i was getting tattooed today and my artist and his studiomate were discussing the fallout show and i was like i have not seen it but i know the hot goop guy and they were like oh yeah him. no nose guy. and i was like yeah. and my artist goes so is voldemort hot too? and the studiomate says he DOES lack a nose and i was like no. no it’s not the nose thing it’s—but i was actively being poked continuously with a needle in my side and couldn’t focus and finally went ok you need to stop that for a minute so i can explain my passions

#galling that for a minute today 2 relative strangers thought i thought voldemort was hot #can you IMAGINE #more information about penguins than i care to have

Watching Life on Mars for the millionth time, and yet again thinking about how funny a crossover episode with Endeavour would be.

Both 1970’s set police shows. Incredibly different universes.

"But Weber’s argument was carefully grounded in history. Price controls, she argued, had been an essential element of the U.S. mobilization strategy during the Second World War. And there were several striking similarities between the economy of the nineteen-forties and that of the present day, including very high consumer demand for goods, record corporate profits, and production bottlenecks in important areas. Back then, the Office of Price Administration simply prohibited companies from raising prices above certain levels. Violators could be sued, or worse. In 1944, Montgomery Ward, the department-store chain, refused to accept the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement—a cap on the price of labor—brokered by the government. President Roosevelt ordered the National Guard to seize the business and remove Sewell Avery, its chairman, from its headquarters." (source)

GOJO SATORU singing daddys home when YOU come home. bc fuck him being daddy, youre his daddy wtf. the moment he hears that front door open, hes belting out the song from whatever part of the house hes in. if hes in the shower (and miraculously hears you come in-) hes singing in the shower about how, "AND IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR LOVING ALL DAY, DADDYS HOME" cuz he will in fact change the lyrics. if hes in the kitchen, he waltzes out with a cheesy ass apron that says "kiss the chef" (<- jus barfed in my mouth hes so fucking annoying) and singing into the spoon he was using to stir dinner, "I KNOW MY DADDYS HOME, HOME FOR MEEE"

sometimes he hums it before bed, but then the humming eventually turns into singing, which then transitions to borderline belting. he would be cuddling into your side when he starts humming but as he gets louder singing, he starts physically shaking you. him serenading you to such a cheesy song is really funny, though, and to an extent endearing. but you just wish he'd quiet down at least a LITTLE bit. atp the neighbors prolly think usher himself is locked in ur basement

Just thinking about how this was the last time the angel was in heaven. How this is how they treated him, and yet,

his response was to openly rebel and desert,

in front of a whole platoon of angels,

refuse to compromise on what he wanted to do instead,

equivocate the power of angels and demons,

and stubbornly yeet himself back down to earth without anything except trust in himself to figure things out.

I'm very curious to see what'll happen the next time he's up there.

#This scene is such a great one for Aziraphale #if a hard one for him personally #can you imagine #all those years after the failed armageddon this is what he carried as the possible last time ever he would've been in heaven #v watches good omens #good omens 1 #aziraphale

a point about the IA situation that I cannot make on twitter without death threats

Like many authors, I have complicated feelings about the IA lawsuit. IA has a whole raft of incredibly invaluable services, that's not in dispute. The current eBook licensing structure is also clearly not sustainable. Neither was IA's National Emergency Library, which was unrestricted lending of unlicensed digital copies. There are some thoughtful posts about how their argument to authors, "you'll be paid in exposure," is not especially compelling.

But I'm not here to discuss that; I'm here to talk about the licensing. TL;DR I don't want my work being fed into an AI or put on the blockchain, and to enforce that, you need a license.

So, here's the thing. IA's argument for the NEL boils down to "if we possess a physical copy of the book we should be able to do what we want" and that's frankly unserious. (Compare: Crypto Bros who thought spending $3 million on a single copy of a Dune artbook meant they owned the copyright.) Their claim is that by scanning a physical copy of the book and compiling the scans into a digital edition, that is sufficiently transformative to be considered fair use.

What that gives them is something that functions almost identically to an eBook, without the limitations (or financial obligations) of an eBook license. And I'm sure some of you are thinking, "so what, you lose six cents, get over yourself," but this isn't actually about the money. It's about what they can do with the scans.

A license grants them the right to use the work in specific, limited ways. It also bars them from using it in ways that aren't prescribed.

For example, what if IA decides to expand their current blockchain projects and commit their scanned book collections to the blockchain "for preservation"? Or what if IA decides to let AI scrapers train on the scanned text? One of their archivists sees AI art as a "toy" and "fears [AI art] will be scorned by the industry's gatekeeping types."

Bluntly, an unlicensed, unrestricted collection seems to be what they're gunning for. (Wonky but informative thread from a lawyer with a focus on IP; this cuts to the pertinent part, but the whole thing's good reading.) The Authors Guild is in no way unbiased here, but in the fifth paragraph of this press release, they claim that they offered to help IA work out a licensing agreement back in 2017, and got stonewalled. (They also repeat this claim on Twitter here.)

At the end of the day, I don't want the IA to fold; I don't think anyone does. As a matter of fact, I'd be open to offering them an extremely cheap license for Controlled Digital Lending. (And revamping eBook library licensing while we're at it.) I think there's a lot of opportunity for everyone to win there. But IA needs to recognize that licenses exist for a reason, not just as a cash grab, and authors have the right to say how their work is used, just like any artist.

I just realized the fact that you tell all about your story @ Emet-Selch on Elpis means... You tell him about Zenos too. Yeah you'll have a great-grandson. Yeah he'll be more unhinged than you could ever hope to be. Yeah he kinda killed your God :// and started the apocalypse you were so determined to stop :/// bc he's obsessed with me. Yeah. I know.

Random thoughts. Havers, Anthony, probably bequeathed to bury him next to James, so that they could always be together, even after death

They lie together under some tree, their gravestones are covered with moss and the same roots entwine them
