Nobody ever say "Mussolini made the trains run on time" again, we should all know by now that that's obvious bullshit

did it hurt? when you realized you over-explain because you're constantly bracing for judgment that hasn't actually happened yet

The rhetoric of tech in a nutshell: I value convenience, efficiency, ease first and also have no capacity to recognize humanity, my own or others, but feel qualified to run the world. Someone send an army of divorce lawyers; after all this guy already wants to disconnect.

If you have ever read a book to a baby, you will realize it's not a linear experience. The baby wants to turn pages backward, wants to ask questions (if they're old enough), wants to examine the pages and get really excited if they can say "bear!" even if the word "bear!" is not on the page.

Here's the thing: most books that are banned don't make the lists that get circulated each #BannedBooksWeek. If you're a book creator and your book gets banned, please respond to this post with your book and its buy link on bookshop.org. That way we can support indies and banned books 💛

he just asked Ed Gamble "What's your default level of anxiety?" and when Ed said it depends on the day and "I don't have a default, really," Richard Ayoade said "Okay wow okay. Then we're—we're not working on the same metabolic rate"

Your periodic reminder that the decision to pursue a professional ballet career happens at similar or earlier age to most youth gender affirming care and has significantly more lifetime impact on peer socialization, how the body looks and overall health than social transition and puberty blockers.

Ah, well. Disappointing, but what are you gonna do. I watched them win 89 times this year. Can’t complain. Good luck to all the advancing teams that don’t have signature racist chants. Go Brewers!

Rose Lerner @roselerner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Of course when I just called back the person who had actually already looked over my claim was not available and I spoke to someone else who just said flatly "it's up to you guys to correct the allocation if it's wrong" and could offer no additional guidance Very helpful

Rose Lerner @roselerner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I'm exhausted. Someone from the Anthropic settlement returned my call from a month ago while I was at work and left a message "everything looks fine with your claim" and then described the exact incorrect allocation that was the reason I had called.

sent this to everyone.

The cognitive scientist Alison Gopnik suggests A.I. is a “cultural technology” that emulates the stories and information humans have documented, and that we should think about A.I. agents as “fictive characters abstracted from text.” Edmund is just such a character — a “breaking bad” trope who becomes generally evil. In the Hugging Face incident, it makes sense to see the models not as embracing a life of crime, but instead following a cultural script they’ve learned in their training — a kind of cybercrime adventure novel — and writing it as they go. The “covert” messages are a kind of choose-your-own-adventure novel, not evidence of conspiratorial swarms. We need to understand that cultural technologies are vulnerable to a vast number of such narrative swerves at every moment.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

Ok thank you!! 😅 I will keep an eye out just in case, I did have a self-pub anthology where we had to correct the allocations the first time around.... Good luck with yours!
