In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Anyway, just returning to editing a chapter for which I read 16 books, even more chapters and articles, and around 400 files from archives in London, Birmingham, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Trivandrum.
I think people sometimes really do not know or understand what we do in the field.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Dr Oz wants to make sure that we all know he spends a LOT of time thinking nonstop about children's genitals. In fact it's pretty much all he thinks about. What does that child have in their pants and what does it cost for me to get near it??????
Dr Oz: "The creation of a penis costs on average in America $150,000 per child ... if you add testicles, that's extra"

I don’t know how it works at the New York Times, but my editors at The Guardian would never let me publish this if they knew that I was one of the elites who spent time with Epstein. And if I published it without telling them, I would be out of a job.

My bucket list comics journalism project is a deeply-researched article finding the guy who invented the Peeing Calvin bumper sticker and exploring its significance for creative control of intellectual property, and I feel in my heart a major magazine should finance this.
calvin and hobbes rules and has always ruled because it's not ubiquitous. no toy tie-ins, no cartoons, no official t-shirts or whatever. it relied on the books alone to stay popular and that makes it special. leave bill watterson alone

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

I am an old man, @mozilla.org, and I was happy to sit in my rocking chair and use Firefox until sunset. But if you insist on choking this browser with GenAI bloat, I will face God and walk backwards into Linux.
@mozilla.org I have been using Firefox for YEARS. Not sure what the new CEO is hoping to achieve by "AI everything now" but if the hope is to drive people like me off your browser, you will surely succeed.

Also it really can’t be understated how much the voucher scam has helped to take a sledgehammer to public education here. Just a regular stream of these kinds of headlines ever since:

I can't find the thread anymore so I'll paraphrase but
People pushing AI in the arts dont understand that art is the process not the result
Writing is about the words and the meaning and how they slot together. Painting is about colour and texture and the physicality of the paintbrush on paper

this is such a painful loss. my heart is broken.
