Once again, I gotta say: you cannot treat anything you’re feeding into an AI as anonymous. There are enormous ethics implications for, e.g. referees who are clearly uploading others’ unpublished papers without consent, let alone health care professionals or law enforcement

I'm reading Song of Achilles for the first time, and Madeline Miller's prose is gorgeous.

Star Trek Online

Captains - there are two bugs in the new mission that we're working on fixing. One is locking progression at a certain point - details in comments to avoid spoilers. The other is Moopsy. Moopsy can eat a boss and break the mission. Do not bring Moopsy.Moopsy from Star Trek: Lower Decks. It's a cute small animal and it's clamped onto someone's neck while it is drinking their bones.

this is probably the worst language i've seen a democrat use. saying "transgender ideology" is straight out of the right wing playbook. this is looking more and more like Labour, so I don't want to hear any more shit about how even the transphobic democrats broadly support our rights.

IN STORES TODAY! Blades '68 shines a bright, electroplasmic light on the grimy streets of Doskvol and spins the timeline forward 100 years. Enter a technicolor world of bold action, shadow conspiracies, and supernatural twists. Pick it up at your FLGS or directly from us: evilhat.com/product/blad...
In the background, a roadmap of Doskvol 968. The city is rendered in pastel pink, blue, and gray. Atop the map is a copy of Blades '68.  Colorful characters inspired by the 1960s are illustrated in bright shades of blue, orange, and yellow.

FWIW I don’t think that AI is an existential threat, nor on track to become one. I do however think that the leaders of the biggest AI companies, AI’s strongest boosters, and some of the folks who are most adept at using it to exploit others are actively hastening along OTHER existential threats.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Working on a piece for the newsletter, this is a data point - smart people keep shrugging and saying “communities don’t like data centers because of ‘vibes’” etc when it’s really that people are in fact smart enough to know they are bad faith neighbors. It is *entirely rational* not to trust them.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Between this, and the children’s hospital that she funded in Knoxville, that I believe was recently named after her, although she hesitated on that for a long time because she didn’t want the recognition, she has saved countless lives.

Dolly is gone, but I'll always appreciate her funding and publicly receiving the Moderna vaccine, in addition to her advocacy to wipe out childhood illiteracy.
Picture of Dolly Parton with a mask on with the headline from The New York Times "Dolly parton, who helped fund the moderna vaccine, gets a dose of her own medicine." The country music star broke into song before she was inoculated, and urged her fans to "get out there and get your shot"

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Dolly Parton preached kindness and acceptance. She worked hard to make people's lives better. She used her fame and status to help others. Now look at how her life is being celebrated. Look at the boundless love. This is the way. More people should figure that out.
