One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

I'm not hostile to the Abundance Agenda per se but I *am* irked by the sense that its adherents disdain the conservation movement as a bunch of retrograde obstructionists who only exist to weaponize NEPA & block govt from building Stuff Humans Need. Like does Ezra Klein even know what a bird is.

We can fight for a better world. White liberals screaming for the preservation of an immigrant underclass so we have access to cheap produce and clothing is as evil as anything else.

This residency was life changing. I got to go during fall, and I picked apples and pears and quince everyday. It was amazing.
Heads up, writers.

PCC’s Carolyn Moore Writers House 2025-2026 residency applications will open on April 15 @cmwritershouse.bsky.social

The worst part of hosting the neighborhood social at the local brewery is showing up 30 minutes early to roost over two ten tops as the bar gets busier ☠️

Thrilled to receive our copy of @johnallentaylor.bsky.social’s new collection TO LET THE SUN. John is one of our bravest, most compassionate poets; his chapbook UNMONSTROUS was a masterpiece and this book is undoubtedly another. See the post below to order TLTS yourself from U of Arkansas Press!
