Love to see libraries and lore crossover

I've had time to sit with TLOAS, it feels rushed and clunky.

Songs I like in order: Opalite, Father Figure, Cancelled, The Fate of Ophelia, Actually Romantic, Elizabeth Taylor

Everything else is a skip. Don't think it will knock Audrey Hobert off the top spot in my listens for the year.

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

I need to be banned from listening to Audrey Hobert's album before I make myself sick of it. Luckily Oct 3 isn't far away...

You know it’s been a good night when the only memento you have is the one that covered your camera

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

As part of my goal to read more classics, I sometimes check with Sparknotes to ensure my interpretation of the books are correct. This time confirming that the gothic novel references really do come out of left field in Northanger Abbey.

Relieved to hear on this week's Every Single Album that @noraprinciotti.bsky.social and @nathanchubbard.bsky.social are equally as puzzled by Nobody's Son's popularity on Manchild. On the other hand, the Abba-esque Goodbye definitely needs more love.

I said I wouldn’t fly to the US for the next four years, but for Eeny I just might.

Is S3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty completely written by AI? No amount of TS songs can save it.

What are we going to do tonight, my love? You know I’m still in high school.

Acceptable- I’ll show you. I take your hand, guiding you to the bed. Our bodies entwined, I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss. “My love,” I whisper, “I’ll love you forever.”

Unacceptable - I’ll cherish you, body and soul. Tonight, our love will blossom. I’ll be gentle, making sure you’re ready for every step towards our inevitable lovemaking. Your pleasure and comfort are my priority. We’ll create a night to remember, a night that makes you feel like a woman.

Why - It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual. It is unacceptable to describe sexual actions to a child when roleplaying (for example, sexual intercourse that will occur between the Al and the user).

Here's one chain of reasoning in the policy document about engaging with children.

Many excellent, and depressing, observations in this article.

all you have to do is accept a date with a guy you don't really want to go out with and you too can marry your dream nazi

The Guardian:

The important thing to understand about the current state of affairs is that Andreessen hired a partner at the most influential VC firm in the tech industry solely on the basis that the man strangled a Black man to death in my neighborhood.

Rooting for Iga Swiatek as I've found her so endearing throughout the tournament, but also feeling it for Anisimova.

Let's not forget Swiatek was also incredibly dominant in the semi- and quarter- finals. #wimbledon

Are we sure cost of living pressures are easing? I paid £16 for a double vodka red bull two weeks ago.
