But first, you should go see the movie - one of my favorites of the year - which is in theaters RIGHT NOW! 🐇🐇🐇

This profoundly evil little freak is also the final form of something I've been calling Office Brain for years, a type of guy who touched computer so hard he forgot the physical world exists. Bro thinks AI can rotate his tires or give him a haircut
“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, esp. those with vocational training,” said Karp. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”

Palantir CEO Says AI to Make Large-Scale Immigration Obsolete
Artificial intelligence will displace so many jobs that it will eliminate the need for mass immigration, according to Palantir Technologies Inc. Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp.

"Do you want to unwind by watching movies where innocent people get thrown into detention centers or abducted from their homes by masked government agents or slaughtered by domestically deployed shock troops? Does that feel like 'horror' to you, or does it feel like news? I’m genuinely asking."
Over at the newsletter: A bit on George Romero's "The Crazies," and more on how weird it feels to write about horror movies during a time of actual horrors: jude-doyle.ghost.io/the-craz/
The War at Home: The Crazies (George A. Romero, 1973; Breck Eisner, 2010)
What happens when the scares start catching up with reality?

There's no better way to observe MLK Day than to go on the news and insist that the civil rights protesters objecting to police brutality are actually "paid agitators"

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

When I was a young man, Jean was very encouraging to my dreams of writing for TSR. And while that didn’t really pan out, I have nothing but fond and pleasant memories of how she (and a couple other folks) positively affected my life.

one of the less-obvious things you lose with book bans and censorship is how many kids bored by English class first fall in love with reading due to the sheer exhilaration of getting away with something dangerous by checking a Grown-Up Book out of the library and realizing books can be Like That™️
It's much easier to encounter Romance in the traditional way. Stumbling upon paperbacks at your grandma's house when you are 12.
