“No Decisions. Only Sploot”

Tried to push myself out of my comfort zone for this one. I like to try to be a style chameleon. Sometimes it works! :)

10 scientific truths that somehow became unpopular in 2025
Scientific truths exist independently of public opinion.
But when we disbelieve them, we embrace misinformation instead, and that harms more than most of us realize.

10 scientific truths that somehow became unpopular in 2025
Scientific truths remain true regardless of belief. These 10, despite contrary claims, remain vitally important as 2025 draws to a close.

This was my instinct with it as well: it's *hard* and it takes a lot of work, but that's because the tools are shitty. Like, you can make great art with limited resources - sometimes it even helps! - but genAI is almost actively working *against* artistry because of the way it's created.
I've spoken with someone who made something similar recently and I don't think the studio are wrong in their description. Think of it closer to a digitally composite animation patched together from an unreliable generator.
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

I really wish we as a society had more educational opportunities for working adults that were purely just for the sake of learning. Evening language classes. How to fix your car courses on weekends. Spaces for learning shouldn't be something that stops in your 20s and maybe picks up post-retirement.

each of us contains the full genetic instructions for both testosterone & estrogen driven hormone loadouts (along with varying combos of both)
this can be changed at any time. our genes will even start expressing themselves differently within ~3-6 months.
this is an existential threat to fascists.

"current hormone loadout"
That legit makes me sound like a cyborg and I freaking dig it.

My colleague points out here that possibly one in seven requests to our library now may be assisted by LLMs.
When those point to fictional documents, that's a huge staff time drain. There's often no quick way to check if an undigitized primary source doc exists beyond physically pulling some boxes.

No one should be offered death in lieu of treatment.
No one should be offered death when they’re asking for help.
It’s coercive even if they have the “right” to say no, because if no other treatments are offered they’re going to experience tremendous suffering.

Something every 2026/28 Dem should commit to is investigations of any company that did deals with Trump. A kind of forward guidance to get companies to think twice in advance of what’s coming.
Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

You should write weird, human stuff as a fuck-you to AI and the awful world we live in, yes, but also because you will be changed and your life will be changed through allowing yourself to be vulnerable and uncomfortable in your art.
