my writing seminar: "Well, what you gotta do is, like, figure out what you're trying to do and then sort of do that, unless your deal is not knowing what you're trying to do and getting there by doing that, which is different, but you can do that, or you can just sit with the idea a while"

Took the day off and drove to Des Moines to pick up the new #MountainGoats record from ZZZ Records in Des Moines, then headed back to pick up my kid from an early dismissal. These are snapshots of the soundtrack.

The Kremlin-drafted plan is illegal. You've done nothing, your tweet is about nothing. Thank you for wasting our time.

Citadel reverberates to a thousand voices, now dumb:
what have we become? What have we chosen to be?
Now, all history is reduced to the syllables of our name -
nothing can ever be the same. Now the Immortals are here.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

I wish Del Toro’s Frankenstein was a more comprehensive look at the monster’s life. They never cover when he met Abbott and Costello, for example.

Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL
The boyfriend of a friend of my son's has spent several weeks in a psych ward due to Chat GPT induced psychosis. He isn't suicidal but AI encouraged him down a toxic and paranoid wormhole until he became completely delusional. Evil stuff.
1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.
