Some of my fondest memories of parenting were of sharing my favorite stories of my childhood with my son by reading them to him. (When we finished all 7 Narnia books he asked me to start them over, a very pleasant surprise.)

Images that have writing are a particular challenge for LLMs and their particular brand of image generation. If you don't care what the writing says, you can sometimes get a serviceable one. Most of the time, you're lucky if the text is even legible.

He accused his opponent of doing so because he himself is that person, and he can't imagine another person not being that way. That's what passes for empathy, in his mind.

It's from a short story by Jerome Bixby. There were sentences in that story that haunted me for years. I never managed to see the TV episode (or, for that matter, the movie).

I completely agree! I was ready to donate until I saw it was ActBlue. I had a visceral recoil in response to seeing that and said "I'll give more to the PAC I like instead."
