nobody wants video essays anymore. all the money’s in illuminated manuscripts these days. you can write any manuscript at all – a terrible one! it doesn’t matter! some startup will still jump in your emails begging to partner with you and get it illuminated

I actually don’t need to be a programmer to be able to look at AI-generated art, translation, or written work to deem them inferior to what a very proficient human (that’s me) can produce.

It doesn’t take a tech insider to spot shoddy product being sold for a premium.

To clarify: I am doing a fully revised re-retranslation, to align my Odyssey translation more closely with my Iliad. Many phrases will be the same, including, of course, "complicated". Many will be a little different. If interested, check back in a couple of years!

I am very excited about my current project: TRANSLATING THE ODYSSEY.

NYMag is really crushing it lately 💪

Inside the Crisis at the Anti-Defamation League The group used to believe the rights of Jews were inextricable from the rights of everyone else. Its war against anti-Zionism has changed everything.

ICYMI, this feature about turmoil at the ADL is really excellent and worth your time. nymag.com/intelligence...

sure, people talk about getting "friend-zoned" but what about getting "dad-zoned" or "mom-zoned"? — thoughts from my brain wyrm 🐛

i think i finally learned how to rebase today 🔮

ah, my adhd meds are working their magic today ~ sometimes i want to leave america but it also means losing access to critical meds... but perhaps living elsewhere might not require me to take adhd meds because the culture/lifestyle would be friendlier to my brain and way of being in the world?

Have just realized that the silly “Bezos wants to buy Vogue as a lavish wedding gift for his bride” story that’s been circulating is inaccurate - Bezos wants to buy Condé Nast which owns The New Yorker,Teen Vogue, Wired & Arts Technica because he is an oligarch who wants to crush all dissent.
