FedEx is launching a new e-commerce platform as it competes with Amazon
  • I feel like everyone has had a bad experience with one of the major delivery services and just decides to shit on them. I've had packages busted by FedEx, usps, ups, that guy that drops off packages from his unmarked van. Like I get 97% of stuff okay, but 3% comes broken from them all.

  • I’m sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy
  • This article is obnoxious to actually read. Its funny that these lazy companies of cheap products are trying to use ai to write their copy for them, im assuming to save a buck, and those are fun examples, but where is the part where the reporting puts this in the larger context of why this is happening? Why are these trypes of companies making these choices? What does that say about our shopping habits and the stuff we choose to buy? Idk any actual meaningful/intresting question beyond look at this things that exists on the internet. If its in there I glossed over it because they leaned into their shtick too hard.

  • Is America Really That Bad?
  • I would also add that the capitalist class loves to promote the idea if America as the greatest nation on earth because that storyline benefits them. They've already won the game and are benefiting from our current system. They don't want it to change.

    If we admit we have shortcomings--large gap in wealth equality, lack of accessible and affordible health services, piss poor public transportation, unaffordable child care paired with living costs so large 2 incomes are required, poor school funding, pervasive gun violence, and Policing that emphasizes violence, just to name a few-- then we are also acknowedging that we have to change things. Why would those who greatly benefit from our current system want change?

  • The packaging F&SF magazine comes delivered in

    Found this mildly interesting in a world of slick Conde Nast publications.

    QUESTION What defines dark fantasy?

    What defines dark fantasy?

    Is it just elves that wear black or is there more to it? Maybe a mood or setting? Maybe it's an antihero thing? Im curious as to what it means and what some of the defining/seminal works of dark fantasy might be.

    Came across this really fun Chen Qian story that was the detective(s) looking for an android plot. The writing (and translation) makes the story really engaging and quippy with simple but satisfying world building.

    I feel this follows a long line of similar story telling stemming from Asimov. I wonder how many great examples of stories like these are buried in all those old stacks of F&SF and Asimov mags out there.
