My dear friend Stephanie's 26-year-old son, Jaden, was recently shot and killed in Atlanta. He leaves behind a fiancee and 4-year-old daughter—"his whole world," as Stephanie put it. Stephanie has created a fundraiser to help cover rent and bills as they face the unimaginable. Any amount helps.

Berger's three laws of chatbotics: 1) The bot should never express emotions. 2) The bot should never praise the user. 3) The bot should never say it understands the user's mental state. There's no use case for these things, and they're obviously problematic. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/t...

the problem with even trying to rigorously count utils is that you can count any number of utils you want by shifting your time window and your probability estimates.

Absolutely thrilled to share the cover to next year's short story collection coming out from @tordotcom.bsky.social! I'm obsessed with it! Comes out March 24, 2026, but you can pre-order it now wherever you like getting your books! Here's Macmillan's link. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

On a gradient background that goes from blush-pink at the top to a muddy green at the bottom, a book cover. Super-imposed on a pastoral, oil-painting style image depicting a forested foreground and a hilly background beneath a soft champagne sky, is superimposed a 3-dimensional rhomboid-shape, the facets of which play with space. One facet shows a pale cloudy sky, and from it, a brown hare emerges chasing the hind legs and bushy tail of a wolf, the rest of which vanishes out of the rhomboid frame. The rhomboid's other facets -- which create the kind of infinity loop of an Escher painting -- are either blush-pink or covered in the greenery from the background. Above the rhomboid is the title, and the subtitle "Stories"; below it are the words New York Times Bestselling & Award-winning Author Amal El-Mohtar. My name and the word "Stories" are in the same blush-pink as the rhomboid's facets.

🚨🚨🚨WARHAMMER CONFERENCE ALERT🚨🚨🚨 I'm running this ridiculous but also weirdly timely stream about Warhammer 40K and left politics at the upcoming London Conference in Critical Thought 2025. If you're interested in submitting, see the instructions below. If you're interested in attending, it's free!

The Cruellest and Most Bloody Stream Imaginable: What’s Left of Warhammer 40,000? Warhammer 40,000 is now a global cultural phenomenon. This ascension has been accompanied by an adoption of the setting by reactionary political groups. Now wider political conflicts are played out over the meaning of the world and its aesthetics. Additionally, the setting is now a simulacrum of the phenomena it originally represented. Whereas HG Wells’ Little Wars pioneered tabletop wargaming as a humane alternative to conducting real ones, now Russian troops go into battle wearing purity seals blessed by the Russian Orthodox Church, while Ukrainian units named for the Chaos God of War launch drone attacks on North Korean soldiers. In this way, Warhammer 40,000 is a part of the construction and conquest of nations, along with the nationalisms emerging around these activities. On the other hand, to view Warhammer 40,000 as purely reactionary is to miss the fact that the hobby unites diverse communities, the setting is sufficiently rich as to generate multiple readings, and its eclectic repurposing of ideas and imagery lends itself to multifaceted and genuinely interesting discussion. This stream seeks to explore Warhammer 40,000 in its contemporary political significance. It also seeks to do so in a way that recovers it for more progressive political projects. Topics of papers might include: ● Queerness in Warhammer 40,000 ● Warhammer 40,000 and feminism ● Theopolitical aesthetics in the 3rd and 41st Millennia ● Satire in Warhammer 40,000 ● Rogue Trader and the politics of the 1980s ● The changing face of the Warhammer 40,000 community ● Grimdark and political hope ● Representations of masculinity in Warhammer 40,000 ● Warhammer 40,000 as a vehicle for fantasies ● Disability in Warhammer 40,000 ● Warhammer, war, and nationalism ● Mediatisation and the reception of Warhammer 40,000 ● Is the Biscopea stored in the balls?
