Seven months done reading one short story/poem a day! Eight begins! Day 213! I read Blue Moon by Chelsea Lane Campbell and Split by Joy Yin published in @gonelawn.bsky.social. A double bill of aborted space exploration to kick off. Read my review here: mickstaniforth.wordpress.com/2026/08/01/s...

Dax, sapphic fantasy authorBreaking my mental health hiatus to let yall know that an AI slop farm wants to know authors' opinions on AI. Do with this what you will. I will see you all next month. 💜 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
This is just hate. That's all it is. Everyone involved with this documentary should be ashamed.
Scott BryanChannel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”

Al Jazeera EnglishThe 'singularity' refers to the point at which AI outpaces human intelligence and becomes difficult to control.

It's not like I had any hope in Burnham being any better than Starmer, but now I have negative hope. I have despair.

This is horrific, deeply embarrassing, and a perfect example of why I quit academia. Find better leaders science, it's 'thinking' like this that is destroying the academy.
Holden ThorpHi, this is Holden emerging from my Bluesky hiatus to tell everyone that when checking the links in the piece, I used ChatGPT as my search engine (does anyone use Google anymore?). The piece was written by me and edited by humans. So all the links were checked by me and again by our copyeditors.
