The unthinkable happened. US-Israeli bombs have damaged the Qajar palace complex of Golestan in central Tehran. The hall of mirrors is damaged. 200 year old wooden panels are destroyed. I have no idea what else. This is now personal.
On a cold winter's morning at Canada's majestic Niagara falls, the rising sun was hidden behind a cloud bank, but when it finally did break through, it lit the mist and thundering waters in beautiful light!

posted abt korean politics and somebody replied to me saying they can't be bothered to care about international matters with everything going on here (don't go looking for that reply leave them alone) and it makes me think about how hard the US works to isolate us from developing global perspectives

It's a very "Joseph's coat of many colors" situation β the show writers made a gender change and now people online want to throw this woman in a well

I was obsessed w/my mom's copies of WH + Jane Eyre β though I loved JE, WH was a delicious brick sandwich of angst.
The boldness of summoning Heathcliff to her deathbed as a married woman! Heathcliff trying to reverse-Kumon a child! The vexation of LEAVING BEFORE YOU'VE HEARD THE END OF A SPEECH!
These groups are exploiting the real pain & anger people rightfully feel towards Big Tech while positioning Section 230 as the problem when their true aim is to restrict resources/online free speech of groups they donβt like. Please sign + share: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/jose...

Sorry to get radical but I donβt think itβs my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I donβt like any part of it, so I wonβt. Iβm missing out? Good, thatβs what I want. Youβre worried about me missing out? Thatβs fuckin weird, man.

Re: your surprise + cross-posting this β
Older platforms have more record of the writing community's AI antipathy than here β major authors who've had their work stolen to train AI, ebook markets bogged w/AI churn. To not run into that as an editor/writer, you'd have to stick to a v specific fringe.
may your dreams come true β or, at the very least, your most desired one
