I am very proud of the book trailer I made. I did the filming, the editing, and even made music for it. Am I good at those things? No. But each time I do them, I learn more and that's really cool. Which is one reason why I hate AI. I wish the joy of creating and learning for everyone.

Actual Soviet poster about achieving the five-year plan in four years, just in case anyone wanted to know the origins of that famous example in Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Every single poet just wants to write one poem so dangerous it could blow up the entire world. But we’d never actually do it because we’re total sweethearts.

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

Under current law, Illinois prosecutors can file objections to people seeking name changes who have any previous convictions, from felonies to low-level misdemeanors. The policy can create major barriers for trans people with criminal records.
In Illinois, Trans People With Criminal Records Still Face Hurdles to Changing Their Names
Even after years of reforms to state law governing name changes, prosecutors can still object when trans people have charges or prior convictions.
