at some point I want to break down every outfit worn by a civilian living in any colony in CE and figure out a theory of poofiness correlating with privilege in space...

fucking love a UI that obscures the actual results (but also proves the srw fandom, as it exists on reddit, is full of assholes)

Lin King, who translated Yang Shuang-zi's #TaiwanTravelogue from Mandarin to English, charges an European publisher for copyright infringement over commissioning a translator who cannot read Mandarin to create a third-language translation using King's English text, original footnotes, and afterword.
How is a translated work distinct from the original work? In literature, there is no such thing as an “objectively accurate” translation. Even this statement you are reading can be translated into millions of word permutations. Language is an imprecise human creation that evolves, imprecisely, over time. This is a concept that the public understands in the context of classical texts like The Odyssey, but less deference is paid to a translator’s creative authority in contemporary literature.

一部翻譯作品,如何與原著是不同的個體?翻譯文學中,並沒有所謂「客觀精準」的標準答案。就連您正在閱讀的這段文字,也能被翻譯成數百萬種用字組合。語言本身就是人類創造的不精準產物,且隨著時間不精準地演化。對於《奧德賽》這類古典作品的不同譯本,大眾似乎都能理解這個概念,但是面對當代文學,譯者的創作自主權卻鮮有對等的尊重。

Ugh. Alberta officials plan to override local planning and let the province rip out urban bike lanes. A loathsome idea, imported from Ontario.

With the province expected to take more authority over municipal bike lanes in the months ahead, one Calgary councillor wants the city to pause any new bike lane projects in the meantime.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

Just give up on Potter, please. Sometimes you actually have to give up on things if you're trying to accomplish something guys. The idea that you can fight battles and win wars without sacrifice is a myth concocted by post-9/11 fascists.

there are probably many good sports writers in the mythopoetic mode, but most sports are already self-mythologizing, and many have a ton of downtime in which writers can begin waxing poetic in their drafts file.

Most of them got better, though. Which is why, apart from MAYBE Red Skull and Xu Wenwu, the MCU villain with the highest actual "murder count" is *probably* Elon Musk ("as himself" in 'Iron Man 2') - if we assume DOGE *also* happened and caused all those deaths there, too 🤔
