I'm not the first to note this but AI psychosis just seems to be "experience what it's like to have yes men" and shows what has happened to any billionaire who has any kind of public profile

I gather the SF&F subgenre formerly referred to as'blokes in cloaks' is now to be known as 'mantasy', and may be considered the counterpart to 'guy fi'. You may now go on with your day.

Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking? Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me. 1/

A special Qur’an holds the signature of almost every Minnesota Muslim elected to office. At a historic swearing-in ceremony, three Minneapolis City Council members added their names to the list.
A local Minneapolis imam started the Qur’an tradition less than 10 years ago, when Muslim political representation was scarce. Now, three Minneapolis City Council members—Jeremiah Ellison, Jamal Osman...
