A second records check yielded positive results. Also, we have always been at war with Eastasia.

To me this looks like solipsism. I don't want anybody else's ideas or vision; I only want to be immersed in my own.

I do think this should put some of the hand-wringing over the uniquely sinful American electorate, uniquely feckless institutions, etc in perspective. The truth is that there is a large trans-national constituency of people who actively want this. They aren’t deceived. They want this.

Tragedy upon tragedy. "Everything is broken." I cannot help but agree.

I remain impressed with how much of the conversation around AI glosses over how often it gets things wrong in a “of course everyone knows this” way. It is the central and unfixable structural flaw of LLMs.

I am staunchly anti-capital punishment. My reasons can't be elaborated in a short post, but some of them can be illustrated by the gross and tragic history of Christa Pike and the state of TN. Is this what justice looks like?

The permission I needed to keep acquiring more books than I will probably ever be able to read. Okay. I was doing it anyway, with or without permission, but now i can say "Eco told me to do it." www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8TddUX3/

Yesterday, the restaurant women's room was occupied, so I used the unoccupied men's room. Then I thought, are there some states in which I would have just broken a ridiculous law?

"It is unclear why the CDC and other federal agencies across two administrations have failed to publicly respond to the increase in deaths despite having access to the same information ProPublica analyzed." And yet, I find myself unsurprised.

Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans.

With prompt and appropriate medical care, experts say, people shouldn’t die from an ectopic pregnancy. Women in Texas and Oklahoma have sued over delays in care, which, coupled with our new analysis, ...

Actually, reading back, I suppose you said that. The members of my writing group will confirm that I often need to be clubbed over the head, to get something.

This is unacceptable. Not only was Mari handed a bunch of ableist bullshit by WorldCon, this is how they responded to an official complaint. “Noted.”

You're not wrong. But I think discomfort is largely equated with bad when it's white people being discomfited. I would imagine kids of color have been pretty uncomfortable for generations by the whitewashed historical narrative.

Yeah, the Lucky theme kind of made me "rediscover" her. I had loved her years before, and it turns out, I still do.

400 library workers begin their strike Monday after endless months of trying to negotiate with management. Already the anti-union propaganda machine is calling the library workers entitled. The LIBRARY workers. You don't staff the desk at the free stuff store because you're greedy.

There's something I don't get. How come nobody ever asks these screamers who are so concerned about men (by which they man trans women) competing in women's sports, "Do you know how hormones work?"

I think part of the pundit crack-up has been that they missed the big call of their lifetimes about which was the bigger threat to America: wokeness or authoritarianism. And rather than admitting that, they are doubling down on wokeness, while ignoring an authoritarianism that does not threaten them
