I have read many romance novels, because they were good novels, a quality largely orthogonal to the somewhat arbitrary conventions of genre.

many books are terrible and formulaic and could be replicated by AI, but there is no genre that is *inherently* terrible and formulaic and could be replicated by AI. there is terrible and formulaic 'literary' fiction.

Fundamentally Jews being safe in NYC has *nothing inherently to do* with Palestine. Israel's genocide of Palestinians is a contributing factor to the rise in antisemitism, but that could end and there would still be antisemitic violence and harassment. Gotta disentangle them.

And yeah, sometimes Jewish communal establishment organizations say "oh well if you really cared you'd stop criticizing Israel," they are wrong and you can tell them to fuck off. Doesn't lift the responsibility to actually protect Jews. People deserve safety even if their leaders are racist morons.

He is not burning cash. He is investing money to shape political discourse and public opinion in line with his ideology and interests. And it's a successful strategy. Also, for a billionaire losing 10 million is like losing 1000 pounds for a middle class person.

We rightly give Home Office ministers a hard time here for many things, but in their defence, not one of them has ever ordered the Identity & Passport Service to mail out passports in envelopes that might as well be printed with the words ‘Important identity document enclosed: please steal’.

There's a way yesterday's failed attempt to frame up Jack Smith for perjury could've been covered as part of the same story — the deadly serious abuse of the DOJ by Republicans to ruin the lives of who they perceive as political opponents — but instead it was like "EMBARRASSING WHOOPSIE"

leave aside the GOP, it also did not stop the political news media from covering the Hunter story as if it were a corrupt scandal rather than Biden bending over backwards to let a Republican fuck his son over.

Truth about all 6 Music contemporary band names. 1. All bands to have banal uninflected 2 word names - Wedding Guest; Nit Nurse. 2. If a band is called something like Ladywoman it’s all male; if it’s called Penis, all female; if it has no vowels or phonetic spelling, queer.

It is ironic that AI took off at the same time as Trump just because there's no shortage of screenshots like this floating around: USER: Can stupid thing happen? AI: No. Stupid thing cannot happen. That would be stupid. USER: Are you sure? Because it just happened. AI: Fuck.
