Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

Be aware of toilet rats, King County says
Rats could climb into your toilet as a result of recent flooding from atmospheric rivers, King County officials say. Enter "wet rat winter."

Tbh the most realistic interpretation of the commercial is that the people using the AI have never seen a book IRL
Also, this thing doesn't look like a book AT ALL. The only way that even sort of makes sense is if it were open and face down, and a museum would never display a book that way.

We shouldn't assume every person who, for example, doesn’t wear a mask in public or doesn't use alt text is a total asshole (and accessibility needs do conflict). But you also can’t be surprised when disabled people are fed up. They’re excluded from society either way regardless of your intention.

every time I see an A-list actor in an ad for some slot machine phone game, I think about how Bill Murray's character in Lost in Translation doing advertisements is framed as basically the highest form of humiliation an actor could go through.

I am embarrassed to have an opinion about what a director I’ve only seen I think 3 movies by said on a podcast but every time I’ve ever seen Matthew Lillard in a movie I’ve enjoyed it; giving props to work you like rules over being catty and rude, & people who think catty and rude is good are bores

lads it’s not AI. AI cannot make jokes like that and the recipe author has more than established his credentials and sense of humour. fuck AI but that doesn’t just mean ‘something I couldn’t come up with myself’

what do you MEAN y’all only read one book at a time
Left the novel I'm in the middle of at a friend's house... Which is a problem because today is a "snuggle up in bed early with a hot water bottle and a good book" evening. So I'm doing an extremely risky thing and... Starting to read... Another book... Despite being halfway through one already.

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked
