I read an article that referred to "the former English Prince Andrew" and I thought hold on - surely he's still English? What do you even demote somebody to from there?

It’s strange to write this, but of all things, Frank Miller’s Sin City seems weirdly topical. The details are different (cannibalism rather than pedophilia) and the scale much smaller (the most powerful man in one city and not most of the richest and most powerful men in the hemisphere).

This is a hell of a thing to use GenAI for in a time where numerous computer programs exist with which you can fairly easily create beautiful slop-free RPG maps.

I got to find some of these guys, buy some cheap plastic wristwatches and sell them to them with a 9000% markup as ‘AI Bracelets’.
I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

I once tried to find a short excerpt from a Tarzan book without any overt racism in and it was pretty difficult.
I wonder if the very slow drip of those files is because it’s equally hard to find a batch with no direct mention of Trump.

I've never understood how nobody has ever written a novel about this before, but there was a brief time when the *Irish republican movement* possessed the first fully functional submarine.
Yes, you heard that right.

'Electrolytes' doesn't sound like a real w6. It sounds like something a medicine sci-fi writer made up. Like 'midichlorians'. I refuse to believe they're real.

A: The statement is categorically false. Cancer diagnoses, specifically, always get fast-tracked. B: You'll also not have to worry about medical bankruptcy.
Waltz: "Denmark has ignored Greenland from a defense standpoint and they have ignored the Greenlandic native iniut people ... if you get a cancer diagnosis in Greenland right now, it's darn near a death sentence. Denmark has not invested in the way it should've over the years."

And it’s searchable - the image itself isn’t.
alt text is important for accessibility and my plea for people who don't personally need it - aside from it being the right thing to do - is, well, you'd actually benefit from it more than you think
how many times have you seen someone quote something with a character you don't recognize? alt text!

Folks I know it takes a little extra time and there's a lot going on, but please try to use alt text. It's hard if you're otg but otherwise just do it.

If you ask ChatGPT anything you have to subsequently search out the information in a different way to check whether the information is correct which is the same thing you'd do without ChatGPT.
That's not why I don't use it but I feel it would be a good reason to stop if I did.

I didn't enjoy the cold war paranoia but I still think it seems a little complacent to swear somebody in as president when you're not absolutely dead cert that he isn't a Russian asset. Twice.
Especially after an investigation found that, although not definitely, he very likely is.

I need to take these mushrooms so I don’t accidentally step on the tiny invisible people.
With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans
Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

Ok, så undersøgelsen viser altså det stik modsatte af det, artiklen konkluderer. 89% af de unge har ikke prøvet at køre på en ulovlig elcykel. Og intet om, hvor mange af de resterende 11% som generelt gør det (frem for bare at "have prøvet" det).

I have Katabasis by RF Kuang as the next book in my pile of shame, but it's not a real rec since I haven't read it yet. We do consider it fantasy, right?
It wasn't the book I'd meant to buy. I thought I'd been recommended it but I got it confused with a different book by the same author.

If you see this and agree, you are obligated to rec a book by a fantasy author who's still writing. I don't make the rules.
I mean, I do. Please though? It'd be great.

I'm always baffled by the "I'll ONLY read old fantasy" crowd.
You know there are LIVING authors doing really cool stuff, right? Like, LOTS of them? And we could get MORE if more people bought their stuff?

Mark Rutte says he won't comment on Greenland except to say that he agrees with the US President that we need to strengthen security in the Arctic.
Paradoxically, the US president doesn't really think that, given that security in the Arctic isn't really threatened by anyone other than the US.
