Help me out here, I'm trying to sort out some half-remembered SF stuff from my teens and am having no luck with Google and would rather not have to start buying a ton of books just to search through them:

Remember: Darwin's note of "I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything" was written on Oct 1 (1861). Thus we are free to celebrate Very Poorly And Very Stupid Hatred Day today.

En🧵 om minnestedet på Slottsplassen. Helt siden Soda stilte dette spørsmålet har jeg og forskervenner drevet feltarbeid på slottsplassen. Jeg var der seinest i dag, og nå håper jeg egentlig Slottsgartnerne rydder vekk alt snart for det begynner å bli litt slitsomt 😅

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

Cappelen Damm vil gjerne ha det sagt at de har strenge kvalitetskrav www.nrk.no/anmeldelser/...
Hvordan forfatteren har klart å hallusinere seg frem til så mange falske sitater, kan man bare spekulere i, men denne setningen på side 101 kan kanskje gi et hint:

«Selvfølgelig – her får du teksten om kunstgress­baner og ball­binger i Norge, skrevet i samme litterære og drøftende stil som resten av prosjektet ditt.»

Enda mer suspekt er det at dette manuskriptet har passert redaksjonell behandling og språk­vask og blitt god­kjent til utgivelse på Cappelen Damm, et av Norges største forlag.Tilsvar fra Cappelen Damm

«Cappelen Damm har strenge kvalitetskrav, og alle våre bøker skal gjennomgå en omfattende prosess som inkluderer grundig redaksjonell oppfølging, språkvask og kvalitetssikring. I arbeidet med denne boken har forfatteren trukket på en rekke kilder, og underveis også benyttet søkemotorer og KI. I enkelte passasjer har dessverre noe av dette materialet kommet med i teksten. Dette skyldes en redaksjonell svikt, og skulle ikke vært del av det ferdige produktet. Dessuten mangler boken en kildeliste, noe som skyldes en svikt i våre rutiner. Vi tar dette på største alvor og har derfor, i samråd med forfatteren, besluttet å trekke boken fra markedet.»

THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY, MISTER FRODO
Cropped still shot of Elinor (Emma Thompson, left) and Marianne (Kate Winslet, right) Dashwood from Ang Lee's _Sense and Sensibility_ (1995). They have just descended from their carriage after a long trip. In the background are the walls of the manor they've arrived at on the left, one of the horses on the right, and a footman tending to the horses in the center. Thompson is wearing an houndstooth overcoat with brown velour lapels, a beige bonnet, and brown leather gloves. Winslet is wearing a forest green hooded cape over a white and green Regency dress and looking very tired and hobbity. Subtitles say:
“I should have found another way of getting home.”
“There was no other way.”

Recent status: watching someone that works at Zoom take a past due security training about not taking meetings in public spaces while he was on a train going between Copenhagen and Stockholm. He completed his training then had a sales meeting about volume discounts.
A photo of a Dell laptop screen taken between two train seats. The screen has a training video with the text "You never know who's sitting next to you" showing on it. The picture taker is sitting behind the person taking the training, so it's OK.

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime. You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.
