In November of 2016, nearly 60 years after the paper was published internally, I had discovered the joke.
A few years later, I filed to have the paper declassified, and the NSA eventually agreed, and even put it up on their webpage:

To me, the rise of chatbot-based psychosis is a great way to show that language and (especially) writing are artificial constructs we engage in: we have an evolutionary response of the uncanny valley to things that look quasi-human, but not for things that facelessly produce quasi-human language.

I know others have gone into detail throughout the day, but I just want to make sure I highlight how important Judge Paula Xinis's order from today in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case is.
It is about discovery — the evidence the gov't is to turn over — but her points are sharp and the context is key.

All hail audiobooks, and the narrators who bring them to life. I discovered my love of audiobooks a few years ago, and without them I'd be truly lost.
Hoopla and Libby are my best friends, which is where I listened to most of these. A few are on the TBR, or I've listened elsewhere. (1/3)

If you're a horror kid and think that genre cinema isn't deeply tied to LBGT and black creators, think again!
@shudder.com has some incredible documentaries about the history of both black and queer horror cinema that I can't recommend enough.
