I don't like the Carson poem, but it's obviously better than the AI poem. Carson's poem takes risks (and probably fails). The AI poem does what, unfortunately, a lot of poems do nowadays--just imitates moves they've seen in other poems. Comparing them is such a bad faith argument.

Our HOA, which last week sent us a letter saying they’re out of money so no longer cutting grass in the common areas, had the nerve to send us a letter and say we needed to cut our grass 😂

One of my biggest misrememberings from childhood was this moment. Until a few months ago I vividly remembered Hulk Hogan, not Lex Luger, doing this.
We rented the tape, probably in the late 90s, from a video store in Idaho that rented out old wrestling matches.

This new Wu-Tang album is really good. It’s not really modern, but classically good.

Poetry Hive Mind: Does anyone know if there’s a textbook or anthology that covers the various schools of poetry over the last 50-70 years? It seems like there should be.

Worth noting today that the entire budget of the NEH is about $200M.
According to acting DOD Comptroller Bryn McDonnell it'll cost $134M for the deployment of the Guard to Los Angeles.

Finches built a nest in the light cover overhanging our front door. The bulb hadnt been working for months. We have another light, in a lamp-fixture to the left of the door, that works, so I never bothered replacing the bulb before the birds built a nest in it. 1/

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
