Authors seem to almost always style "goose bumps" as closed and "wineglass" as open, opposite the @merriam-webster.com definitions. The former is likely largely because of the book series, and the latter? It just looks odd, I'm guessing. #AmEditing

NEW: The top lawyer for the official inquiry into the Government’s handling of the Coronavirus pandemic has suggested that groups representing bereaved families have a “lack of understanding” after they highlighted a potential conflict of interest at the heart of the process

There really is something broken about centrist-columnist brain that posits horizons are broadened not by being in conversation with novelists, scientists, urban planners, artists, & activists but by being in conversation with right wingers. It highlights how flimsy these people’s outlooks are.

Anyone who thinks seeing more (polite, it always has to be polite) climate change denial or transphobia is more enlightening than getting an inside look into how laws work or reading a poem, or leaning about how the the mitochondria factors in chronic illness is a unserious, incurious person.

The latest in a series of events that have lead me away from first party materials for D&D and directly towards third parties.
You'd be fair in saying that I'm biased as I make third party content for D&D, but all I have to do is point to any number of Chris Cocks quotes to prove my point.

The discourse about that paper on highly-rated AI poetry especially misses the point—because one of the greatest strengths of poetry is that it’s a person speaking to you intimately, illuminating a real experience you may have never seen anyone put words to before. Some pieces I’ve liked lately:

Part of what makes poetry worth decrypting is the knowledge that someone encoded their experience into it, in a way that allows for multivalence in meaning and interpretations, which gives it dimension and body and life. I liked this by John Ashbery, even though it was a lot of decrypting on my end:

It's such a weird idea. Maybe a thought experiment: if you were going to attend an earth sciences conference where there'd be talks about volcanoes and erosion and plate tectonics, would it be an "echo chamber" if a bunch of flat-earther panels weren't approved?

One of the things that has slowed experiments with CCS down is of all things the injection permitting - delays were in the years because it all had to run through the overstretched feds. One by one states are getting permission to do it themselves (class VI primacy).
