Bookity book book. Shiny pretty book. You cannot buy the book, because there are only two of them, but you can look at the book and appreciate the book. Book book book.

I desperately need more scientists to understand that "the general public" is not a group that exists, because every time I ask what audience they're trying to reach and they say The General Public™ I die a little inside. I do not wish to be dead inside.

You may consider this my position on generative AI:

Question 26. What speed do you usually watch YouTube videos at?
You only included speeds ≥ 1x and no other category. Some people might watch at < 1x and others might watch a minute, pause it, then come back and watch a little more throughout the day like chapters in a book. That's a speed, right?
May I interest you in a little experimental creative writing?

Just in case you don't care about the ethical or environmental issues surrounding generative AI, the transparently exploitative business model of GenAI companies might just sway you against them.

I enjoyed writing this piece of speculative journalism on what it might look like and what the challenges will be when humans eventually set foot on Mars.

Hello fellow humans!
I'm writing a story where two people feel each other's emotions. I have documented my own emotions, but the story would suffer if both characters felt things in the same way.

It’s dangerous to science alone. Take this!
One day, we’ll find out how far I can push my luck before the sensible people at Particle stop me.
Today is not that day.

I'm thinking it's got something to do with democracy. If you live in a monarchy or something similar, then just believing people when they say something authoritatively is normalised. But when that stops being normal, something else gets to creep in and that something is: "Prove it, asshole."

I was thinking about how the evolution of folklore can be traced phylogenetically, which got me wondering if you could end up with a genre or subgenre so obsessed with retaining the purity of its motifs/tropes that it ends up Habsburging itself. Just an inbred, mutated ball of literary regret.

Tree.
There is definitely no deeper meaning to this tree. How dare you suggest such a thing?

Contrary to popular belief, people are not stupid. As her turtle munched on his crispy leaf of iceberg lettuce, Willa was starting to understand why that belief was so popular.

One moment, Perth was one of the most isolated cities on Earth.
The next moment, that spot of light at the edge of the world was all that was left.
All alone, how will the people of Perth confront their first day?
