Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

The new Google rewrite suggestions are unbelievably bad and stupid 🤦🏼‍♀️

Fellow history nerds, this is such a great thread!

Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.

Grammarly's presentation of something they call Expert Review, including my name (plus Stephen King's, plus Mary Norris's), though to be sure I've never been contacted by Grammarly, much less compensated.

What in the absolute fuck is this.

Petition to do away with author blurbs and replace with dad/mom/grandparent blurbs. How much more fun would the process be??

Took me 30 seconds to email my reps using this easy tool!

What is going on with the spell and grammar check in Gmail all of a sudden?? It just suggested I move end quotes to the wrong sentence and then said "10" was misspelled and I should replace it with... "10". Make it stop.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

This has real “if you prick us, do we not bleed?” vibes in the best possible way.

WORST

Just heard the cat barf, cannot find where she did it. This is the worst kind of surprise!!

This was a great story!

Everything gets a little bit worse every day and the reason is always because billionaires

Get ready for a lot of stuff to happen for “purely financial reasons”

Once when I was at Penguin, we were in a meeting with an idiot executive and she just raised her eyebrows at me as he blithely kept spewing nonsense. It was all I could do to not burst out laughing. She could say a lot without saying a thing.

Ann had a habit of terrifying assistants, so to get her approval or acknowledgment as a young editor was a huge deal.

Oh no! She was an absolute legend. To get her approval or acknowledgement as a young editor was a badge of honor. I can’t believe it.

This happened to me at a writers conference, though it was at the sinks. Let’s just agree the bathroom is off limits for pitching!

Masterful Troll, TCM.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
