Watched Arsenal vs Spurs. With a historic hat trick and truly inspired play, Eze was definitely worth the 91 mil. Too bad he’s wearing the wrong shirt.

Any way you approach it, there are hard times ahead for the teaching of writing. Recognizing its value for critical thinking and new knowledge generation will be the key. How to do that is the question. AI appeals because it promises relief from “make work.” Creative work is not make work.

Found through @jsanofranchini.bsky.social I especially liked the killjoy idea that happiness isn’t always the ultimate goal. Doing your own writing isn’t always pleasant, but it is rewarding in long-lasting ways.
I wrote this blog about how feeling like a killjoy whenever I talk about GenAI.

This totally gets what it’s like. I hope those who aren’t writers tryin to juggle these roles don’t see this as whining. It is so not.

And let us not forget the amazing Murderbot book series by Martha Wells. So good!
The new Apple TV+ show starring Alexander Skarsgård features a mix of special effects-laden action, deadpan humor and social commentary. It deserves a big audience.

Too many great sci-fi shows go unnoticed. I hope 'Murderbot' won't be the next

This is clearly about fiction, but is pretty much how poetry works too, only poetry does things images can’t.
My daughter just told me that you either need pictures in books, or you need to write like a painter, and that’s the only way your book will be any good

I dreamed some poetry this morning and most of it blew away on puffs of air. It’s a start. I’m not having luck posting poems here, so I think it’s back to old school: write, submit, publish, repeat

The administration usually refers to these “others” with collective nouns. My concern is that people with disabilities will be next.

I’ve been trying to keep Shadow from standing in front of the big TV in the living room (right in front of the closed captions) by turning it off and switching to the iPad. This is now her preferred viewing.
