If I don’t drive around the park,
I’m pretty sure to make my mark.
If I’m in bed each night by ten,
I may get back my looks again.
If I abstain from fun and such,
I’ll probably amount to much.
But I shall stay the way I am,
Because I do not give a damn.
Dorothy Parker, 1926

Saying “you’re not an artist” to someone who uses AI is starting to feel like saying “you’re not a woman” to a trans woman. The irrational fear and hatred behind it feels similar.

This song hit #1 on Billboard’s country digital downloads chart. As far as anyone can tell, no human was involved at any point in its production. (Presumably someone at least wrote a prompt, and may have had a hand in the writing and editing, but they’ve covered their tracks well.)

The government has been shut down for forty days and forty nights. That’s got to be a violation of church/state separation.

There is an ancient Discordian proverb (that I made up a few years ago) that says, “The philosopher is always wrong in an argument with a cabbage.”
I am no philosopher, but I seem to be wrong more and more often lately. The internet is made of cabbages.

Smell is a powerful transporter. I grew up next to a cornfield. A few summers ago I was driving in the country with my windows down and got a big whiff of wildflowers and cow manure, and suddenly found myself playing with my Spider-Man Webmaker out by the mailbox in Connecticut.

If you’re wondering where all the great online content is, it’s languishing on social media. It can’t find an audience, and with no positive feedback, its creators are getting bored and abandoning it.
I have decided to end Panels2Ponder, which began in 2012. My audience has been reduced to 2 people, and though I'm grateful for their presence, it's just not worth my time and trouble to do anymore. 13 years is a good run, and it was once fun, but the party has to end. Ciao and thank you for caring.

A reminder that we still don’t know the cause of the fire that burned Judge Diane Goodstein’s house down.
I say this because literally everyone I follow has already decided that (a) it was arson, and (b) it was politically motivated. Arson has not been ruled out, but the investigation is ongoing.

How long before “AI-free” is as meaningful as “GMO-free?” We were probably past that point before I even thought to ask the question.

Florida has graduated from “No covid shots for you” to “Only if you are particularly at risk.”
Honestly, I did not read the full list of at-risk categories on the appointment form before checking yes. I’m just assuming that “human who regularly interacts with other humans” is on there somewhere.
