my cat likes to sit in the open window, but it's windy and every time she gets blasted with a strong gust, she jumps down and yowls at me like I am failing to protect her

I'm sure the reporters who actually cover tech and climate at the WaPo made it clear that posting an AI tool for readers to use to read their climate reporting would look stupid to everyone capable of using it and some dipshit in a tie said "too bad, I'm putting it in my annual self-evaluation"

I reviewed Dandelion for Slant. It's about a musician finding her voice, but it doesn't trust its own imagery to do the talking. But it IS a step up from Holler, which didn't hit me at all for similar reasons despite my familiarity with the Ohio area where it takes place.

it's interesting that this didn't go in the supernatural direction I was expecting. a lot of religious horror validates these beliefs in a roundabout way, but there's something to be said for how much impact you get when it's all just... nothing
