For the last 2 years, for WIRED, I've been on the trail of the Zizians, gifted young people who set out to save the world and ended up enveloped in violence and death. You may have seen headlines about them. This is their story, based on years of reporting in real time: www.wired.com/story/deliri...

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”

I think McCormick was literally told "you can replace all those CDC employees with AI, probably," and he was like, "seems legit, I believe this because I am a Doctor" This whole town hall is like Fridge Horror but for politics

Heteronormativity is easy to understand. There are men, who are people, women, which is a kind of treasure you can fuck, faggots, which are a kind of knock-off woman you don't have to treasure, and anything which doesn't fit is a queer, which you should fix or kill.

can't wait to play civ 7 like i play all the other civ games: exclusively play vanilla because expansion packs seem weird, play exactly the same style with the same civ for 1000 hours over the next decade, mostly ignore entire key game mechanics, and consequently never actually get very good at it
