@joe-hill.bsky.social I wanted to get in on the King Sorrow ARC love. What an amazing book! This is the fastest I’ve ever read 900 pages. Pacing was incredible, and King Sorrow’s Freddy Krueger-meets-Smaug-with-Robert-Shaw’s-Voice vibe was so fun. Congratulations on such an accomplishment. Wow.

It’s perfectly natural that people should believe Sherlock Holmes is the main character of 56 stories and 4 novels about Sherlock Holmes. But Doyle was always a clever hand when it came to misdirection and of course the best Sherlock Holmes stories are great because they’re really about John Watson.

Not really sure how to share the latest Oliver Burkeman column, "Navigating by Aliveness," which is too bad--his thinking about A.I. is clarifying. And hopeful. And good humored. He's done some of the best writing I've read about how to live well in our bizarre, disorientating moment.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Hawley dismisses Trump lining his pockets with his memecoin: "Listen, I think nobody believes that Donald Trump can be bought. I mean, what does Donald Trump need more money for?"

In a congressional hearing today, RFK, jr, stated: “I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me.” The correct next sentence should’ve been, “For that reason I am today resigning my post as head of Health and Human Services.”

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷‍♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...

I was unprepared for Thunderbolts* to pack such a big emotional wallop. Gillian immediately put her finger on just why it's such an especially good Marvel film. It's *about something*. It's about depression. (teeny 🧵)
