Carrie isn't supposed to be curious, eager, kind, and excited to be there. She's supposed to be dull and annoying and smelling funny, and the challenge of the story is to make you feel compassion for that person, too, and then see how she becomes the monster at least in part due to people like you.

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.

"wreckers not welcome" is the explicit policy of my little gym business. someone else using the space recently went on a tirade against religion & I told them straight up not to come to my classes saying that because religious people are welcome in them. that was that. it can be done.

I remember one kid my mom helped, because she got referred to her late so my mom had offered to tutor her over the summer in hopes that she could pass the August exam and get back on track. I happened to be in the school building for a summer theater program so I was catching rides with my mom.

The entire article is fantastic, but the writer's definition of a trad wife is *chef's kiss* perfection. "Those are conservative women who dress like the women in The Sound of Music, but without the opposition to the Anschluss."

If I had to bet, what's happening with the frontier models is that they haven't delivered the wonders that were promised since the last time they did the "OH MY GOD IT'S SO DANGEROUS IT'S GOING TO DESTROY US ALL" song and dance. And they need to feed the hype machine to keep the grift going.

We’re talking here about Col. Josh Gaspard, who parachuted into Bashur during the 2003 invasion as a 2LT, then a year in Afg, then company command in surge-era Iraq. His Columbia degrees aren’t even in the “woke” social sciences, they’re in industrial engineering and engineering management systems.

Remembering how during the Claudine Gay scandal, one of its biggest promoters of the story was Bill Ackman. Then someone uncovered that Ackman's own wife was a professor alleged to have committed much more serious academic misconduct than Gay and then nothing happened to her.

Brutal news about Glen Hansard. Every once in a while I'll rewatch this opening scene to Once, which is obviously of a time, but is still awfully beautiful. Watched this at a little movie theatre and had no idea what it was about and was just blown away by the electricity of it. RIP.

Right, and here's the thing. Greenidge was writing against consensus history, breaking new ground, challenging historians' interpretations. There are likely few people on earth who have enough mastery of the source materiel, and they would be *precisely* the people Greenidge was challenging.

Absolute banger of an obituary in the Seattle Times today, rest in peace Judy

Judith DOORIS
May 18, 1936 - Jun 13, 2026
Judy Chambers Dooris was born on either March or May 18 - nobody is certain - 1936, in California, and died June 13, 2026. This is already off to a rough start. Mom would never reveal her age to us kids, so she would certainly object to announcing her birth year in the news-paper. Apologies, mom. They made us do it.
Judy was the firstborn child of Mildred Devlin and Edward

In her early 20s, Judy was a bridesmaid at Bill Dooris' cousin's wedding. He was smitten and courted her long-distance for many months. She would want us to write here that she had options. But lucky for us, she chose Bill and a life filled with his good humor, song, and laughter. She would often say to us "marry someone fun" because she did.
Judy and Bill lived in Bellevue, and Judy birthed 4 kids in just under 4.5 years. Obviously, she was Catholic. Judy was ferociously protective of her children against clear threats. Once on a family camping trip, a roaring drunk uncle stormed into our camping trailer intending to scare us kids, but mom met him at the threshold and hollered, "YOU GET OUT OF HERE!" He yelped and retreated, squeaking "sorry Judy." Against possible threats, she
