Re-reading some of the first draft I'm working on (nearly to 20k words now). There are lots of things other authors are better than me at, and I'll happily admit to them. I have to work hard on my description and scene setting, for example.
But my dialog fucking rules. 😄

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage
On this subject: every single website in France still thinks it's a good idea to force users to change their passwords regularly. This is bad security practice because it encourages using short, easy-to-remember passwords, but apparently no one told this entire country.
One thing I wasn't prepared for when moving to France is how much worse the internet is here. I don't mean the broadband - it's faster & cheaper than the US. I mean the sites and apps. They are all broken, all the time. And not in standard enshittification ways. Just like … buttons that do nothing.

I upgraded to the new MacOS and as far as I can tell, all it did was make my dock look slightly more like a gummy candy. Everything else looks exactly the same. Nothing is very "liquid glass"-y. I guess maybe it's because I use very few of Apple's default apps?

Trying to figure out where to go these days to hire illustrators. Cara wants me to be a company to post a job. ArtStation is an AI shitpit. ConceptArt no longer exists. Anyone got suggestions?
I guess maybe Fiverr or Upwork but I'd rather go someplace artists actually hang out.

I'm so tired of websites deciding for me that my 18 character randomized password is not secure enough and they need to send me a separate confirmation email to let me log in.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy
A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?
China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB

Shout out to CDG who have all of their customs kiosks turned off and have three total agents handling all non-European passports. Really, no, I'd way rather be spending my Friday night here than at my apartment drinking wine.

Just gonna repost this for no reason. It's surely not related to me doing so from an airplane.

You know what I love about Meta is that every single time they're in the news, it's for being in a position where they had a choice between "cartoonishly evil" or "not cartoonishly evil" and every single time, they've chosen the former.
In a lengthy report, Reuters exposed five years of Meta practices and failures that allowed scammers to take advantage of users of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Rural ireland is pretty but also rather homogenous. Feels like this train has been rolling past the same three fields and stands of trees for 2.5 hours.
