We were joined by the incredible @alisontheperson.bsky.social for today's episode to talk about writing Reality Fracture and what it meant to be asked to kill Jace Beleren. We talk craft, inspiration, and the behind-the-scenes scheduling that made all of this grand story arc work.

Honest to god a DCCC text saying "[Name], we are going to crush these motherfuckers in November. I know we've been sometimes desperate sounding in these texts before but right now I'm telling you if everyone kicks in $30 we can rip their still-beating heart out before their eyes" would work on me rn

Like if the models are sOoOoO dangerous and prone to going rogue all the time and superhuman hackers and potentially misaligned, why are you letting it do anything at all without direct supervision? Why can it access a single website or execute a single line of code without human review?

I am sympathetic to the “AI can’t go rogue, it follows its programming” POV and think it’s right in some ways but I think it’s ineffective. Instead let’s take seriously the labs’ claim that AI is the kind of thing that can go rogue and ask them why it’s not in the Hannibal Lecter superprison

Perfect example though of how corrupting tariffs are. Every town & business becomes dependent on little tariff carve outs, meaning that buying influence with Senators becomes mandatory to stay in business. The tariff is the mother of trusts!!!

American small business owners largely see themselves as lower-level rentiers in a quasi-feudal economy as opposed to service providers in a competitive market economy, and part of that means not having to actually be competent at providing services

if you want to modernize carrie white then she is not a pretty, misunderstood quiet girl. what she is is a "lolcow", a girl who does not fit in and is seen as a bit grotesque and is systematically provoked until she breaks, with a goal of milking her for content.

a thing about carrie, the novel, is that carrie *is* weird and judgmental and unpleasant to deal with. characters have to suppress their irritation with her, and this is important because it's easy to reach out to someone who conforms to social norms. it's harder to do that to a girl who doesn't.

The thing we need--that we know we need!--and that is EXTREMELY POPULAR, whenever it is built! is a model where people can walk to grocery stores, restaurants, parks, and schools where they live, and get to work without using their own individual car.

Here is my pitch for anyone who has worries about rail: I think that building out rail is a necessary (but not sufficient) step in transforming American cities from totally car dependent to slightly walkable, in a way that no other form of transit is.

It is completely true and a good point that a lot of police killings can be accurately described as public executions. And it is still true that the government announcing ahead of time this guy is already subdued but we're gonna livestream his killing, that is a new line being crossed and it matters

Also like it can be true that people ignored how bad things were before, and that doesn't mean that when things get worse it's just a revelation of what was always true. It can actually go from bad to meaningfully worse.

Sometimes "this isn't who I am" is something you say to convince yourself the bad thing you did doesn't count, and sometimes it's something you have to believe before you can change, and it's very hard to tell the difference

even the best companies can change when times are bad (or new management comes in, or whatever). unionize to maintain a good workplace—and ensure that all the perks are enshrined in a contract, as opposed to something bosses can take away at a moment’s notice
