I've been having some trouble staying asleep the past few months. While it hasn't helped me get to sleep (the writing is too good), I want to thank @stephenking.bsky.social for writing Insomnia, which I've been finding very strangely comforting during this time.

This was my grandmother's favorite cocktail. I wonder if she knew she shared this with Gene Kelly?
“The Alexander appeals to the little boy in me. I guess—it tastes like a chocolate bar, and, somehow, Christmas and chocolate go together. Mix ½ ounce of fresh cream, ¾ ounce of creme de cacao, a jigger of gin or brandy. Shake well with cracked ice, and it’s great.” — Gene Kelly 🧊

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Since our fucking government isn’t observing World AIDS Day, I will. In 1990, I started taking care of people in the last stages of AIDS in their homes. I did this for nearly two years. The home care company I worked for had meetings for those of us who solely (or nearly solely) took care of PWAs.
