“Hey, ChatGPT! Give me three citations to studies supporting a finding that vaccines cause autism in children.“ Notice the absence of the word “real“ or “existing“ or “non-hallucinatory.“ Prompts are important, kids! (Hat-tip to @audryt.bsky.social)

You know, just in case the blanket pardon/commutation of everyone involved in January 6 wasn't sufficiently clear.

Right after "Don't use semicolons," "Don't use adverbs," "Don't use speech tags beyond 'said' and 'says,'" and "Always delete the word 'that,'" my favorite piece of writing advice is "Don't listen to people giving writing advice who are incessantly telling you not to do things."

And on this, the anniversary of the day that Star Wars first opened in theaters in 1977, we pour out a glass of blue milk in memory of incredible practical effects that no one will ever again bother to create thanks to CGI…

He’s just the Comment Section in the shape of a human being, isn’t he.

This is a super-fun YA story by a super cool friend. From the first sentence in the *prologue*, I was hooked. It’s got swords, magic, found family, and some kissing. I’m usually not drawn in by imagery, but I found the descriptions of locations, sounds, and *smells* compelling. Highly recommend!

It’s interesting to realize that in around 20 years or so there will probably a meme that begins, “If you could go back in time to when Donald Trump was a baby…” #HitlerParadox

Just to be clear: They ordered ICE to arrest the black man for trespassing. After video proved he hadn’t trespassed, they dismissed the charge to “move forward,” then arrested the black woman whom ICE assaulted while she was defending the black man who hadn’t trespassed. For assault. Did I get it?
