When borders turn into battle lines, civilians move.

Afghanistan–Pakistan frontier is 2,600 km long and already fragile. Millions of Afghans have been displaced in recent years β€” many cycling between Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran.

Escalation means renewed movement.

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

Let’s be clear here: OpenAI’s head of natsec partnerships, as of TODAY, was trying to deny that NSA was part of DoD (β€œDoW”).

The specific post in question has been deleted but was part of this conversational thread:

Okay wait Claire is the implication that we don’t have to return from vacation until after we finish the book

Because in that case I’m totally taking Name of the Rose, a book I think I would enjoy a reread of but that I often simply want to put down

Did I tell you we got to see the Coliseum for the 2002 20-year celebration, it was delightful

Ooh this IS a fun question.

I feel like the answer has to be a book I HAVEN’T reread yet, because the second read is often the most rewarding for me. But one where I feel like I really missed stuff reading for plot. So, The Diamond Age?

I made myself finish Dune Messiah and I just couldn’t stomach the concept of pushing on…does it get better?

Amazingly Unsheltered is what I had in mind as a minor work. Which proves my point!!
