a man in a superman costume is standing with his hands on his hips and a cape . Alt: Superman (2025) GIF. Clark Kent is dropping folders and then turns into Superman.

I can see why Faux News and MAGA don't like the new Superman. It has a main character that cares about other people and animals, listens to the advice of women and POC and works at an organization that cares about journalistic integrity. That's woke in the year 2025 to these people.

That Formula 1 movie is pretty arrogant to assume there'll be a sequel.

Today I deleted my linkedin account.
I am still looking for a job, but it was doing absolutely nothing for me, and I have hated it like the plague since I was first told to start using it back in 2008.

Yes, it was written in AMOS.
Just a simple word parser, where you wrote a sentence, it stored each word with a reference to which words came before and after and if it started or ended a sentence.
Then NIALL would write something random back, only using the words and rules it had stored.

I would love to see someone go from N.I.A.L.L. (NonIntelligent Amos Language Learner) on the Amiga computer, to the current LLMs (Large Language Models).

Sometimes it feels like I am the only one who still remembers N.I.A.L.L.

Thanks man! I did not know about abebooks. I just ordered 19 books from there - all Terry Pratchett, all from Doubleday, not all Discworld. :)

They got saved in the 11th hour. I expect them to go under for good within two years.

Anyone know where I can see which #Discworld books #Doubleday published as hardbacks?
I have a few of them and I really like them, and I would like them all. Please and thank you.

Also - where would I go to find them? I might take a trip to the UK some day, just to get my #Pratchett fix.

I have so far only read Seveneves, but I do plan to read some more.
I have not come across Sheri S. Tepper. Must investigate further.
Thanks for the heads up

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.
