Seeing the diminishment and erasure of the legacy of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series occur in my actual lifetime is mind-boggling.
You’ve got people out here making youtube videos about the legacy of dragons and dragonriding in fantasy fiction without talking about the dragonriding Grand Master of SFF herself Anne McCaffrey.
This isn’t some obscure thing where I’m trying to promote someone who is only kind of known because of forgotten representation. Anne McCaffrey was A HOUSEHOLD NAME when I was a kid when it comes to fantasy literature. She’s the first woman to win a Hugo and to win a Nebula. In 2002 there was a TV pilot filmed for Dragonriders of Pern.
Eragon, Temeraire, Toothless, and the dragons of Fourth Wing exist because these people grew up on the blueprint set by the Pern novels. Talking about dragons and not mentioning Pern is like talking about Orcs and not mentioning Lord of the Rings.
Y'all need to read your fucking classics before you go talking like an authority on a topic. Jesus Christ.

If you were thinking: what could Trump do to push his approval rating down even further and open up the possibility of a 1964/1980/2008 style victory for Dems in 2028? The answer is: put Stephen Miller in charge of everything. And guess what?

man, the funniest thing about "now is not the time for revenge" is that revenge is probably the lowest common denominator in the big tent. like it'll be real work to get the libs and socialists to agree on affordability policies.
everyone's cool with revenge, though

ai killing lots of people is indeed a valid concern, but imo it’s less to do with ai’s abilities and more to do with its inabilities.
that is, ai wont kill as a hyper-intelligent murder machine but rather as an incompetent “decision assistant” in fields like health or military target assessment
