I heard a teacher say he wrote every day not because he expected to write a poem he would want to keep every day but because it was the best chance he had to write poems he would want to keep every year
the honest-to-god real reason you should write every day is so you don’t have to remind yourself at great length of where you are in your draft and what’s already happened and where you need to get

transphobia is sexism
if you have a penis you must have these characteristics
if you have a vagina you must have these characteristics
the more transphobic a person is the more sexist they are
the more sexist a society is the more transphobic it is
this should be obvious but apparently it isn't🙄

today’s affirmation: I am within the acceptable range of deviation. I am a perfectly roasted quail. if I was a car the mechanics would find nothing weird or rodent related in my air filter. I am upright. There are no stones or excess debris in my shoes. I still have all my bones.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Good job thoughtlessly reporting "people who don’t wear smart glasses in the future may be at a “pretty significant cognitive disadvantage”" as though it were news, while the headlines are full of studies showing the cognitive decline in AI-addicted users.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

You will never make yourself safer by making someone else less safe. You will never erase the crimes of colonialism and imperialism by further brutalizing its victims.
Anti-immigrant sentiment and the policy through which it is manifested is the bosses robbing you and saying someone else did it.

"they do say you get more conservative the older you get"
Yes, they do indeed say that but the reason they say that - and other "grow up" type stuff - is so that you associate adulthood, seriousness and maturity with being a bigot who signs off on your own exploitation.
