Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

i definitely do feel morally superior to people who use AI but i also just dont understand anyone who doesn't have like a visceral disgust reaction to stuff that is detectably made using it. it hurts me to look at. as soon as i realize it's AI I shoo it away as fast as I can like it's a bug

this was always the endgame, the complete erasure of trans people from public life and - if these people get their way - from existence entirely

This is NOT pre-Project 2025 America. Sorry, The Rules already went down the shitter. So:
First we "gerrymander the fuck" out of every blue state.
Then we stack the House with Democrats.
THEN we push for the anti-gerrymandering law.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.
It aired in 1990.
