Precisely. It's the contentification of literature/language. As if it's a solid object to be digested, and no matter what it is, all of it turns to shit at the end, so who cares how it gets done.

Books/language/words aren't food. It's not bookmaxxing. It's intellection in concert w/ imagination.

Also, if THE GREAT GATSBY is "hard" for you--you have much bigger problems than trying to choke down some watered down pablum. "Oh, I need everything pre-chewed, mommy. Can you fluff my pillow, daddy?" Jesus Hopscotching Christ.

If you're not using yr brain, at least donate it to science.

Moreover, you might as well NOT READ THE ACTUAL BOOK, b/c whatever you're doing by using AI to "read/skim/corrupt/melt" the book ISN'T ACTUAL READING OF THE BOOK UNDER ASSIGNMENT. You're doing something else at that point. So, again: Either a) read the actual book or b) get high & fuck off. FUCK AI.

Seems to be the case, yes.

If you use anything like this, here's a suggestion from an English prof.--just don't read the fucking book. Don't do anything. I'd rather a legit slacker in class who's high, sleeps, or makes occasional bon mots. I'd rather have a true scumbum, know-nothing rather than whatever the fuck this is.

Worldbuilding in SFF is like a magician's trick. The audience knows it's not real, but enjoys the illusion.

Exhaustively detailing everything in the world is like trying to really saw your assistant in half: Counterproductive for the desired effect.

IOW, using ChatGPT makes you stupid

"This suggests that unrestricted ChatGPT use impaired long-term retention, likely by reducing the cognitive effort that supports durable memory."

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’

‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’

‘Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

ME TOO!

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

You and me both. Maybe one day, Sasha...one day...

The goal is to sell enough books to convince a publisher to take my book about Horatio being haunted by prince Hamlet's ghost after the play.

I've often said that it's the best thing I've ever written. I stand by that. But the law of the universe means that it will likely never be read. :(

For those of you who may read and like THE SHIP OF DEATH, and like the character of Tess (the psychic), then I should mention that she has a rather large starring role in TONE-BONE, and appears, albeit briefly, in THE NOTHING THAT IS. So definitely check those out.

TSoD is on NetGalley!

'Henry IV part 1' cover image of Falstaff by David Gentleman

I like this image of Falstaff carting around a giant sausage for the walk home after the pub shuts.

Holy shit. every book here looks absolutely intriguing!

Usually it’s pretty easy to go ‘oh this will be in the next Adam Curtis film’ but this one’s for Sofia Coppola

Screenshot of four different jobs from the NY Mag feature about what people make in NYC: "Home Health Aide $23,000 I've been a home health aide for ten years. My main patient last year was in Brooklyn. I spent most of my time taking care of her. I worked two days a week, and I was being paid for 13 hours of work each day - my agency, Loyal Home Care, budgets eight hours of sleep and three hours for mealtimes into our wages. But I was basically working 24 hours a day. She was active, and I was worried she would fall, so I would watch her all day and night. This is a pretty common experience for health aides. The agency can deny our overtime, but you can't deny a patient. When they say, "Oh, I need a drink of water; I need to use the bathroom," how could you possibly say "no" to them? Bronx Day-Care Worker $31,000 $16,600 from day-care profits $14,400 from trainings and consulting Last year, I lost a lot of kids. I live in the Bronx, and a bunch of families in my neighborhood lost their child-care vouchers. We're talking about people who make as much as I do; most of the moms I work with are home health aides. They can't afford full-time child care. If I have 16 kids, I can pay myself for 40 hours of work. But last year, I didn't, and obviously I'm still doing the same amount of work. I've been running the day care out of my home for more than seven years. It's a profession I entered out of necessity and have stayed in out of passion. I pay for everything - food, cleaning supplies, toys - and we have to meet the same requirements as a large company in terms of paying for liability insurance, which can feel pointless in this industry. I mean, if something happens to one of my children, I lose my license. End of story."

It's all so clear

when you start planning a new novel the most important thing is how many lesbians you're gonna put in there. triples is safe, triples is best, but more really can't hurt

I’ve written for a lot of different companies in my career, and someday soon they’ll all be the same company.

man that’s crazy that the US missile did that of its own accord

Haha! You’re welcome.

We might end up having to charge them for an additional murder because "Dudes, you killed that dude" is absolutely killing me.

This is as incomprehensible to me as someone declaring they prefer food prepared with a knife over food prepared with a whisk
