Weird. Usually if you get a really big fossil resource crash it's during a temperature extreme... that's a joke, but it's also true. Like writing a paper once I found out that Texas had a 4 GW coal plant crash in 2008 not just DURING a heat wave but BECAUSE of the heat wave.

Remember, the big argument for AI in the arts is that these “artists” have ideas, hundreds of ideas, thousands, all that was stopping them was the hoards of gatekeeping musicians, writers, illustrators… and not that they were lazy and didn’t want to put in the work.

it's interesting how both parties voting to condemn socialism has only made it more popular? I wonder if there's a popular apocryphal quote ascribed to Gandhi about that....

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.
We executed multiple members of that crew.

It's 'throw a baby puffin off a cliff' season in Iceland
Young puffins have to leave their burrows alone, without the help of their parents, and find the ocean. Every year, local Icelanders set out to help.

Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

cf. "strategy of tension"
Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
