For some reason, Scooby-Doo is a non-trivial portion of stories generated by LLMs prompted with simple stuff like "tell me a story." Lighthouses and people named Elias too, but Scooby-Doo is so unexpected it really stood out.

Every time someone brings up the EA/HPMOR connection is a "there but for the grace of god go I" moment for me. (More accurately "there but for the grace of being too broke and too far away from the epicenter of this plague" but swings and roundabouts)

It genuinely blows my mind the degree to which people in power do not grasp (or just refuse to acknowledge) that encampments are preferable to shelters for a whole lot of people, for a long list of reasons.

Yeah, it's definitely a whole thing. Even now! Commensal eating and vegetarianism are still a big deal in many parts of India, especially in relation to caste/religion/gender (not defending or endorsing, just describing.)

I know juuuuuust about enough about both chess and programming to fall for both the opening traps in this story. Very mad about it, but really enjoyed being mad about it.
