The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed.
There was a shimmer - a demon appeared.
"Curious. What ritual is this?"
"I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!"
"I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

Somebody reset the "days since a burned out UK doctor dealt with the moral injury of their health care system teetering on the verge of complete collapse due to decades of fiscal starvation by deciding the real problem is disabled people are getting too much health care" sign
Thinking a lot about the belief that humans are overwhelmingly mostly healthy and normal and that an increase in chronic illness diagnosis is due to overdiagnosis when it’s actually that chronic illness/disease is the norm and we’ve been not detecting most of it www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
The number of people with chronic conditions is soaring. Are we less healthy than we used to be – or overdiagnosing illness?
Are ordinary life experiences, bodily imperfections and normal differences being unnecessarily pathologised? One doctor argues just that

Backing this up: the @altnps.bsky.social account is BlueAnon Hashtag Resistance grift.
Almost 800,000 people on here are following a totally-not-real account claiming it's a group of rogue park workers and who are now posting cryptic nonsense to make it seem like they're sending messages to the deep state. Also they're selling resistance merch. WTF are we doing man?

Please stop using Substack. It is funding the most vile shit (white nationalism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, just absolutely vile) and they do not give a fuck.
Here is the co-founder of Substack blaming its users for seeing Nazis on the platform and then trying to deflect from the fact that Substack revenue shares with Nazis by saying he encounters more extremism here on Bluesky (which doesn't revenue share with Nazis).
This is I ndefensible.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.
Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

Being from Southern California in the 70s it’s always funny to explain to people who grew up elsewhere what a smog alert was
as a child I could tell when we were gonna have a smog alert (no playing on the playground) because my chest would hurt on the inhale

i tell this story every time these old photos come up but: I remember in film school one of my classmates asked what about film chemistry in the 1970s caused everything shot in NYC to look so brown and grimy and our professor was like "that wasn't the film, that's just what the air looked like here"
It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017

I am very concerned about my non American friends, and frankly given this Administration, a fair amount of my American friends, going to Worldcon this year and next year (next year is Los Angeles).
so hey, not to be That Guy, but remember how SFF fans called for a boycott of Chengdu Worldcon on the basis of the CCP’s actions in Xinjiang and China potentially not being safe for certain authors? are we going to have a similar discussion about Seattle Worldcon given the circumstances, or -?

Will some of you stop generating shit AI images. I've seen two already today. A) they look crap, b) the result comes from stolen work it's been trained on, and c) the implications on the environment are horrific. You can post whatever you like but fair warning I'll unfollow & stop you following me.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
