It's done! It's a banana slug bag! I love it so much. It was so fun to start this project by weaving the strap. I dyed the fabric and yarn, wove the strap, and hand stitched the front details.

The author's brazen fetish, presented with such hedonistic flair and and open pride it makes you feel a little embarassed for needing to hide your own passions behind self-effacing jokes in order to preserve a sense of safe, pseudo-ironic detachment

deeply annoying that creative breakthroughs don’t come on schedule from direct work but from things like “open-ended conversations with interesting people” and “doing nothing”

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page

Incredible things happening at OpenAI per @theinformation.com. Sam Altman is rushing the company toward IPO despite his CFO’s concerns about compute spend and revenue growth. Now Sam Altman is leaving her out of financial planning for compute. Perfect! www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...
The Takeaway
→ OpenAl is committing billions of dollars years in advance to help finance data centers.
→ Friar last year began reporting to the head of applications instead of to Altman.
→ Altman has excluded her from some conversations related to financial plans.
I Powered by Deep ResearchThose people said Altman has excluded her from some conversations related to the company's financial plans. For instance, in recent months he left Friar out of a conversation about server spending with leaders at one of OpenAl's top investors, one of these people said. Her absence was noticeable and awkward,
given that a previous conversation on the same topic included her, according to an attendee.
A different person who attended a senior-level meeting at OpenAI with Altman earlier this year said it was unusual that Friar was not invited, as it involved a discussion of major financial decisions.She told some colleagues earlier this year that she didn't believe the company would be ready to go public in 2026, because of the procedural and organizational work needed and the risks from its spending commitments, according to a person who spoke to her. She said she wasn't sure yet whether OpenAI would need to pour so much money into obtaining AI servers in the coming years or whether its revenue growth, which has been slowing, would support the commitments, said the person who spoke to her.

In a fair fight it will win.
