decades of government policy taken us from free education to this?

'no single lifestyle or form of civilization is a prerequisite to living with dignity and intelligence.'

This review captures much of my ambition in writing steppe peoples -- since 2003. People of the past, and of the steppe, as intelligent as you or I? As engaged in ideas? My axiom 1.

Thanks EM

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Watching some videos on old paleoart and a familiar name showed up: John Sibbick.

I didn't realise that the guy I knew best from illustrating the cover of Rogue Trader was also a massively influential artist of prehistoric animals. That is a fact that makes me smile.

Some of this is already known if you look, but I dont know how public. So lets talk

This is where we get a new Sword & Sorcery book publisher up and running.
Me, I want the first stretch goal for sprayed edges yeah, but far more, I want that extra novelette-in-a-zine by an undisclosed (but new and exciting) writer.
Help Brackenbury Books make more books by more authors & artists.

I backed these novellas for 2 reasons

Unselfish reason: These are great writers supported by great art and a great publisher, I can't wait to read their new stories, and I want them to thrive!

Selfish reason: I want Brackenbury Books to be around to one day publish me!

Back this book bonanza now!

Barely a mention in Canadian media as far as I've seen which is really frightening. The ex-leader of the conservative party put a target on a journalists back and now she's getting death threats.

For correctly pointing out that she was worried the right were going to weaponize political violence

Surreal to see this in CNN. What a wild week.

I feel so awful for everyone on this site.

I’ve dealt with this on a smaller scale before, which means I take a lot of safety precautions in my daily life.

But most of those listed are private citizens just thrown to the wolves.

I’m so worried.
CNN Business piece reads: “For example, Canadian independent journalist Rachel Gilmore posted that she is "terrified" about retaliation from Kirk's "far-right fans" after the shooting. That post is the first listed on the anonymous website, including a part where Gilmore said she hoped Kirk survives. She said in a video online that she did not celebrate Kirk's death and said she hoped he survives in another post. She also said she received a "tsunami" of threats and called the last 48 hours of her life "a living hell."”

Embrace Frank Frazetta Thought
Frank Frazetta sitting outside in an orange armchair, shirtless and shoeless, shredded as fuck, holding a paint palette and displaying a sick ass painting of a barbarian, goblin, and a scantily clad woman. His wife, Eleanor, rides a Honda ATC90, the most sickass form of transportation invented, in the background. She is wearing a bikini, brandishing a spear, and has a stiletto dagger at her hip. She's hot as hell.

Crypto. NFTs. The metaverse. We told them *every time.* And still, they did not believe us.

Techbros pretended to throw a ball, and they run off like a loyal dog believing their master would never betray their trust.

It's seeming likelier and likelier that AI really could eliminate a lot of jobs very soon. Just not in the way boosters have suggested. www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...
Just How Bad Would an AI Bubble Be? The entire U.S. economy is being propped up by the promise of productivity gains that seem very far from materializing. By Rogé Karma The capability-reliability gap might explain why generative AI has so far failed to deliver tangible results for businesses that use it. When researchers at MIT recently tracked the results of 300 publicly disclosed AI initiatives, they found that 95 percent of projects failed to deliver any boost to profits. A March report from McKinsey & Company found that 71 percent of companies reported using generative AI, and more than 80 percent of them reported that the technology had no “tangible impact” on earnings. In light of these trends, Gartner, a tech-consulting firm, recently declared that AI has entered the “trough of disillusionment” phase of technological development. By one estimate, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Tesla will by the end of this year have collectively spent $560 billion on AI-related capital expenditures since the beginning of 2024 and have brought in just $35 billion in AI-related revenue. OpenAI and Anthropic are bringing in lots of revenue and are growing fast, but they are still nowhere near profitable. Their valuations—roughly $300 billion and $183 billion, respectively, and rising—are many multiples higher than their current revenues. (OpenAI projects about $13 billion in revenues this year; Anthropic, $2 billion to $4 billion.) Investors are betting heavily on the prospect that all of this spending will soon generate record-breaking profits. If that belief collapses, however, investors might start to sell en masse, causing the market to experience a large and painful correction. The dot-com crash was bad, but it did not trigger a crisis. An AI-bubble crash could be different. AI-related investments have already surpassed the level that telecom hit at the peak of the dot-com boom as a share of the economy. In the first half of this year, business spending on AI added more to GDP growth than all consumer spending combined. Many experts believe that a major reason the U.S. economy has been able to weather tariffs and mass deportations without a recession is because all of this AI spending is acting, in the words of one economist, as a “massive private sector stimulus program.” An AI crash could lead broadly to less spending, fewer jobs, and slower growth, potentially dragging the economy into a recession. The economist Noah Smith argues that it could even lead to a financial crisis if the unregulated “private credit” loans funding much of the industry’s expansion all go bust at once.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
