In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day! Don’t forget to smash your clocks!

We have to keep shoveling all money, labor, water, and the environment into this mulcher so it will one day attain sentience and solve climate change, the first of which is impossible and the latter is a problem we have known the cause of and solution to for over a hundred years

If I didn't love writing, I wouldn't do it.

and once again, for those who don't realize, the nuremberg trials were the moderate position back then too.

i was suddenly reminded that BookOutlet was a thing and that they're having their black friday sale now and i've already filled up a cart with a dozen bargain hardbacks. now i just have to figure out how to justify to myself spending $80 on books when i still have so many gifts to get still.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

as long as we always remember the context behind the quote: supporting the basic human rights and dignity of trans folk

Big day for people who care about other people

Such a relief to wake up to massive Democratic victories / Republican defeats. Was keeping expectations low, but have felt more hopeful ever since the Portland frog was like "eh no big deal" re being teargassed through his blowhole.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant." SAY. THAT. SHIT!

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

It's not like this solves all the problems or whatever, but it's really nice to see. Just run on policies that aren't hateful and actually help working people! Don't suck off the fucking billionaires! Be cool! That's it! That's all the "lessons that need to be learned"!

posted this four months ago but tonight as buckaroos like mamdani sweep elections i will post again. hope this is sign to all establishment goofs that trotting to the center is not the move. protect the buckaroos who are in perilous circumstances and do not give an inch

"Maybe you have a little lingering trauma from last year's elections?" No. Shut up. That's stupid. We have bigger things to worry about. Also, yes.

Just wanted to doodle something sweet #kruegernikto

#Booksky #OctoberReads were spookier than what the reviews give I promise lol. there was just a ton of 4⭐ ratings and only two books that cracked through that ceiling, with Angel Down being an absolute highlight for the month.

“Quiet people have the loudest minds.” — Stephen King

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other. It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

just had an important meeting that opens up a ton of new opportunities for my career, and because i did so well i treated myself to a few book sales 🤩

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

What if I went insane about it? What if I killed for it?

i love you horny horror i love you exploring sexuality and desire through unsettling means i love you sexual repression manifesting as self destruction i love you intimacy transforming into something grostesque yet beautiful i love you finding comfort and love in the monstrous i love y

Food is a human right regardless of who someone voted for and especially regardless of who their PARENTS voted for and a lot of y’all are scaring the shit out of me. I got a lot of the same when I said no one deserves measles, too, and the way this country thirsts for punishment is just very bad!

I have more exciting Southern Reach news soon, btw. I think readers will be very happy.

I mean, yeah

New story by @johnpmurphy.bsky.social in The Sunday Morning Transport: www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/excerpts-f... I enjoyed this so much. I won't spoil it for you by saying more, but just think about it: how can an autobiography be unauthorized?

Apparently it needs to be said: The best (and possibly only) living conditions for humanity are on Earth. Space wants to kill you all the fucking time. You can visit, but not for significant portions of your lifespan. Seriously, look it up. Fix, cherish, and live on Earth. Visit space.

If I may dril for a moment, you absolutely do not have to give Trump “credit” for anything, ever. The saying does not go “even a broken clock hires its own gestapo”

When you get right down to it, there was nothing preventing Trump from tearing down the entire White House complex this week. Let that sink in.

Pile of worn, aged books, formerly attributed to Rembrandt but now the Rijksmuseum says Jan Lievens. And today is his day. So sit down & study!
