18th Century specialists, a question for you: I’ve come across several period sources claiming that Britain was notorious among neighbouring countries for its high rate of suicide. Was this actually true, or just a national self-image? If anyone can point me to modern sources I’d be v grateful

People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.

I rarely do this, listening to or watching people discuss my books makes me feel acutely self-conscious. But the four people here were so thoughtful and generous about Fionavar, and it is so long ago (40+ years!) I actually felt an odd, grateful detachment.

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.
