Cranky message for the day. To liquor store cashiers and restaurant servers - it's not adorable when you say to me, "are you sure you're over 21?" I'm 59 years old. I do not think for one second that you think that I look like I'm under 30. And frankly, it feels patronizing and infantilizing.

"Though we see the same world,
we see it through different eyes.
Any help we can give you must be
different from that you can give
yourselves, and perhaps the value
of that help may lie in the fact of
that difference."

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.
AI’s Invasive Species

Holocaust was legal, hiding Jews was not.
Slavery was legal; freeing slaves was not.
Segregation was legal; fighting for equality got you killed.
Being a wealthy child molester is legal; abortions is not.
Laws are not a guide for human decency and morality.

Just got a letter from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield saying that they can require that surgeries like a hip replacement take place in a doctor's office or an Ambulatory Surgery Center instead of a hospital. But they helpfully point out that the parking is better, so it's a win-win for everyone.
