The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

In short, using AI in your writing is among the dumbest things you can do as a writer as it exposes you to potential legal action while affording you zero legal protections. AI is a nightmare box for idiots. Don't fall into the trap of shortcutting your writing career.

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

2/2 Today: 1 ICE Air to Gitmo then to Nicaragua for a deport (the 11th such), and 1 to Jamaica after Gitmo for a deport. There is a C30 that landed in Harlingen recently so perhaps to Gitmo later or tomorrow? Prior to today there were 65 people detained at Gitmo.

"I looked [waaaay] up..."
i worked in an office a floor above a modest filming studio in London. Sometimes people would get lost and randomly walk into our small room. I looked up from my monitor one time to a confused looking Stephen Merchant. He’s very tall.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

I just learned from a podcast that the last morning on the Titanic, Captain Smith decided to cancel a lifeboat drill in order to have an extra-long church service instead.
And fam that is kind of similar to what it’s like to be a scientist under the rule of RFK Jr.

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

Two days left. Please comment.
You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

"Trump is not closely monitoring Musk’s moves"
Perhaps Elon's assignment to an office across the street from the White House isn't the come-uppance we hoped for. Perhaps it's more about separation for plausible deniability.
