Who do I know going to SXSW Interactive this year?

A new fable:

In days of old, there lived a shepherd who tended the flocks of a prosperous village. Each morning, they would lead the sheep to graze in the lush meadows beyond the village walls, and each evening, they would return them safely to their pens.

Recently finished Children of Dune. I mostly enjoyed it, but why do these novels seem to always end with some protagonist acquiring god-like powers and deciding to enforce their vision of the way life should be upon the universe? That's just a cheap ending to an otherwise intricate book.

I’ve been looking forward to season 2 of Severance for way too long. I hope that doesn’t ruin it for me.
