Across the country- people who do jobs which were once considered the kind that you could build a comfortable life around are now paycheck to paycheck gigs. It can't stand.
OPINION by Jack Criss, air traffic controller:
“After my shift, I don’t go home to rest. I clock into DoorDash, trying to make ends meet for my daughter and me.”

Opinion | I’m an air traffic controller, working without pay in my third shutdown.
There is zero margin for error in our jobs. Showing up to work every day, not knowing when or if you'll be paid, is deeply unsettling.

I definitely consider Barthelme as part of a long tradition of irrealism in quote unquote literary fiction that's perhaps outside of the more traditional SFFH spaces. Beckett, Buzzati, Borges, Calvino, Ocampo, etc type vein. I like the idea of thinking of that as part of a larger "weird"

Barthelme rips
Thinking of Barthelme as speculative, or floating within the larger pool of irrealism, is syncing up nicely with some thoughts I’ve been working on with weird genre/canon formation, especially pulling on this excellent thought by Timothy Jarvis and Helen Marshall

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Btw, I should note that Defector is an amazing example of how a publication and a bunch of very talented writers figured out how to modernize their tone from their original 2010s style while still keeping their funny, edgy voice.

online outlets so expected this style of essay that, for a while, it felt like the only food the internet word machine that existed back then would accept
I think a lot of people don’t realize how insanely pervasive and coercive the early 2010s “the only way to make it as a young writer is to publish insanely confessional, raw online essays about your darkest secrets and trauma” culture was.

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Thinking more and more about Dead Internet Theory - especially every time I see someone who means well posting gen-AI slop by mistake... www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/new...
The ‘dead internet theory’ makes eerie claims about an AI-run web. The truth is more sinister
Is most of the content on the internet fake? Here’s what the dead internet theory really means – and why we should be warier of how we’re manipulated for profit and political gain.
