every time I see the phrase "Butlerian Jihad" I think of Judith Butler on the rampage & I don't actually want to look it up to get what it actually means because I enjoy the image of Judith Butler on the rampage so much

"It's like working with a very junior programmer that never learns and never gets better" is the best analogy I've heard from a senior programmer when trying to use LLMs for game development. There isn't any intent or learning from experience.

I’m deep into a Book of the New Sun obsession but I’ve read the whole series now. Anyone have any recommendations for something to follow it up? Or should I go into Long Sun/Short Sun?

Justine McCarthy: Ireland celebrates Hamnet and Jessie Buckley’s success. It should feel shame Separating refugee parents and their children betrays the family values of the film and of our constitution

β€œFamily reunification accounts for little more than 1% of migration into Ireland. Telling people granted refugee status to wait three years – until their children no longer recognise them – is not the stance of a country that professes to cherish the family unit.”

Many people think immigration happening on larger scale than is really the case The report by the ESRI found that many people overestimated the proportion of people in Ireland who were born in another country.

"People guessed around 43.8% of people born outside of Ireland were availing of social housing compared to the real figure of 6.1%."

Literary allusion is an important part of craft. Regardless of what certain terminally online morons like to say, it makes you a better writer to read and to read broadly. DO read trash and pulps. And also read Proust. And also read Fanon. And also read Gao Xingjian. And also read Gorodischer.

How long do you think it’ll be before Maduro’s abduction is used for a Call of Duty campaign mission? I’m guessing either the next Modern Warfare or the next Black Ops.

Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

There is nothing that drives me more insane than toothless statements containing the words "international law...must be respected"

They're not being respected. So what now?
