My fav Shakespeare thing is how Henry IV part 2 starts with Majel Barrett Roddenberry saying, "Previously on Henry IV..." and there's a clip reel ending with Hotspur yelling "FIRE EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT."
Then Majel's voice: "And now, the conclusion."

The “google is using your email to train AI” debacle is imo most instructively seen as tracer dye for multiple failures: many people are instinctively skeptical of tech companies now; and many outlets that should have had experts able to cogently weigh in and go “wait a minute” simply don’t anymore.

one of my favorite genres of comedy is talking very seriously to or about babies like they're just extremely small adults, and no one is doing it right now like Danny Lavery

![His love of bikes has also produced the first wrinkle in our book-reading sessions. If a particular book has a bike in it (Boats on the Bay, Baby Go Japan, Everywhere Babies) he will let me get three or four pages in before grabbing the text from me and turning to the correct page, pointing triumphantly at the bike in question, and announcing “Bike” over and over, at which point he is no longer interested in having the rest of the book read to him and would like me to put it away. It has even lead to, I am sorry to say, dubious claims. Only last night I was reading Strega Nona to him and he began to leaf through the pages, chanting “Bike” to himself with perfect earnestness.
BABY [Leafing]: Bike. Bike. Bike.
SELF: Where is there a bike in Strega Nona?
BABY [Still confident]: Bike.
SELF: Where in this early modern Calabrian village did you see a bike? Show me the bike you’re thinking of. Where is the evidence?
BABY [Producing zero evidence of a bike, while admitting to precisely nothing] Bike.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7qiuhllywd7skoiqadlya3ry/bafkreifl64ohqe3pb2knhg5e35gzu3pvwolvhjcxtkvzdvq76sndpe3lzi@jpeg)

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.
