The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

So if using AI actually does erode human cognition the way studies suggest, then it's a feature instead of a bug?

The world is gross enough without "take away people's ability to think so we can sell it back to them" being on the list.

An author is worried that their book might "die on submission" and wanted a pep talk. Here's why I hate that phrase, and also case studies, and also a pep talk!

It's not that it hasn't happened. It just hasn't happened YET. YET: YOU'RE ELIGIBLE, TOO.

Illustration from Blair Braverman's book "The Day Leap Soared". A dark grey Alaskan husky with brown ears is leaping over water with closed eyes and a serene smile. Her wavy reflection is mirrored below. Above her is a big full moon, and a sky at twilight full of colorful stars. She's framed by big trees the color of the sky. You can see where she leaped off of the bank on the left side because she's left pawprints on the snow in her wake.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Illustration of a child sitting, wearing a balaclava with antennae in a sandbox, smiling and shedding a single tear, holding a waving ant. There is a row of ants walking towards a sand castle and entering it. There are kids on a swing and a slide in the background.
