Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

Left can't resist being on wrong side of a war
Whether it's Jeremy Corbyn or Zack Polanski, their foreign policy stances terrify voters outside core supporters

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

Whatever was going on, there was nothing I could do about it now, and that just made me more furious. So I watched five minutes of episode 174 of Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon. Did that work? No, no, it didn’t.

Ugh (positive), when I first laid eyes on this, my jaw DROPPED. I love when the standard covers make me have to choose which cover I want on my shelf. (Spoilers: it will be both, but DANG)

Inside the Pro-Israel Campaign to Stop β€˜The Voice of Hind Rajab’ From Winning an Oscar A group led by top Hollywood executives and linked to the Israeli government is trying to smear a film about a little girl killed by Israeli forces.

NEW: A group of Hollywood execs are running a smear campaign against "The Voice of Hind Rajab" to stop it from winning an Oscar.

The group has ties to the Israeli government & received support from foundations of Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik & Casey Wasserman (both featured in the Epstein Files).

That’s the Easton press edition.
There was the original Doubleday hardcover, and a simultaneous SF Book club edition, same trim size and plates.
There was UK HARDCOVER from the following year.
And a Gregg Press hardcover reprint from the 70s.
My Easton is an early 80s edition, I believe.

1 Grandfather was disable construction-worker-turned house-husband. Other was peddler who drove around the country selling random goods from street corners & parking lotsβ€” this was after he did time in Leavenworth for assaulting an officer in Korea. Great-grandfather was alcoholic longshoreman.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

"Always, always, always, concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. [People get] rounded up because whoever's in power wants to do something that they can't do using the letter of the law. And anytime you create or expand that kind of detention … things always get worse."

Science fiction taught me that being smart and creative was valuable.
Fantasy taught me that monsters can be defeated by both champions and brave common folk.
Roleplaying games taught me I could make friends.
