Spec-fic writer... except when I'm not writing. Gets easily distracted by space/nature porn, politics, any interesting story, fantasy novels, AI hatred, dogs... was that a squirrel?
Anyhoo, I should probably be writing right now.

IMO every publication and every publisher should have a clear statement about their generative AI policy. To dictate what is acceptable writer usage, yes, but also to declare their own usage (or lack thereof). Do they use it for slushreading, editing, illustration, correspondence?

I almost forgot to wish everyone a Happy Bloomsday!
After missing Towel Day back in May, this could have been a major faux pas.

I've seen this quote attributed to Flanary O Conner, it is true for me as well. Love this.
"I never know what I think, until I read what I write." I don't recall who said this first. I do know that it's true. Your writing can become an automatic tap into your buried mental stuff and when you read it months later you will quiver in reaction. Self Sight.

Always loved Calvin and Hobbes but the day I realised that it wasn't just talking tiger & kid but Calvin's stuffed toy he lives in this alternate reality with while navigating the everyday world was when I understood this is one of the greatest works of literature in history of the English language

I am awestruck, truly. Is it asking too much to schedule these during the day though? Some of us need decidedly more beauty sleep than others.

This Milky Way shot was taken at the Toadstool Hoodoo natural monument near Kanab, Utah. The Andromeda Galaxy also makes a cameo appearance in this shot.

These are war crimes carried out by Russia. It shouldn’t be difficult for anyone to say who the aggressor is in this war. And a President of the United States should see things firsthand. Skip a round of golf and visit Ukraine!

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
