Today in stitching: From Joyce's Ulysses I was prompted to learn that tabby cats got their name from the striped silk taffeta used in waistcoat linings and dresses. It was named after the ʿAttābiy quarter of Baghdad where it was made.

1. It results in benchmarks being given greater epistemic weight than they should be. 2. It leads to a false narrative of inevitable technological progress (first through scale, more recently through RSI). 3. It justifies people unethically imposing the technology on others without consent.

Because when I say them, I do not have the baggage of instrumentalist functionalism attached. My position has never been that LLMs are useless or that they are not remarkable engineering accomplishments. My issues with the epistemic distortion of instrumentalist function can be summed up as:

Text: There's a cocaine scene in Modern Times Subtext: Wait is that a Tabasco bottle?

Charlie Chaplain goes hyper after liberally sprinkling cocaine on all his food and eating some. A prisoner to his left, Big Bill (Tiny Sandford), has a thousand-yard stare. There is a bottle of what is clearly Tabasco in front of Bill's left hand.

I will die on the hill that a writer should care about worldbuilding and not just throw around terns like "three moonrises" unless it means something

PDX MAX story: 20ish white dude watching vids with loud speaker. I say, "hey, could you use headphones?" He looks at me like I'm from Mars. Says nothing. I repeat, "please use headphones, no one wants to hear your tiktoks" His reply is "why are you choosing violence?"

Last night's Lanterns was an interesting take on time travel trope: what if you could talk with your parent when they were close to your current age?

This is the best take I've read.

Obsessing over that fact that the planet Holzherr in Supergirl has a 24hr cycle between moonrises which means its actual day is longer (if that moon revolves counter to the planet's rotation) or shorter (otherwise) and am doubting the filmmakers cared at all because they're careless, really.

I love recession art with themes like “don’t buy food, make your fridge into a mid museum”

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

That was an ok one, kinda melodramatic in the characterization, but good bones underneath. So to speak. See y'all next week, noiristas. #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Having Chuck be a pansexual abuser—Lorraine, Herbie, whoever—is a missed opportunity #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley #TCMParty

OK, so his character arc could be an inverted N, where he realizes Leo's gonna die and figures out how to profit. #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley #TCMParty

I’m a huge Douglas fan, and I too love how he leans into unlikable characters. My issue with #AceInTheHole lies in the script, which I don’t think allows the opportunities for exploration & development at which Douglas excels (as opposed to, say, Detective Story that same year). #NoirAlley #TCMParty

From the Indigenous perspective, I think this would be to them as drilling through the roof of the Sistene Chapel to rescue a guy who was looting the place and got stuck under a pew would be to a Roman Catholic. #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Man, Chuck doesn't try to seduce Lorraine into staying, he browbeats her. This makes his character an unrealistic sociopath to me. He doesn't know her well enough to abuse her like that and be sure it'll work because of his perceived power over her. #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Kinda on Lorraine's side here in her beef against Leo #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley #TCMParty
