This mistake (corrected in the editions I have found) is due to want of an underline: waru "blackfooted wallaby" vs. waṟu "fire". The former has a tap/trilled r while the latter has a retroflex fricative r, similar to English.

I have glossed the full verse Acts 2:3 in Pitjantjatjara below:

Somewhat ironically, this is a problem that both some leftist and populist-rightist movements share: their ideology *requires* them to believe that they are the authentic voice of The People and so they are ideologically constrained from recognizing that their ideas are not, in fact, popular.

For your reassurance, here's the Fallen London AI Transparency Statement and the portion of the Steam page which states that we're making Mandrake by hand.

We don't use generative AI. <3

Civil litigator here with years of experience of business people’s emails to each other in disclosed evidence for disputes.

As a general rule: the senior the business person, the less effort they put into emails, and the more effort expected from those reading them.

Effectively a mark of rank.

"Do you think your Catholic upbringing has had an enduring impact on your beliefs?"

"Oh as bisexual, atheist, British unionist I think I've escaped their influ..."

"What about guitars in church?"

"The Power of Christ compels you! The Power of Christ compels you!"

The murders will continue until morale improves.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

Perhaps we'll see the fascists graduate from "we don't respect gun rights, actually" to "government officials shouldn't be quoting scripture, actually"

went to this underground bar this evening and ordered a glass of champagne and also a devilled egg, and I felt unbelievably refined until my friend took note of the whole scene and went "oh, welcome back Winston Churchill"

9-9-6 was a Chinese term invented mostly to show how depressing and lifeless work culture was; watching softbrained AI guys adopt it as an ideal is ... well, entirely predictable

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Good for him. Good for him. Good for. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good for. For. For. For him. Him. Him. Good him. Good him. Good for him.

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."

That's a death threat.

If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

Residents of Greenland must be thrilled, dreaming of becoming part of a country where masked police shoot you.

"I stole thousands of people's work in order to create the Regurgitron!"
"OK, and what's it for? What use it is to me?"
"Jeez, you work that out, do I have to do everything round here myself?!"

Yeah, from what I'm hearing from people actually at Ubisoft studios... nobody is happy with the news except for the bosses, who are experiencing the same mass delusion as every other CEO who thinks that AI will finally rid them of these meddlesome 'employees'.

Shame on you for not including the best Reddit reply I have read in a year.

@666AF • 11d ago Some woman on a later panel-who could've been swapped out with any of the others we've seen so far, except for Moon who i find to be funny- 'Men have a very narrow view of what they find beautiful in a woman! Right... because women don't? Men go for all kinds of women-different bodies, faces, styles. Meanwhile, the reality is the exact opposite: these insincere people sit in a room full of guys and spout nothing but lies to flatter them, while most women clearly prefer the same narrow type-lean, muscular, with a chiseled jaw. That's the real rigid standard. Give me a break. I wouldn't even care, but it feels like Zitron just keeps inviting these weirdo ultra-feminist caricatures. Know your audience, bro.

Ed @edzitron5848 • 3 min ago Hi! Stop listening to my show, I don't want you as a listener, you are not my audience, you never have been and never will be.

It’s always important to go and talk to your listeners

Der Faschismus ist auf dem Vormarsch, in den USA bereits und bei uns auch bedrohlich stark, die Klimakrise braucht Lösungen am besten vor zwanzig Jahren, Putin überfällt weiter die Ukraine, die Ungleichheit wird immer größer und unsere Regierung spricht über Arbeitslose und Kranke als Probleme.

From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

"Wenn man die Lage Polens auf dem Globus anschaut, sind die vom Deutschen Reich gestellten Fragen übrigens nachvollziehbar."

Was für ein wahnsinnig gefährlicher Trottel!

The reason the UK knew the operational parameters of the Argentine aircraft and missile systems was because they were French.

And the moment the war kicked off, the French government quietly slipped us the full specifications.

German foreign minister Wadephul (CDU) living in what I can only describe as delulu land: “There is absolutely no doubt that the United States of America is fully committed to the alliance, to NATO, and also to the defense of Europe. No one in Washington has ever questioned that."

2024: can Europe defend itself ALONGSIDE America?

2025: can Europe defend itself WITHOUT America?

2026: can Europe defend itself AGAINST America?

This last point is likely correct. Covid lockdowns showed that pretty much everyone in the world is better able to put up with disruption than Americans.

Wow, sure would be pretty crazy if a ton of experts in the artificial intelligence field relentlessly warned everyone about this state of affairs being inevitable over and over for years.
