One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

One thing about recreational adderall use is that it makes you pretty sure you're a genius, and also correct about whatever myopic subject you've trained your focus on lol
She's trying to cast herself as some kind of tragic timeless figure but it just comes off as vapid and self-obsessed. This is the literary version of your most annoying friend on Instagram.

Do you put your sleep playlist on around the same time every night except the night there was a late night civil disobedience action in your town? Gotcha.
Do you listen to kids music for the same 15 minutes every day? I know when you take your kids to school.
Breakup playlist? I can assume…

NEW: A newly enacted NY state law requires retailers to reveal whether it used "surveillance pricing" to decide how much you pay for goods. Target, for example, shows the alert on a pop-up when you try to buy eggs online. @regret.bsky.social—@wired.com's new investigative data reporter!—reports:
Your Data Might Determine How Much You Pay for Eggs
A newly enacted New York law requires retailers to say whether your data influences the price of basic goods like a dozen eggs or toilet paper, but not how.

I talk a lot of shit about my adopted city but I do truly love NYC
Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.
New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.
