Intense, emotional, and deeply atmospheric, Hellblade pulls players into Senua’s mind for a story as beautiful as it is harrowing. Let's take a look back at this under-rated gem.

Thinking a lot about Stranger Things S4 (and listening to the latest OSP Detail Diatribe) is resurfacing a lot of memories - most notably the elements of "satanic panic" that held over well into the 2000s when I was first playing D&D.
My current biggest gripes with S4:

1. The Sinclair sibs kicking parallel butt in E1 should have been paralleled in V2. It would've created a nice bookend to the season for my favourite characters!

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Is the Canberra Health Services website down? I've been trying to access it since yesterday, with no luck.

I got an after-visit summary through MyDHR for a medical appointment and it is more riddled with errors than the plot of Stranger Things S4. I need to get it corrected, but I'm not sure how.

Can confirm. 12/10 experience, would highly recommend.
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

My closing thought is the same as it's been for years: companies want to make LLMs into liability avoidance devices. Someone at IBM figured this out in 1979 and put this in a presentation, and it's only become more accurate over time: blog.apaonline.org/2023/04/13/r...

Would anyone want to see a list of my favourite fanfic recommendations? Debating whether to share them here...

LOL jk of course i'm gonna share them here! Even though I know nobody is interested. What else is this platform for??
My favourite kinds of fics to come from S4 include:

- Steve Harrington stuck in a time loop (until he fixes V2's terrible writing decisions)

- Love confessions via mixtape (bc honestly the loss of mixtapes is what's wrong with the world today)

- Third party perspectives. Love.

Inner monolog while reading his later books, "Ugh, another sex scene. Skip ahead. They're still doing it? Keep skipping. Really? Still at it? This could be used to encourage celibacy. Finally, plot! Dammit, they're fucking again!"
