Topics I am ACTUALLY interested in: space mining, preternatural creatures, crystals, heat, concrete.

Preparing for the 4S meeting and I am a bit shocked at how AI has completely taken over as dominant panel topic. There are other topics... space mining, for example.

if you are reviewing an unpublished manuscript and you have the sheer unmitigated audacity, cheek, gall and laziness to upload it into an LLM to generate a review, let me tell you, you should be shunned and tarred and feathered

Just wrote this to an author so I’m coming here to share with you: One of the best ways to bring more readers into a book is to provide MORE context and information. I think there’s an assumption that you have to subtract—less jargon, fewer citations. Maybe, but readers need MORE of other things.

This is so much bullshit. I remember the right screaming that 9/11 was the fault of the gays and the feminists. It was a bloodthirsty post 9/11 culture.

With an annual operating budget of $41.2 million, the University of Minnesota libraries should be open to the public. Overall its very sad to see such a beautiful campus right in the middle of Minneapolis close itself off to the public which it serves.
