Pynchon writes Rijeka (deadnaming it Fiume) as the crossroads of a collapsing culture…a port through which to flee if you have managed to conceal enough gold to pay the passage. Many found themselves chained at the water’s edge. Is it still a place to dance and drink yourself into oblivion?

This would be an unambiguous war crime even in a proper war against a real enemy’s navy.

How can documentalists/document studies form a coherent response to this destruction of scientific credibility?
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Three weeks ago I marked nine years on Testosterone.
I didn't celebrate it then because I was in the middle of a multi-month battle to be allowed to stay on it, despite not producing my own hormones and simply wanting to remain on the exact prescription I'd had for nine years without any problems.

one thing that's interesting is that "it's not X--it's Y" construction does not occur with high probability in any corpus LLMs are trained on, and yet every LLM produces it with high probability

my most butlerian jihad coded belief is that we should probably make it illegal – and more importantly, we should work toward a cultural consensus that it is immoral – to design a computer program whose interface uses the first person

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.
