The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

One of my superpowers regarding magical housecleaning is the ability to lie to myself about how long it will take. Throughout the entire process. Seven hours in, I'm still: “This next part will take like 20 minutes!”
Also, Florida Water in the Bissell hard floor steam cleaner is the shit. Dilute!

if you believe that a better world is possible, you may be tarred as a doomer, because achieving a better world involves calling attention to what is wrong with this one.
your very optimism is called pessimism, particularly by people for whom the current world is more than comfortable.

It's very clear that unlimited wealth causes brain damage. That's not an exaggeration.
It's similar to other unnatural human conditions like solitary confinement (which is widely understood to cause mental deterioration) and other types of sensory deprivation.

It cannot get lost in the shuffle, even with so much else going on, that the world's most wealthy people have had their minds absolutely rotted out, just saturated to the dripping point with black mold down to the studs and frame, by the all encompassing unhumanity of their wealth.

If you promote your new book with an ‘AI trailer’, the only thing guaranteed to happen is that a lot of folk will think: ‘AI equals arseholes involved, I’ll never read this book’. That and the fact I will block you.
