First tweet: I told my grandma and my auntie that Chat GPT is the devil, and they've both warned the whole family

Quote tweet: I told them that it's satanic and it's made several people (mainly kids) sacrifice themselves for the devil and that there are news articles about it. Group chat lit up like five minutes later.

The Covid vax moving to a user-pays setup is pretty close to a wicked problem - our local pharmacist told us the reason for it is that virtually no one is getting the boosters, leading to appalling waste. But the cost for people wanting to do the right thing is pretty high.

In another world Israel's offensive in Gaza petered out in November/December 2023 as they expended their entire strategic stockpile of aerial bombs, as the US followed its own laws and moral obligations and did not provide new supply.

Sometimes I remember Nigeria, which has (per Wiki) 527 spoken languages (though many are dying out) and 1150+ dialects and ethnic groups, and think that no fantasy novelist would ever dare write something like that, because no one would believe it to be possible.

Means testing is just wedge used to turn the obviously outrageous "should we have this social net at all" into "who deserves this social net?". Every edge case is then used as an argument to diminish provision until it's gone. Cynically using people's sense of fairness to fuck everyone over.

My take is that hiking rates into imported inflation is fairly insane but we don't have a sane option everyone agrees on. We will all miss low unemployment when it is gone.

Once you learn that not a single major US news outlet used the phrase "Hamas-ran health ministry" until after 10.17.23 you really start to see how pernicious this stuff is. Nobody really disputed that the GHM was accurate, even Israel admitted so, but that didn't matter. Anyway now it is spreading

KING OF THE DEAD (1977) Gouache on illustration board - 24” x 14” I had the good fortune of working on Elric early in my career. The books by Michael Moorcock have proven to be enduring classics in fantasy. #art #booksky 🪐📚

Elric holds the slender black blade of Stormbringer as he turns in surprise toward a menacing skeletal figure. His gold cloak billows as he pivots, and the gold chain gripped in his other hand slackens as the ruby amulet bobs weightless with sudden motion. Arms flexed wide, the threatening figure grips a black trident. Beneath a horned helm, its skull is set in a deathly howl that exposes its fangs. With eyes flashing, a mass of figures skulk among smooth pillars in the background. Several of the ape-like humanoids flank Elric in the lower foreground.
