Lindsey Ellis' latest video is about fantasy/ romance and this book gets more than a couple mentions.

I will never vote for Newsom. I don't care if the election is close. I don't care if he's the lesser evil. Don't talk to me about vulnerable people, because if that was a priority, then Newsom will not be the nominee.
If liberals can ignore our voices, they can manage without our votes.
I read that if the AMOC fails, Western Europe will be like central Siberia. That is to say -30 in the winter, and 40 in the summer.
Windows11 sucks so bad. I was so excited to learn that Explorer and Notepad were getting tabs & Paint was getting layers. Only to find out that these core features weren't being updated for users, but in the process of adding slop to the OS. Explorer was the worst, my address bar became an ad. And everything was buggy and broken.
And I know this isn't just the Linux fanboy line because Microslop themselves had to apologize and walk-back some of the Copilot obnoxiousness.
The reason you're supposed to allow refuges to enter while their case is being decided is because of the "Voyage of the Dammed", a ship full of Jews fleeing the holocaust that were denied entry in Cuba, the US, and Canada.
They were eventually allowed entry into England, France, and the Netherlands, the latter two of which were occupied by Germany shortly afterward.

One positive of AI is that the ownership class is getting a lesson in just how complex, flexible, reliable, and capable "unskilled" workers are. You can watch them realize in real time that a model capable of running a dinner-rush drive-thru would be a trillion dollar quantum leap.
There was a nurse in a fertility clinic who was an addict and replaced the fentanyl drip with saline. Multiple women experienced agony during the procedure for extracting eggs. That procedure was to insert a huge syringe into the vagina, through the vagina wall, into the ovaries to suck up some eggs.
Many women experienced this with no pain medication at all and their complaints, even their screams were dismissed. Needless to say, when the addict nurse was discovered, they felt pretty silly.
Doctors have incredible tolerance for the suffering of women.
The no1 reason to self-build is to save money. Obviously, this thing isn't going to appeal to that crowd. For a pre-built, this price isn't crazy. And the performance is fine for 1080p/1440p gaming.
So if you're the kind of person who knows the GPU nomenclature by heart, you probably won't buy this, but I still expect the thing to sell-out by virtue of being Valve.
I'm rooting for Valve's success because that means wider Linux adoption.
Tucker Carlson's job is to get his name in the press. He used to be a somebody, now he says things on podcasts you've never heard of to get attention. The real question is: what is MTG doing this week?
Ever notice how the countries who are the most pro-Israel are the same countries that restricted Jewish immigration during the holocaust? We never talk about how Jewish immigration to Palestine means they're not immigrants to England or the US.

This is the whole point of Steam OS. It's not embarrassing for Valve. The only reason this doesn't already happen with Play Station and Xbox is because its illegal.
Every SteamOS install is a finger in the eye of Sony and Microslop and I'm here for it.
