Unreliable narrators are one hell of an idea. You can just write whatever, and if a reader points out "hey the way this scene happened should not be physically possible if it's done the way this character described it", you can just be like "yeah I don't trust that fucker either."

it's fascinating how many ai art discussions enter this weird loop where someone goes 'it uses too much energy!' and people rightly point out the amount of energy it uses is comparable with many other recreational uses of a computer nobody objects to on environmental grounds so then someone else says 'you can't compare it to playing videogames, it's bad because it's plagiarism!' so you go into an extended argument about fair use and how expanding copyright to cover the sort of things that happen in AI training would be pretty fucking terrible for anyone who cares about freedom to make derivative works, so then someone else says 'I don't care about the plagiarism, it's killing the planet!'...

My son said he and his friend were “speed-running Wikipedia,” a game in which you pick two very disparate topics (i.e. the game Elden Ring and the NY City Subway Bombing) and try to be the first to get from one to the other solely via links on Wikipedia pages. Sounds both joyously educational and extremely chaotic.

Was drunk and bored and getting annoyed at the ridiculous coverage of the US election so I decided to fix the place.

I'm from Australia where we only have 7 states, as such I have the (objectively correct) opinion that 50 is too many states, so I decided to cut it down to 10.

A few notes on my improved US map:

•Despite Illinois making the cut, Chicago is now in Michigan, due to the state getting the entire bank of its namesake.

•Boston is also in Michigan due to special exception.

•New York is now the capital of Pensylvania

•Yes that's how you spell Pensylvania

•The border of California is just roughly the Rockies, no need to overthink it.

•Making Florida bigger actually dilutes it's power, but Texas must be abolished

•Colorado should still be a rectangle, that's my mistake, I just couldn't be bothered fixing it.

•Alaska has been returned to Canada with a hand written apology

•All the random ass islands that the US forgot to pretend they didn't colonise have gained independence

Please let me know if there are any more improvements you can think of.

Edit: As a number of you have mentioned, Alaska never belonged to Canada, and giving it to them would be incredibly wrong when the native people have been trying to gain independence all this time.

Luckily, the apology note got lost in the mail in all the turmoil, so Canada never realised they're meant to have Alaska now. The Alaskans just start quietly self-governing and hoping the US and Canada don't notice, then after a few years they declare independence.

I really wonder if trauma theorists who say things like "Humans are the only animal that will be in a fright state when physically safe" or "the rest of the animal kingdom doesn't get PTSD" have ever, like

Do you think they've actually ever met an animal?
