AI images may have the wrong number of fingers, but AI poetry often has the wrong number of feet.

You know how when you rub a lamp and get a genie and they fulfil your wish but there's always a hidden catch and you don't get what you ask for in some kind of tricksy way? That's what it's like trying to code with Copilot.

...and his youthful ward, Dick Grayson.

If anyone is responsible for James Corden it's the fucking neurotypicals.

Balloonia.

British person here. I mainly know you from that Public Enemy song. "America's oldest continuously published daily piece of bullshit". Seems like they were right.

Reading Louis MacNeice, very good. Did not expect him to use the word "bumfun", I am guessing the meaning has changed over the years.

My advice for performance poets would not be so much "Always leave the audience wanting more", but rather "Do not leave the audience wanting less".

Seeing altogether too many flags round my way. Captain von Trapp had the right idea.

Once, back before I was quite so old and hideous, I was in McDonalds and a guy pointed at me and shouted "DEAN CAIN!". For years I took some small joy in this, but thanks to MAGA I can no longer do so. As usual it is I, the affluent straight white man, who suffers the most.

I use the phrase "Sexy game of Settlers of Catan" probably monthly.

YouTube video by The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan Steve Vai | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

Pleasantly surprised to see this long chat between Steve Vai and Billy Corgan. More surprised to hear them discuss their shared love of beekeeping.

If I ever made a website that functions as poorly as Instagram does, and spent as long having it function that poorly without fixing it, I would lose my job.

Very troubling, as an autistic fuckup, to see main character Ian Dunt being raked over the coals for what people guessed he meant rather than what he actually meant. Just because mockery feels good against right-wing chuds doesn't mean you have to do it all the time to everyone.

The linked article is not awful - it basically says all the things everyone says he ought to be saying, like "Focus on yourself and treat women like humans". But it doesn't do anything above the minimum. Young incels: Go listen to Cam Fraser! He is a cool left-oriented male sex advice dude.

The article says a bunch of things like "Treat women like people" and "Jordan Peterson is insane", but of course you already know this having read it.

The Gaslight Fish Bar, Faversham

Same place next week: Coffee? No, we've always just sold fish.

Squid Game Season 2 is not good, but I am enjoying Korean Jason Manford.

Just finished Amanda Gorman's "Call Us What We Carry". I am now picturing Amanda Gorman carrying a very bad poet.

Just saw a goth in a convertible, I have some questions

Is that...scrimshaw?

Going to start calling Borges "Jorgie Borgie".

I'll be reading at The Stage Door, Dartford on Thursday! Plus three high-quality singer-songwriters.

Hanging my head in shame and deleting my comment, didn't realise that was literally what you were going for. Sorry!
