"Black House" and "Never Flinch" are the only King books I haven't finished.

Looking forward to your review. It took me two tries to finish "The Talisman," and I never did make it through "Black House." If King sticks whatever there is to land, I'll go back and try again.

If I was a reporter, I realized that I would only ever get to ask one question. Because it would be, "Sir, do you realize that you're psychotic?"

I don't hate Robbins work, but it always looked like he just knocked out ten pages a day.

If I ever did a comics podcast, this would be Episode #1. I could talk about this issue for an hour with no prep.

I have such great memories of this book. It's part of my comic journey in a lot of different ways.

My son was talking to a girl who asked if he likes movies. That's one. After he told her he was a big movie fan, she asked what kind of movies he liked. That's two. That night he told me about the conversation because he thought she was acting weird. I stared at him.

I asked ages ago but didn’t get much of a response so I’m taking another swing at it. Does anyone following me either know how to read Cree or know someone who can?

I have every King book and have read almost all of them. I didn't like The Talisman, but I finished it. Black House was the first one I just couldn't finish. I gave up on Don't Flinch too.

Looks like OpenAI may have stolen another mathematicians work.
Screenshot of an X post by user Valerio Capraro (@ValerioCapraro) featuring text followed by an embedded photo of a man in glasses and a dark sweater against a forested outdoor background.
The post text reads:
"BREAKING: OpenAI might have stolen another major proof.
In a detailed Mastodon post, which I report in full in the comments, Andreas Thom presents several pieces of evidence suggesting that OpenAI may have trained Astra on conversations in which he and Gábor Kun were working on Gromov's soficity conjecture, one of the ten problems OpenAI later announced Astra had solved.
I know Andreas. We met several times early in our careers. He is an exceptional mathematician, a leading expert on sofic and hyperlinear groups, and one of the most respected scholars in the field. He has spent two decades working on this problem.
If his account is correct, this is not a minor dispute over attribution. It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself.
And if the allegations raised by Levent Alpöge, Tristan Buckmaster, and now Andreas Thom are all substantiated, we are no longer looking at isolated incidents.
We may be looking at one of the greatest intellectual scandals in the history of science.
AI is not discovering new mathematics.
AI is stealing human discovery."
