This is just too good. All of it. Even the title. (As someone who worked in publishing, I can assure you all that this was a case of the author absolutely insisting on it against the editors' judgment.) Just amazing. #JohnFetterman

It's worth reading Mary McCarthy's 1986 review of Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale." Not for how she misjudges its achievement but more for what McCarthy, a brilliant writer and intellectual, couldn't see—and to judge how far America has come since then. #Skystorians archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes....

What's going to happen to all of the augmented electricity production infrastructure once the AI bubble bursts? Supply is suddenly going to far outpace demand from what I can tell, and I'm wondering what may happen apart from decreasing prices (which would be hugely welcome in any case).
