You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

So many people fail the most basic "are you a minimally decent human?" and then are shocked and angry at not being treated with deference by others. You reap what you sow, you fucker. (them, not you, obvs)

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

So many people just keep saying that Covid is over and so it’s time to move on, and yet the wastewater data just keeps saying that Covid is over here that Covid is over there and that Covid is moving on from one person to another.

Discworld QOTD, from Wintersmith

It was lonely on the hill, and cold. And all you could do was keep going. You could scream, cry, and stamp your feet, but apart from making you feel warmer, it wouldn’t do any good. You could say it was unfair, and that was true, but the universe didn’t care because it didn’t know what “fair” meant. That was the big problem about being a witch. It was up to you. It was always up to you.

According to a CDC report around 71.5% of adults in the US “experienced fatigue on multiple days over the past three months,” and while I know that people are tired of hearing about Covid, it’s worth noting that one of Covid’s lasting impacts is persistent fatigue.

Amtrak didn’t tell us about this exposure, so heads up: if you took an Amtrak train last week through Chicago or anywhere on the Southwest Chief, Coast Starlight, or California Zephyr routes like we did, you may have been exposed to measles! Please let the train people in your life know about this

I didn't hold back. These centers are a blight on higher education and we should say so. dailyiowan.com/2026/09/15/u...

“Center for Intellectual Freedom is a really Orwellian name because they’re forcing mandatory classes on students who don’t want it,” Ray said. “Just as a matter of pure consistency, if closing African American Studies was just a financial decision, the center should be closed.” Ray said universities do a better job fostering free thought than any other institution — including churches, workplaces, and the military.

“You can say and do things at universities that you cannot do anywhere else,” he said. “So the notion that universities are a problem when it comes to free speech is just a lie.”

For me the worst is when it offers to summarize the latest chats with friends. Um, no. I am talking to people I like. I want to read all 57 messages in this thread; that's the point. Even if I've been away for two weeks, AI doesn't know what I think the important bits are.
