looks like they killed the ghoul tool, dance upon its grave

so let me get this straight: grammarly has an LLM tool that borrows the likeness of a smart person and then puppets that likeness to give you advice that makes your writing sound more like AI. does nobody care about getting sued anymore

journalists who somehow see our profession as separate or somehow apart from the arts and thus unaffected by the same challenges are stupid, myopic, tacky, and dress bad

i never thought I’d say this but even clip art would be better. by god, bring back clip art if it means i don’t have to look at another one of those fucking AI things

this is straight looney tunes

having an intrusive thought and that intrusive thought is listening to counting crows

it’s only monday, man, i can’t be sitting here wrestling with my attraction to yoshi

“I no longer feel welcome in the North of Ireland,” they didn’t kick you out of the country man get over it

I think it’s cool to talk about politics when you travel, it’s how you learn about the world.

we went to Paris in 2016 and a group of older Frenchmen in a restaurant asked us about Trump and American politics. With my cousin translating, they told us about how Marine Le Pen would never win and fascism would never return to France. I think about that convo a lot.
