This *feels* like Fables sounds.

No. This is the greatest idea ever.

Nausicaä is so good

The Spirit of the Beehive / El espíritu de la colmena

Also Ivan the Terrible parts 1 & 2.

JFC don't give agentic AI access to sensitive things, especially without backups and guardrails. O.o

You could have spent your time critiquing the right. Instead, you punch left.

This is why American leftism will never achieve power.

VC & C-suite folks LOVED "ai" because they thought it meant they could fire so many people.

Now that it's clear to folks that existing use cases don't allow for mass firings and don't even always save money or time, it will be interesting to see how the story changes.

That's $400,000 a bed, assuming they are all new!?

What in the grift?

Apart from the sheer evilness, how does it cost $400,000 to build one concentration camp bed?

Writers,
I'll be at AWP with my press and our new books and writers.
We are booth 1290, come check out our tabernacle of love.

Saw Les Wexner referenced as "the richest man in Ohio" and while I guess that's true on its face, it sounds too much like a Mountain Goats song to take entirely seriously

Well this is great

No, we shouldn’t put them in prison Think more deeply about what that actually means, and what it would do.

Listen, I do a lot of work trying to educate people in thoughtful and kind ways, but can I just be real for a second?

The amount of you who seem to genuinely want a different society but who also shoot down every idea for trying something different is just absolutely wild.

I get it.
It's easy (for me) to comment "jail" on a post about the Epstein Class, partially because I'm using language my audience understands -- and because trying to explain other possibilities is so beyond what people are prepared to hear.
But I could do better.

The conclusions about student cognition aren’t the interesting part for me so much as the money being spent on youth surveillance that isn’t leading to better learning outcomes. Teachers are being laid off, schools & libraries are closing, books are being banned.

Hey all.
Who is going to AWP?

Honestly we should embrace melodramatic excess in fiction.

As long as Ohio loses.

I've never been more disappointed about quote posts being disabled in my entire life as this very moment.

High! At the dive bar

No, it's fine. We are.

Boxed juice goes to rehab

Bob Dylan's face and mine mashed up. Text says daddy does Dylan.

Gonna do a Dylan cover show in February.

Amazon recommending Paw Patrol to me

We don't watch copaganda, Jeff.

I love it when I already have them blocked.
