Remember if it was capable of “revolutionizing” art, film or music - it would’ve produced something of cultural value already.
Instead all its made is endless piles of derivative slop because that’s all its capable of.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

FINALLY properly reading (well, listening to the Magic Story Podcast) Duskmourn stories by @seananmcguire.bsky.social and the voice that Seanan gave to each character is exceptional. This is some truly great storytelling. Also that Tyvar refuses a shirt and Zimone is low key freaking out over it.

SPACE BABY is coming to YouTube tomorrow, and I am excited to mine the songs for bracelet quotes! (I am getting a good grade in kandi. Which is a totally normal thing for me to want.)

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

This is so so so very true. I have basically NO MEMORY of most of 2018, a year during which I planned a group trip and set several valuable relationships on fire. Do I know why I did it? Nope! Those files are not found. Trauma scrambles EVERYTHING.
Kate makes an excellent argument here.
Also trauma plays heck with your memory formation and recall and these kids have been through a lot without adult resources to help.

I have been reading all the "students these days" threads from various sides and I have an essay's worth of thoughts -- there's a lot of complexity and heterogeneity that is hard to communicate on social media. There are a couple of things I will say here though. 1/

Fun fact, indie booksellers are always happy to order books, even if they don't have them in stock, for you to pick up in-store or have shipped. Heck, you can even ask faraway indie bookstores to ship a book, or you can purchase through bookshop.org and support indies across the US and the UK!
