An important story from N. Ireland. UK Gov is choosing not to fund NI according to need.

Almost 10 x times as many people died on hospital waiting lists in 3 yrs in the North vs 30 yrs of conflict.

'Many people are spending their final days in pain & discomfort, without the treatment they need.'
‘Something has gone fundamentally wrong with health service’ as 32,000 die while on waiting lists since 2022
Figures revealing up to 32,000 people have died while waiting on procedures in Northern Ireland since 2022 are a sign that “something has gone fundamentally wrong” with our health service, an Oppositi...

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
I do understand: you want permission. There's a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don't look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn't notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don't need me to believe it's useful, you just want me to be polite about it. But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

“I have no professional interest in people looking at my face” is, not to be dramatic about it or anything, an idea for which I am willing to live and die

and god I mean, more broadly - I resent this idea that someone has to look at me to follow what I'm saying, I like writing and I like talking on the radio and on podcasts, I have no professional interest in people looking at my face, leave me alone

I built a gadget for that using an old supermarket electronic shelf label. It scrapes the data from the council website.

Multiple ppl in the last month have asked me which A.I. I'm using to fact-check my Beck book

I always sit there and experience a minor panic attack at the idea of feeding my highly confidential, proprietary, unproofed text into some scumbag's lawless word-eater

And then I change the subject

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 6:
Real agents don't seek out authors to represent.
Real publishers don't seek out authors to publish.
Neither agents nor publishers should ask authors for money. Publishers pay authors an advance plus royalties: agents take their cut from the deals they make for you.

Interesting piece on the “one good use” of LLMs by @cthos.dev. His summary: “if you care about accuracy and learning, you shouldn’t be using an LLM for anything”. https://alextheward.com/blog/llms_are_a_cognitohazard/

🎁 Ever heard someone say, “It’s a shame to tear the packaging”?
We agree! At the National Museum of Ireland, boxes and containers tell stories as fascinating as what’s inside.

Just doing some baking for Christmas, and if you’ve just got your mixer out after not baking anything for ages, a quick reminder: cold water to rinse dough off utensils, rub it with your hand and it’ll go without gumming up a cloth.

Fish Poem
FISH POEM Stella Sacco My best friend in Catholic grade school, Tony, Lived on one side of the highway to Pittstield And between the sets of lanes, Set deep down a sharp incline, There was a little stream Running from one corrugated pipe to another And when I'd come visit we'd cross the road And we'd climb down And we'd get our hands and shoes wet And we'd hunt for cool rocks. But one day we found a big fish instead. It was in a pool slightly deeper and wider Than the rest of the stream And we were mystified. It was big, much bigger than we figured A fish in a stream that narrow should be. Not that we had ever seen a fish there before. It was alive and so still That we were able to reach into the water And stroke it And feel its slick scales And so we sang songs to it And we called it a gentle giant And it didn't swim away And we thought it was a miracle And we wondered where it would go from there And we went back inside. The next time I saw Tony I brought up our gentle giant And he looked at me with a sort of bladed pity And said "It was dying, dummy." He explained he had talked to his mom And his mom had said The fish came from somewhere else And had gotten stranded in that stream somehow And had nothing to eat anymore And not enough room to swim And the reason it didn't swim away from us Is because it couldn't swim away from us. It couldn't swim anywhere. We were the giants, not the fish, And we had played with it As it was dying. I got sad. Maybe it was able to go downstream, I offered. Tony countered with a "How?" For which I did not have a great answer. But I just think If I was dying, As l am every day, I would like someone Who thought I was miraculous To touch me And feel my soft skin And sing to me While I went.
