Well hello again sweet sock puppets. Btw, is that where the phrase "put a sock in it" comes from?

Id steal something amazing that is privately owned and donate it to a public museum. That would tickle me far more than just having some expensive art in my house.

My pre-ordered Wickhills by @premeemohamed.com has arrived. Definitely printing press problems in UK, but got it at last. Driving in.

This is the sort of credulity that we as humans cannot afford in our press. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE SO FAR HAS BEEN “ACTING ON ITS OWN” every single one has been trained on data where people had done this first and then asked to attempt to do this all for the “if anything our AI is *too* powerful”

"There is something revealing in the gap between the masculine fantasy of protection and its reality: the fantasy requires a stranger, an obvious villain, a moment of uncomplicated heroism. Reality asks a man to believe a woman over his friend."

I'm sooooo tired of people acting like politics is this thing that is external to us that we can, somehow, opt out of. Literally everything is political and politics is an extension of who we are as well as the mechanism through which we create society based on who we are and what we value.

Now I've read @barristersecret.bsky.social novels, I am in furious tears. It is clearly organised crime. Two children have been arrested for arson. Of a failing club blatantly called Escobar which probably was being investigated for laundering. What's human life and history vs money?

Nuance: men must confront men acting badly. And I say that as a woman who does confront men, because I'm autistic.

This makes me sad, because I recognise so much of it. Even though, or maybe because, I stay and fight rather than leave.

Bad faith and /or no imagination. But on a tangent, I do actually believe I get to know an author a bit if I read more than 5 of their books. Their values etc. Without, I must stress, believing that they know me or that we're friends. Which is why Terry Pratchett's death hit me so hard.

Author Society is not authors themselves. Many authors have raised concerns about Author Society and steer clear. Publishers hate libraries.

Howled wirh laughter multiple times at Bad Apples, plus screamed once. Can't believe there are so many reviews complaining that this surrealist parable isn't realism, when it's not trying to be. It is viciously funny satire.
