“YIMBY” sucks because zillionaire developers love to wield it when trying to push through massive corporate projects no real person wants. No useful neighborhood amenities, no affordability carve-out, no harm mitigation strategy? Yes I’m against the plan bc I “hate growth.” 🤬
I would very, very much like for the neologisms/acronyms 'NIMBY' and 'YIMBY' to vanish from the face of the earth, even if the people who earnestly describes themselves as either cannot

Blue in Greene
Marjorie Taylor Greene was more Jefferson Davis than Miles Davis, but now this swinger sounds kind of blue—and not in a silent way. It's 'round about midnight for MAGA, so while Donald bitches, brew a cup of joe and witness the birth of the cool new MTG.

I’m very used to riding a bus. The thing is: I can get *off* a bus if I’m feeling claustrophobic or overstimulated. If someone next to me is manspreading I can stand up or find another seat.
And I do think the air travel experience should be nicer! It has been enshittified profoundly.

Air travel isn't really that unpleasant, you just aren't used to riding a bus and think the experience should somehow be nicer

I saw a headline that was like “How to Make AI Writing Sound More Human” and I almost cried — for a variety of reasons. But tailoring human writing *for* AI is orders of magnitudes more depressing.
I've said in the past that I don't write for skimmers. If you skip past something and get confused, well Mr. Policeman, I gave you all the words.
So I'm certainly not going to write for scrapers and summarizers either 🤷♀️

Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.
As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

OTD 1969 James Brown drags his road-weary band into King Studios in Cincinnati to record. Drummer Clyde Stubblefield bangs out a drum pattern Brown crafts into "Funky Drummer." Minor hit but it forms a foundational beat in Hip-Hop. The bldg remains vacant & standing but King left in 1971.
