I feel like this is why I get so many of my best writing ideas in the shower. it's like the only time left when I am not Doing a Thing or On a Screen. I'm just standing there being in my body and my brain is like "oh my god finally it's quiet in here" lmao

“another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he’s John Wayne” all right well you got us there Hans

The thing about genAI is it's an amalgamation, a sanding down of many points of view.

I have heard that Jonathan Harker is a himbo, of course, but nothing could have prepared me. He is given his first big job at work, securing an estate for a foreign noble, and happily chooses a dilapidated hovel next to an insane asylum. What was his plan if the guy wasn’t marked by Satan??

The most American shared value is looking at your neighbors doing something you've never seen before and going HEY THAT'S NEAT TELL ME ABOUT IT.
