Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room.

I think I may want to be her.

Bingeing Season I of The Diplomat and Keri Russell’s rage at her husband behind a tree in the Estate’s grounds is 🤌🏻.

If you want to earn a decent living, yes. The same mugs in inner Melbourne are half the price. This country town is seriously gentrified. Multi million dollar homes (weekend escapes), gin bars, spa retreats. So I think the mugs are priced for the market, which includes tourists.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

I badly want one of these.

I’m in a homewares store in a country town where four handmade coffee mugs will set you back $300.

It felt as if one’s entire world was one, long Sunday afternoon.
Nothing to do. Nowhere to go.

A shout out to the carers on #WorldMentalHealthDay whose generosity far outweighs the recognition they receive. I think you’re amazing.

“I make myself available to thought, in the knowledge that my daily quota of words, insights, and images will come to me unbidden, born of dreams, of a walk in the woods, of a conversation with a friend, of a book I am reading, or in the course of cooking a meal ..” ~ Michael Jackson, Anthropologist

Interviewer: Suppose your house were on fire and you could remove only one thing. What would you take?

Jean Cocteau: I would take the fire.

A woman told me today that social media ruined her marriage as if it were some kind of tangible being she’d caught in bed with her husband.

The teen has suggested that there’s little difference between sitting in a café watching people walk by and looking at people’s social media accounts. Walking down the street and posting publicly online are both social feeds.

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.
