FATALITY
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates: overall takeaway from the Curtis Yarvin profile is that there must be millions of smart-aleck show-offy kids who annoy their teachers and go on to annoy other adults through their lives with their “contrarian” pose that hardens to a carapace over their faces; until, as adults, they still harbor a delusion that, if there is a king, or a fuhrer, he’d be impressed with the guys motor mouth and appoint him to his cabinet rather than deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist as Stalin did routinely.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Baby crying on the airplane hasn’t figured out how to optimize his message for his audience. Shrieking doesn’t quite hit the mark here—the displeasure is voiced, but it silently fails to convert other passengers. What he needs: one crisp marketing page to sell his point of view.

google is just completely broken now
Google search for "control resonant those meows means he's on the creatures trail"

AIO "answer": The phrase "control resonant those meows means he's on the creatures trail" appears to be an anagram.

When you rearrange the letters of those exact words, they unscramble to reveal a famous quote from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in WonderlandThe phrase "control resonant those meows means he's on the creatures trail" appears to be an anagram.

When you rearrange the letters of those exact words, they unscramble to reveal a famous quote from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

"Curtsey while you're thinking what to say. It saves time."

How it breaks down:

Original letters: c-o-n-t-r-o-l-r-e-s-o-n-a-n-t-t-h-o-s-e-m-e-o-w-s-m-e-a-n-s-h-e- -o-n-t-h-e-c-r-e-a-t-u-r-e-s-t-r-a-i-l

The original quote is spoken by the Red Queen (in Through the Looking-Glass) or associated with the general nonsense logic of Wonderland!

We can learn from our queer elders 🫶🏻

when my masc lesbian aunt died, women just kept coming, screaming, crying, and saying they were her wives. Eventually we just had to start telling them to join the others. They were all devastated to learn about each other. Except for one who came in, kissed her dead mouth and showed us all that they had matching tattoos. She actually won all the mourning wives over and they all agreed she was the wife. It was so weird.Did not expect more than a few people to see this but yes it really happened, yes it was insane

every car should come with a feature that's just a button on the dash you can press when you're going 15 over and someone is still riding your ass. it would make a little sign pop up on your rear bumper that reads "what do you actually reasonably expect me to do for you right now?"

Queens pitcher, Ayami Sato received a drawing from a child fan named Mave(name could be cut off) it’s between two backpacks and a game ball.

With the scorebug its bottom of the 4, 2-0 Queens. Queens 2 hits 9 errors. Firebells 0 runs, 3 hits, 1 error.

Joyce Carol Oates • @JoyceCarolOates
really, this is a serious question: why on earth would Chris Christie imagine that anyone, anywhere, ever would want him to run for President? what sparks such a delusion? granted, his wife might enjoy having him out of the house & on the campaign trail; but better just get an inexpensive hobby instead.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

...all the animosity hurled towards trans ppl the last few days is completely misplaced. this is a *cisgender problem*: cis ppl need to decide whether you want us to be part of the anti-MAGA coalition or not. if you do, then call out the Dems pushing us out... juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...
screenshot from linked-to essay that reads:
Trans people are people. And politics works the exact same way on us as it does for everyone else. If you’re a politician or a political party, then you’re going to strive to build yourself a winning coalition. You will do this by saying what you are for and what you are against. Depending upon the principles and policies you forward, some voters will be drawn to you and others not so much. You can’t please everybody. But you are the ultimate “decider” of said policies and principles! And if you decide to ignore, discard, or demonize a particular constituency, it is inevitable that *some* of them will become disenchanted and may turn elsewhere when it comes to election day.
For the love of God, stop blaming trans people for all of this! Blame the cisgender politicians and consultants who are ignoring, discarding, and demonizing us. Call them divisive, as they are the ones who are attempting to divide our current anti-MAGA coalition in the name of (misguided) political expediency.

...Assumption #4 has been driving me batshit, yet no one seems to realize it: if you're worried trans ppl might potentially harm your Dem candidate's chances, then YOUR CANDIDATE MADE A BAD DECISION! so why not join us in trying to get them to reverse position? juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...
screenshot from linked-to essay that reads:
Assumption #4: The elephant in the room that no one is talking about
There is a striking disconnect between Talarico, Turek, et al. — who have clearly made a political calculation that abandoning trans rights will help them more than it will hurt them in this election — and the many cisgender liberals I’ve encountered online who are absolutely freaking out over the possibility that trans people’s critiques and protests will ultimately tank said candidates.
Both of these things cannot simultaneously be true!
If you think your favorite candidate enacted the correct political strategy, then there is no reason to berate trans people for protesting it, as those protests should already be baked into your candidate’s calculations. So why are you berating trans people then? (Unless, of course, you enjoy berating trans people just for the sake of it.)
Alternatively, if you think trans people *are* capable of tanking your favorite candidate via our criticisms and protests, doesn’t that imply that your candidate (and their consultants and strategists) totally fucked up in their political calculations here? And if they did fuck up, shouldn’t you be reaching out and complaining to *them* (rather than berating trans people), in the hope that they might reverse their bad decision?
