I think a lot of people don't understand that in a world where everyone uses "AI" to vomit out statistically average text, the ability to use words uniquely becomes a premium skill and a critical differentiator.

Finished season 1 of "Schmigadoon!" tonight. My favorite thing @reenamccarty.bsky.social had to say about it was "At one point I wondered what this show would be like for someone who didn't get the references, then I realized those people definitely aren't watching." An accurate characterization.

Thrilled to say I ended today's writing session with -14 words. Could be better, but given that I added like 500, finding 514 to cut is a real victory.

"Long COVID is common, affecting up to 10% to 20% of children with a history of COVID-19. With almost 6 million US children potentially affected, this is higher than the number of children with asthma, the most common chronic health problem in children." #LongCovid #Covid #MaskUp

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Why would I, as a customer, pay $300 a person for a meal where the chef completely outsourced their creativity? At that level your own imagination is precisely what I'm paying you for, what an L and an insult to admit you can't do it and charge me anyway. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/d...

I think sometimes about how 15 year old me used "I am writing a novel, which will someday be my job" as an excuse to get out of gainful employment that summer, and how shocked she would be if I told her that 25 years later it actually WAS my job, because that child was fully just pulling a scam.

This is why "you're right, it isn't what you voted for, because your values aren't shared by the Republican Party" is a much more effective message to help build a better America than "yes you did vote for this, you bad person" which fails to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity

Every time I hear "razor blade throat" I'm glad that everyone I come in to regular contact with has already resigned themselves to the fact that I will be masking until there is a way to actually not get sick without one.
