While they're waiting, there's another Aoi Yuki-led Magical girl series that did what Madoka does without being Nihilistic about it...and actually got satisfying conclusion after 5 seasons without pulling Urobuchi's 'love is the root of all evil' nonsense that soured his works over the years.

A genuinely alarming piece in the NYT about how the developers, scientists and assorted techbros behind "AI companions"/"synthetic care" do not even know or understand the potential harms of the tech they're developing but they're too greedy to stop themselves from developing it.

Including disabled people in our utopian futures pushes back against a eugenicist ideal.
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

I have a lot to do today, which is a shame because I’d really rather lie rigidly on my couch while listening to Hikaru Utada’s “Sonewhere in Marseilles” all day.

I'm enjoying Breakdown: 1975 very much. I was 8 that year.

Thanks to @rickperlstein.bsky.social for the tip.

age verification is functionally a huge security hazard for _all_ internet users but the government will call you a danger to children if you point this out
“In October, one of Discord’s former third-party vendors suffered a data breach that exposed users’ age verification data, including images of government IDs.”
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

I just learned about the existence of this record, and I gotta say, Ohtaki-san probably could have phrased the title a little better.
