This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

One of the constants of the IT industry that I have learned is that there is an art to packaging computer hardware so that it returns to your IT Department in a functional state, and the majority of users have little or no clue how to practice that art.

Fucking THANK YOU.
Like, for real, I need a lot of you to dispense with the fantasies of objective, impartial tech. You are watching the intended purpose of this shit on display as we speak as Grok is hammered into compliance behind the scenes.

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

Absolutely. If there was ever a copper that was a right proper bastard, it's Sam Vimes.
people sometimes say ACAB doesn’t include Sam Vimes and I submit that this is exactly backwards
ACAB absolutely includes Sam Vimes and nobody is more aware of that than Sam Vimes
