oh no I have 30+ notifications here. that is too many, I think. I am just... not gonna check those for a while. This is like when a tumblr post of mine gets even a little bit popular. Time to shy away from the app like a nervous horse.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

some "article" was being promoted asking why Google is leaping ahead in the AI "race" and the answer is... they run everything and they force you to use it. Like. You can opt out of some things, but it makes your life more difficult, and most people aren't going to bother when using their gmail.

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!
So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

I have two projects going right now and both are in the messy/stop/think about it/redo some stuff phase, which is awful. So then I debate doing some small other thing to motivate me but would that thing also end up in the messy/I hate it phase??? Probably.

love when this regime releases some other group of files no one cares about anymore (if they ever did) instead of the one group of files they should. that isn't how distractions work, dum dums. that is just reminding people of what you aren't doing.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
