even if you ignore the rowling of it all (you shouldn't), it doesn't have the true awful stink of the other new harry potter projects, so it's not even Hatewatchable you won't see a zombie horse pick the wizard president. you won't play through putting down a goblin slave revolt

also it does seem strange to drop them all at once like this instead of just as soon as they're ready? (I mean it's not *that* strange because I know doing it like this is serving some PR/marketing function)

good cosmic monkey paw joke. we can have all the theorems and counterexamples we want, if we can just accept rapidly increasing piles of technical debt

very briefly skimmed through a few of these titles & abstracts. some big deal claims I noticed: - unique games conjecture is true - Hadwiger conjecture is false (generalized four-color theorem)

you can tell Kerry's a cop from Gotham because she does something grossly corrupt or cruel every single episode

re: that particular comparison, I'm willing to say they're actually pretty close tbh in general, there's nothing wrong with liking junk food fiction but you should at least recognize when you're consuming the literary equivalent of refined sugar and fat

worst part of having philosopher brain: mere seconds after asserting anything you can think of several reasons why it can't be right after all

(confused) I believe LLMs are conscious, but only Deepseek LLMs, because of the Chinese Room theory

if you're looking for new flavors of depression, I highly recommend a pulitzer-prize-winning novelist telling you there's nothing valuable in your work

speaking of princeton writing professors dismissing genre: once jeffrey eugenides refused to give me any comments at all on a story I wrote because it was fantasy. it was so fucking mean he was nice and helpful for my other stories but then I committed the grave sin of Writing Genre

harry/malfoy ship is so much better as a dynamic that it works no matter how you change their genders and frankly, the only good star wars ship there has ever been is R2 and C-3PO

yeah Batman would hate it if you bulldozed Crime Alley. where would Joker threaten to kill his newest Robins if you got rid of that

probably would stop Ra's al Ghul though? YIMBYism could totally eliminate Gotham's "my immortal father-in-law wants to raze my city to the ground to prove a point" problem

this has happened already but also no social program is fixing "the Joker wants to poison the water supply" or "ancient bat god has a ridiculously circuitous scheme" or "luchador prison escapee wants to aura farm over Batman's broken body"

The Toy Story toys crave to be played with even though it requires them to feign inanimacy. What they truly crave is death
