Oh. It's AI slop. Right.

"Keep me outta this, B. I got a family to worry about."
"Look away, Stinky. And you. You stay right there. You might wanna close your eyes."

President Trump's lawyers have told a court he shouldn't have to respond to lawsuits because it would distract him from running the government.
But he's found time to bring lawsuits of his own, against the New York Times and even against his own administration.

You know those full wheels of Parmigiano-Reggiano on display at the grocery store? They’re not real. Thom Yorke told me they’re…fake plastic cheese.

Additionally it shows anemic capital and property holders desperate to profit on these holdings, no matter how awful the manner in doing so.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

When you're a kid and everything is bad, you run away from home. Grace Cather just did, crashing the weirdest club in LA, finding a group of girls to hang with and a house to stay in.
Only that house has been waiting for someone just like her.
My Gifts Are Hungry, crowdfunding soon.

I keep thinking I should poke my head into feeds that are centered around writing communities here and then I do and I shake my head sadly and close the window.
Why am I like this?
Oh, it's because I started writing before this sort of thing ever happened.

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

Hey, I'm hearing that just now the big money is betting on an outside possibility of money delivering and not the steady work of labor. And that seems crazy, right, fellow sentient beings?

I used to laugh at Wells' concept of Eloi and now I understand it completely.
So, it's ok if we use these chatbots to run safety critical messaging systems and stuff in our internal systems, right?

Let's listen to Vanishing Point by Primal Scream. Which is somehow not the most fawning, mewling piece of art beholden to that film.
