Oh, goodness, yes. It's a whole series (mostly novellas) and it's fantastic. Season 1 of the TV show was an embellished reimagining of the first novella in the series.

And evergreen advice for any kind of alarming email/phone call. Something I have struggled to remember when I've been phished, for real.
The defense, increasingly, is a single habit: when an email tells you something alarming about an account, don't respond to the email. Go to the service directly, on your own, the way you always do. If something is really wrong, you'll see it there. If you don't see it there, the email was lying.

@smartereveryday.bsky.social Hey Destin, thanks so much for all the great videos over the years! A couple years ago, I bought some Raycon Earbuds based on your recommendation in a couple videos. Have you tried their bone conduction ones? If so, is there a chance you have an affiliate link for them?

Today I wrote about our white supremacist political movement's perverse insistence that "we don't have to apologize for being white anymore." Conservatives have been apologizing, apparently. Did you know? I had no idea. So I asked, and here's what I found. www.the-reframe.com/apologies-fo...

How supremacists convert responsibility into blame to avoid paying natural costs and to make everyone else pay unnatural ones.

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...
This is a quote from the article summing up both studies in Technology Review: "A multi-university team of researchers has found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging both Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. The chatbots swayed opinions by citing facts and evidence, but they were not always accurate—in fact, the researchers found, the most persuasive models said the most untrue things."

If you love narrative-focused solo rpgs, like I do, check out this game! It's designed by a guy that gave me a ride to a bowling alley one time and published by a guy that did a great job with some narrative editing on one of my games, so I'm expecting it to be great!

important to reiterate from time to time: "artificial intelligence" does not exist. there is no sentient artificial being. no threepio. no demerzel. no terminator. what the tech publicists call "a.i." is just big, crappy databases and mindless and often incorrect autocorrect.
