I remain perplexed that a government can “shut down”. Like that makes no sense to me at all. I, a citizen of the parliamentary system know oddities abound but you’re the government. In my world this would breed a leadership crisis, a collapse of govt and an election.

I love going over the Fraser and thinking, wow, it’s just straight down there and these little doors to hold us in. Specially on the old trains that sound like a dump truck.

Greta was stripped and had soldiers film themselves with her while Israel's far-right minister Ben-Gvir screamed at her. Absolutely degrading sexual abuse and the Swedish foreign minister's reaction is essentially "she asked for it".

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing). In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Also pretty sure Sam there opens with, fuck mental health. I could be wrong. Maybe I’m being too sensitive. Let me ask ChatGPT.

I dunno literary but if you are a reader and tell me you don’t have a library card or haven’t been in a library in decades I will judge you.

And the loss of the mass market paperback book size is a straight line to (consumerism) booktok.

It’s Thanksgiving today and that means a lot of mish mash movies on the tv and like Christmas, mindless snacking.

But, we should hate less on League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (I know it’s not its source!). Every time I see it I will stop to watch it. I find it a perfect cheeseball afternoon movie.

If you have yet to read One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This I encourage you to seek it out in any form. Or begin with the essay below. So many people I know have been silent. I will not forget that when they speak out now.

The great thing about the library is you find things you’ve never heard about. Anywhere. Not on any best seller list you follow or online or anywhere. Simply sitting on a shelf in the library. Waiting. And you choose to take a chance on it based on a cover, a blurb and your gut. It’s analog magic.

Get up early on a Saturday if you want, be a weirdo, I don’t care, but in my complex where all main bedrooms face onto the common road, do you have to start & idle your car like its 1979 and 30 below? Open and close trunks - repeatedly? Organise your recycling? Before 7am??? Have some self respect.
