I truly don’t know what’s triggered it, but this phrase from Tacitus keeps coming to mind today:

“They make a desolation and they call it peace”.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

1/Sobre el supuesto "riesgo inminente de apagón". Estamos asistiendo a la proliferación de desinformación y bulos como pasó después del apagón. Prudencia todo el mundo, los hechos son estos:
Empecemos por el principio: el apagón se originó por un problema de sobretensión como han certificado todos..

Things that may mean you’re either very rich or very poor:

- To own a horse
- To have a family member in prison
- To have many children
- To own an old car
- That not just anyone can enter your neighborhood
- Ripped/Torn clothes
- Intermittent fasting

Is it #Arachtober? I was just wondering if I’d see any big orb web weavers, Fall has been a good opportunity. This big, possibly gravid, Banded Garden spider is tending to its web. A print of one of these photos will go up on the office door at work for #Halloween 🎃 🕷️ #arachnids

The backside view of a large banded garden spider that made a web in our yard.

Absolutamente de acuerdo, pero pervive ese desdén hacia el comic como algo menor, trivial. Y eso que Moore y Spiegelman y otros han asestado unos garrotazos tremendos a las patatas de la gente que se ha leído sus obras.

El pelo de una ortiga forzando los límites de mi equipo macro. La longitud del pelo podría ser de un par de milímetros.

Esa pequeña ampolla que se ve en la punta tiene la función de romperse por contacto y liberar las sustancias que dan tanto gusto cuando rozas una ortiga.

Yo lo digo todos los años en serio, pero lo digo en broma. No se lo darán jamás, el comic todavía es un "arte menor".
