There’s this cognitive error that comes from growing up with a default narrative of redemptive violence. When I see a fight, I reflexively think of it as the good guys vs the bad guys & have to remind myself that the two sides fighting aren’t necessarily the two sides I should care about.

I always tell up-and-coming novelists to use Locus to make sure they're up on the latest SFF news -- deals and deliveries, which agents are worth your time, forthcoming blockbusters, etc. Essential for writers and anyone else who needs to know. Check out their fundraiser and donate if you can!

There’s a level at which I find the major petrostates looking to pivot to a non-oil economy kind of heartening.

Yes, yes, yes, via @adamserwer.bsky.social: The Trump administration always has the option of bringing Abrego Garcia back and trying him for removal through lawful channels. That they refuse to do this shows they have no serious case against him. Read: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’m trying to find a phrase to describe an important phenomenon: When we fix a problem, we forget it. Pop culture forgets, and the mass media forgets, and young people never learn about the problem or how it was solved. Can you help suggest a name for this phenomenon? Read more here:

Anyone using AI for anything should start by asking themselves two questions: 1) How often does the llm deliver inaccurate information? 2) How would it affect my business for these processes to be unreliable?

This is fantastic news, and for screenwriters and directors of a certain age a bitter reminder of the omnipresent “foreign sales guy” at every studio who nixes every movie with a lead of color because “they never sell overseas and they can’t make it up domestically.”

President Trump’s approval ratings on immigration, relatively strong in the early weeks of his second term, have dipped into negative territory, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll, a sign that his administration’s hard-line enforcement tactics are losing public support.

Thinking about the career of Sen Durbin has me thinking about a larger issue: how politics has, during my adult lifetime, become a form of show business. Which is not much of an insight, of course. But we don’t talk enough about what it really is, or, should be.
