This saga is incredible because the student didn't actually cite the Bible, didn't respond any of hte questions, and admitted she hadn't read the article before writing about it
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

I’m a trained social worker. I worked with cases of CSA and other horrifying traumas. I didn’t learn til 6 months before I burnt out how dangerous and cumulative vicarious and secondary trauma are.

And as several folks are saying in the comments: curiosity about the Epstein files is understandable, but just for yourself personally, think carefully about what you want in your head forever.
It will come to you later in upsetting ways that you may not expect.

I promise you- people think they want to know the lurid details- they don't. I spent 30 years reading accounts of CA/SA and that shit never leaves your head.
I'm interested in knowing who was on public payroll and didn't do their jobs. And I'm happy to wait for the truth so it sticks.

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse?
You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

2025 was like the “Battlestar Galactica” episode where the Cylons attacked every 33 mins.It required adjusting our way of thinking, of fighting, our imagination & our willingness to take risks. It required asking people who had done a specific job a specific way for a long time to do it differently.

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Pound/dollar for pound/dollar, the good people can do in buying and wiping out debt (especially medical debt!) is astonishing, and it baffles me that more people with very medium amounts of wealth don’t do it when it would mean so much to people who are drowning
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

our emotional & practical survival over the next year is going to depend on us developing the emotional depth to say "hahaha fuck yeah, shit has gotten so bad that even [terrible person] is trying to save themselves" without being like "so they're not terrible anymore, maybe?"

One thing I haven't seen addressed is that all LLM companies are currently charging very low teaser/loss leader prices. These WILL go up in the near future once the VC subsidy cash is burnt off. Probably by a lot.
I doubt the cash savings will last very long.

Same. Frankly, I can’t imagine any situation where using an LLM to generate text would not make writing the book take ten times as long.
In case it doesn't go without saying: I have not used gen AI to create text in any of my books. I have not used Grammarly etc to "clean up" the text. I have not used it to research any of my books, except where it might be built into search engines under the hood (I do not use labelled AI results).
