Love when baseball announcers get bored enough to spout random facts. “This is just like when Washington Boolean hit a two run double into a swamp in 1918.”

This is superb. Yuval Taylor's in-depth account of the early career of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, including the truth about joining Fleetwood Mac, is an exemplary piece of music writing: insightful, clean prose reflecting wide knowledge and primary research.

RIP the legendary David Stratton who not only was monitored by ASIO for suspected communist sympathies but also once gave a film - 'The Replacements' - zero stars because "It is a film which celebrates strike-breakers and scabs". Read the transcript here: letterboxd.com/margaret_dav...

Toni Morrison said that fascism “changes citizens into taxpayers—so individuals become angry at even the notion of the public good...It changes parenting into panicking—so that we vote against the interests of our own children; against their health care, their education, their safety from weapons.”

So much of the “promise” of AI right now is saving time creating.
Let me say it from my chest: all I want is to spend *more* time creating. I’m not making content. I’m engaging in my vocation, my calling, my literal reason for existing.
