„Wir haben mal 1 KI gefragt“, heißt es dieser Tage beiläufig in allen möglichen Kontexten, häufig ohne jeden erkennbaren Mehrwert, einfach, weil man‘s kann. Das ist Normalisierung der Nutzung von Fake-Schleudern, die Kreativen die Jobs streitig machen & das Internet mit Slop zumüllen. Was soll das?

Filibustering with How Democracies Die. No one ever has filibustered with Why Nations Fail. political science supremacy over Econ confirmed.

Art forgery is a victimless crime that should not be prosecuted if the artist and immediate heirs are dead. Also, heists like the Louvre, the punishment should be limited to handing back what is stolen if the execution was victimless and cool enough. Especially if a tunnel is involved.

The way the lines come absolutely alive here. I'm in awe 😍

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

I know correlation isn’t causation, and I know numbers this small are anecdotes not data, but Redford, like Lynch, certainly does provide evidence towards the notion that trying to do good in your life might be related to continuing to get hotter right up until the day you pass from this earth

Diese Kirk-Meinungsartikel überall zeigen so ein stumpfes Bild von Politik. Fokus nur auf Form, null auf Inhalt.

Hauptsache man debattiert, dann ist das demokratisch und gut. Was die Inhalte sind, ist egal.

Menschenverachtung scheint für diese Autor:innen ok, solange sie anständig vorgetragen wird

Charlie Kirk war nicht "konservativ" oder "rechts-konservativ". Charlie Kirk war ein rechtsextremer Rassist, Sexist und Faschist. Jemand mit Einstellungen, die Teile der AfD moderat erscheinen lassen. Man muss sein politisches Projekt nicht beschönigen, um seine Ermordung zu verurteilen.

Trying to live my life so people are genuinely sad if I die, and not merely in a "well, this will only beget more violence" kind of way

It is incumbent upon us to display the grace, humility, and empathy that the deceased displayed throughout his own life right now.

"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know." from Fire Emblem Awakening has stuck with me ever since first finishng the game many years ago. It's quite a well-known line within FE fandom, but still not what I'd consider a classic.

Sehr empfehlenswert. Ich habe absichtlich langsam gelesen weil ich nicht wollte, dass das Buch allzu schnell endet.

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because

a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked

b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

Today I feel desperate.

"There are three kinds of magic," said Wizzler, handing us each a balloon. "You can control tigers, you can shoot tornadoes from your fingers, or you can fly by holding your breath. The color of confetti inside your balloon will reveal which kind of power you have." I felt the panic rising in me. What if my confetti turned yellow, indicating that I was a Tiger-Talker? My family, a long line of proud Tornado-Fingers, would disown me. Could I ever return home, bearing such shame? I tried to calm myself as I readied the ceremonial safety pin. Green, I thought, willing my hopes into reality. Please be green. I popped the balloon, involuntarily shutting my eyes. When I opened them, would I see the green I hoped for? The yellow I feared? What if, gods forbid, the confetti were blue? I opened my eyes, seeing shock on the faces of my classmates. Wizzler himself stared at me, wide-eye. Looking down, I saw myself covered in confetti... purple confetti.

“I don’t understand,” I growled, my body trembling with pain. “I combined eighty percent Earth-elemental mana with twenty percent Fire-elemental mana (Type B), focused through a twenty-four-sided icositetragon made of yellow topaz. This, in conjunction with my blood type, star sign, sense of humor, and nickname, should have produced a blazing column of lightning to vaporize my enemies. Instead, it made a big bubble that smells like fresh laundry. Why?” Skullgrumbler began to laugh. “You fool! You don’t even realize…” he squealed. “You’re facing east!”

“It’s whatever you want,” explained Magemaster Grampledog. “Magic is just whatever you want.” I knew he was speaking in riddles, but I couldn’t grasp his hidden meaning. “So the rules are…” Grampledog lit a sliver of smokereed. “No rules. You say some words and you wave a stick and whatever you want just happens. You don’t even need the stick.” His wisdom still eluded me. I stared into his face, trying to decipher what he was really saying. “No, listen.” Grampledog snapped his fingers and his desk turned into a pile of chicken nuggets. “I didn’t even know that would happen.” His hat then came alive and began to yodel. “It’s pandemonium,” he explained. “It’s complete nonsense.”

In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:

RIP to an absolute legend.

"My favorite Tom Lehrer song is the one about smut" girlfriend, "my favorite Lehrer is the one about adverbs" boyfriend

Lehrer's performance is sampled in the track "Dope Peddler" by U.S. rapper 2 Chainz on his 2012 album Based on a T.R.U. Story, (2) In 2013, Lehrer said he was "very proud" to have his 60-year-old song sampled. His response to the request to use the song was "As sole copyright owner of 'The Old Dope Peddler', I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?" [21

Just realized I haven’t seen anyone post the Tom Lehrer-2 Chainz letter yet today.
