I'd recommend One Battle After Another. It's my favorite of the films I've seen from 2025 so far.
I've only read _The Crying of Lot 49_ and _Vineland_ by Pynchon. I need to give _Gravity's Rainbow_ a go again sometime.
Have you seen _One Battle After Another_? I didn't realize it was loosely based on _Vineland_ until it came up in the credits.
Tonight on D&D in order to crack a code we had to play Six Degrees of Wikipedia and as a group we needed to get from the page "Listed buildings in Lichfield" to the page Spelljammer 5e by clicking as few links as possible and somehow we managed to do it in 4 clicks?????

Specifically on this point of next-token prediction, as someone whoβs studied this with eye-tracking, people are *not* next-token readers. They skim text. Eyes saccade. Even 1970s AI folks knew this, and old reading systems like DeJongβs FRUMP explored much more plausible mechanisms of reading.
I find it frustrating that the left has been characterized as more prone to scolding when the rightβs entire culture is built on an openly insidious kind of scolding

But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said. There wasnβt much he could say to his son, βexcept hug him and tell him everything would be OK,β Conejo said. Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears.
Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change. "He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. βI would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.β
