Me, lecturing: "What's the best LDC microphone ever made by Neumann?"

Students, in unison: "SIX-SEVEN!"

Me, proudly: "Very good, class. I'm glad you've kept up on your reading. Indeed, the Neumann u67 is the finest LDC they made."

We're here for you, Mr. Speaker.

For your own well being you should step down, leave behind all of those press questions you know nothing about, avoid public life, and fade into obscurity.

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.

Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.

So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

I'm interested in improving our family gravy recipe. I'm taking an idea from Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: adding some acid to the gravy.

Context: gravy goes on turkey, mashed potatoes & dressing. It's key for the turkey because I don't brine or otherwise attempt to salt the meat in the cooking process.

In the throws are Margaret Thatcher's economic policies, XTC offered words that feel relevant today:

I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us

Do I have to become a Linux dude to avoid LLMs enshittifying everything?
a) this fucking sucks, wtf Apple?

b) anybody got the link avail, the one about how to remove this?
Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)
