I'm trying to read and the cat is not having it. she just sat down in my book

i feel like this is all happening cause we stopped pumping up the jam

I'm sorry for your loss

that is good. letting it rest for a week is even better in my experience

finally we will see Goncharov

I wound up adopting a bunch of their tics because after a period of annoyance, I decided they were right

since this plainly sucks let me ask you: what's the best advice you got from an editor?

it is also how every californian talks about highways

nilay frequently rationed my exclamation marks

a lot of past and present verge staffers have been edited by me and I have a hard time imagining an AI could replicate the experience based on my public writing. what would the grammarly version of me do, suggest that you put more curse words in the piece?

not sure whether I am relieved or insulted that I haven't been impersonated by an AI startup.

The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you “sharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.” When users select the “expert review” button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions “inspired by” related experts. Those “industry-relevant perspectives” include the likes of Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan, among many others. The Verge found numerous other tech journalists named in the feature, as well, including former Verge editors Casey Newton and Joanna Stern, former Verge writer Monica Chin, Wired’s Lauren Goode, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Jason Schreier, the New York Times’ Kashmir Hill, The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany, PC Gamer’s Wes Fenlon, Gizmodo’s Raymond Wong, Digital Foundry founder Richard Leadbetter, Tom’s Guide editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer, former Rock Paper Shotgun editor-in-chief Katharine Castle, and former IGN news director Kat Bailey. The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work.

The endpoint of journalism is that an AI startup turns you into a fake "editor" without telling you and against your will www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

JP Morgan on Trump’s Iran war: “Oil prices have risen nearly 35% from the past year's average.. Each sustained 10% price increase could yield a 10bp increase in headline inflation but little effect on core … along with a 15-20bp hit to GDP, though these estimates have wide uncertainty bands.”

I'm presently rehabbing a knee injury but I did have a good bench press this morning. I'll take what I can get.

the best

The number of times I've thought of Mark Pittman, a bulldog reporter... Famously, Treasury waited until after he died to respond to his FOIA request. www.cjr.org/the_kicker/a...

this lady stopped traffic in two directions with nothing more than her vibes and a yellow safety vest. no bike helmet. the Oakland flow baby

I love Oakland. everyone is nuts. slowest jaywalkers in the world. today I witnessed a lady on a bike make a right into traffic, cutting off a car, so she could immediately make a left and everyone obligingly stopped to let her

is that good

I was fully prepared to be annoyed but they've won me over

they're now yelling again. they think people who cut in line at the airport should be in jail.

I am at a beer garden and several middle-aged bros next to me are quite drunk. they had been hollering about their investments but have now just lowered their voices to discuss something confidentially. it is: how amazing their wives are.

I mean I know that's bad news but also damn, screaming so loud you blow out your abdominal wall... that's commitment baby

it's not even typing!!! a machine can't give itself carpal tunnel

she is perfect and I hope she enjoys her kangaroo

sorry I'm old enough to remember when smokers got to take "smoke breaks" and it was an excuse to fuck off about once every hour or two and gossip. nicotine for productivity? cooked
