"Happiness, free, for everyone, and let nobody be forgotten!"
The Mines of Behemoth, by Michael Shea. Absolute peak fantasy adventure
OK, less contentious post:

You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?

For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

Car Fact: discount all-weather tires are fine to get you through moving water as long as you're travelling fast enough. Water respects confidence, drop into low gear and gun the engine, now is your time
also: floodwater is faster and stronger than you and your car combined so jsut dont fuck with it it will win evrey time
perfect time for my perennial PSA: dont drive through water!!!!!!!! you cant see the bottom you dont know how deep it is you dont know what its covering!! there could be a sinkhole!!!!!!!!!!

Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, turns off all of the techno-shit in his goggles. All it does is confuse him; he stands there reading statistics about his own death even as it's happening to him. Very post-modern.
Tiny Tim, who DID NOT die, was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.

Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, does not necessarily believe everything Marco Polo says when he describes the cities visited on his expeditions...
Tiny Tim, who DID NOT die, awoke one morning from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

Wayback Machine grabbed the original Epstein files dump before that photo of Trump got pulled.

You can't get to the individual PDF page for the missing image, but if you click "download all files" and download it locally you can find the now-deleted file in: IMAGES / 0001 / EFTA00000468.pdf

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?"

Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

i'm fascinated by how much people love and are amazed by chat gpt saying "nice catch!" and "great observation!" because i personally find the condescension and obsequiousness the most skin-crawling thing about how LLMs "talk"
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers

Generative AI will *massively* accelerate these pathetic dipshits towards murdering trans people in the exact same way and for the exact same reason it accelerates them toward suicide, family annihilation, and attempting to disprove quantum mechanics.

It literally can't help but do so.

In 1988 Umberto Eco wrote Foucault's Pendulum.

The plot is: a bunch of guys working at a self-publisher house, for fun, take their huge crackpot and crank slush pile and jam it all together using a simple markov chain program written in BASIC.

They create a Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory.

So I will concede that maybe GenAI could come up with a name like Quest 64.

But it could never conjure a protagonist with a name like Brian.
Or imagine naming a spell Rock 2.

Quest is pure man-made art

Actual psychologist here, and there are 2 things I would like to point out:

1. This sort of "we tried our best / we weren't so bad" is very much a classic move of the awful authoritarian and/or narcissistic parent, they've always done this and social media has allowed them more reach 🧵
