When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles.
Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

Used book haul. Stoked for more Robbe-Grillet. I'm always down to find out more about D'Annunzio's crazy ass, and I've never checked out any Houllebecq. I'm set for a minute.

Starting on this one during any downtime today.
You can already consider me a big fan of ol' R-G. One novel and one film was all that it took.

I'm finally reading Ligotti's The Conspiracy Against The Human Race. Everyone told me it was bleak and pessimistic, but I was not prepared for how witty and funny it is. I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

No, Jaden Smith wearing a castle model on his head to the Grammys is not a "Satanic thing," nor is it a sign that he's in the Illuminati.
It's a sign that he's a fucking idiot.

My nerdy ass has gotten so bad that when I fall down an internet rabbit hole, I end up asking people for their dissertation on The Morrigan.
I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed.
