They/he. I like to drink coffee and stay up late. I do both at my peril.

The problem with that "First they came for" poem is it makes a lot of unlikely assumptions. For example it assumes they would ever come for me

If anyone suggested I use "AI" for art or writing I would cave their skull in with a fire extinguisher

There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness.

This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.

Trump declares war on cities

“We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Reading Orlando and ran headfirst into Woolf joyfully having a bit of fun at her own expense.

I will say that Bella Ramsey is good enough to keep things engaging on a moment to moment level, even if the obvious inferiority to the source material rears its head the instant the credits roll.

If it’s true that he wants to do a fourth season, then I’m not even sure what to make of this anymore. Surely one long season that actually measures up to the game is better than three thinly structured batches of episodic television that can hardly be called seasons at all.

I will simply never be convinced that these people aren’t miserable. They have all the money and all the power and yet they live in these shitty blocky architectural disasters and spend their time seething with rage because creative people have dared to pursue creative careers.

It is very bizarre to read Craig Mazin (a very good writer) insisting that The Last of Us Part II “obviously” can not be adapted in any less than three seasons when a single 13 episode season, like the sacred HBO programs of old, would have been more than enough.

They recognize abstractly that art has value while paradoxically seeing the time and effort required to create it as beneath them. It never occurs to these people that the process itself can be deeply satisfying and rewarding, and that this passion and/or craft is instrumental to the end result.

Not to psychoanalyze the most boring people in the universe, but a not inconsiderable amount of what seems to drive this kind of hatred is projection. They are frustrated with their own inability to make things, and that self-loathing mutates into an irrational hatred for anyone who can.

The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand
