Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.

She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

I’m going into this battle
And take my union gun
We’ll end this world of slavery
Before this battle’s won

All of you fascists bound to lose:
I said, all of you fascists bound to lose:
Yes sir, all of you fascists bound to lose:
You’re bound to lose! You fascists:
Bound to lose!

All I can hear when I see this report is Robin Williams as Mr. Keating saying “Rip! Rip it out! Be gone Mr. J. Evans Pritchard!” This graph and dataset all too familiar to that X/Y axis poetry measurement nonsense.
At least for non-experts: “AI-generated poems are now ‘more human than human’… participants are more likely to judge that AI-generated poems are human-authored, compared to actual human-authored poems…. participants rate AI-generated poems more highly than human-written poems”

Hello! Just moving over here from that other site. I teach Creative Writing in a community college outside Minneapolis. My debut memoir, Beard: A Memoir of a Marriage, comes out about a year from now. I’m originally from the Mississippi Delta. I love reading and writing about food. :)

“They were careless people . . . they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

I have a game. What were you "known" for on Twitter?

I'll go first. I'm the woman who caused Dave Ramsey to mass-block Royals Twitter.
