honestly the only piece worth reading on the platner situation. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is absolutely cooking here. (gift link)

AI can help authors beat writer’s block, says Bloomsbury chief Publisher last week reported jump in revenue in academic and professional arm thanks to AI licensing deal

People who aren’t writers think writer’s block is at least as big and real a problem as I thought quicksand would be, as a child.

Thank you, Chicago.

To recap:
•$100M on golf
•$172M for jets for ICE Barbie
•$230M in DOJ payments to Trump
•$250M for a vanity ballroom
•$40B to Argentina while our farmers suffer
•$117B in annual tax cuts to the super wealthy 1%
•$170B ICE budget to round up Americans like Gestapo

Meanwhile—no money for food stamps

“Phillip K. Dick. Ray Bradbury. Like so many in tech, I draw in completely misunderstanding the authors.”

I think I read this! The mother was enabling the daughter/vampire/zombie to eat people, more or less. I will try to remember where I read it.

I came for the frog saunas, and stayed for the dick-punch to capitalism:

On a basic sentence level, the first sentence voids every sentence after it.

A New York Times headline reads: Kennedy faces withering barrage of criticism over vaccine policy

That’s comforting. Measles has no chance against withering criticism.

So far I've found AI has been used as an excuse to increase workloads and shorten deadlines, worsening burnout in an effort to increase shareholder value.

8 vacations in 7 months has prepared JD Vance to be the next worst president

I miss the old brand #CDC

For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society

This isn’t bad luck or coincidence or predestination.

This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.

MINNEAPOLIS: “A deliberate act of violence… don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.”

2 kids dead, over a dozen others wounded by another heavily armed gunman. Heartbreaking.

Dunking on AI by showing the stupid prompts you make it do is still using AI. They don’t care if you’re using it to make fun of it, you’re still a number on a spreadsheet proving its use

If you can't build your own guillotine, store bought is fine

Imagine having so much money that you could solve childhood poverty or pay off everyone’s medical debt or fund a cure for cancer and you choose this instead

"The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green."

Happy Lottery day to you and yours.

The maddening thing is that this would have been PAINFULLY OBVIOUS if they had ANY EXPERIENCE AT ALL working with the government! In any way! Or if they had asked a single question!! 😖
