Surprising to find this intuition in myself (I never would have predicted I thought this), but the major discovery of the AI era for me is there's a huge group of things (art, scholarship, etc) that I literally only care about if a human being makes it

And it wasn't the first thing media that scared me, but I have to shout out Cleveland's WUAB Channel 43 that would run a "creepy crawly" b-movie week every year. The movie "Tarantulas: The Deady Cargo" is STILL in my brain every time I reach into the bin to grab a bunch of bananas

The Electric Company had this crazy animation where a monolith crumbled in front of a bunch of little purple aliens. It wasn't the animation that scared me; it was the use of Straus' "Also sprach Zarathustra" that made me run and hide behind the sofa. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY0G...

Ok yes; the answer is stupid and the woman is ignorant about what is happening But can we talk about how that “reporter” had to twist herself into knots trying to ask any question that will make a Trump look like anything other than a completely incompetent nut job?

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

If you watched Mark Carney’s speech to European Parliament today and you were moved by the story of Leslie Miller bringing acorns back from Vimy and planting them in Canada, you can read even more of his story in his recently published diaries.

Publishers: “Short stories don’t sell and are impossible to market so we are not going to take the risk of publishing them.” Also publishers: “What can we publish to fit this era of reduced attention spans when people are reading fewer novels?”

At least you got a compliment on your "sharp and chilling" framing! (I mean, it is both sharp and chilling, it's just that the sentence is so damn funny.)

This is an excellent article about what ICE is doing in Key West with its mass detentions and cruelty. Friends of mine are volunteering for the Immigrant Support Network there, and they are heartbroken about what their home town has become.

For some reason when my husband is not home for a few days I become that little girl from Signs and I leave my half filled glasses of water all over the place I don’t know why I only do it when he is not here, maybe I sense that I am more susceptible to alien abduction when I am alone

Unsolicited Writing Advice, no. 20: We do so many things mindlessly: background music; scrolling; TV; eating and drinking without really thinking what we're doing. Stop for a minute. Go for a walk. Leave your phone behind. Find some greenery. Listen. Breathe. Feel. Reconnect. The WIP will thank you.

My brother saw Dolly Parton 10 years ago from the cheap seats and sent me this picture. She was sparkling with so many sequins and rhinestones that she shows up in the photo as a glowing orb. I am so sad that we have to live without her literal brilliance

The United States and Canada have been friends, partners, and allies for more than 150 years across 32 presidential administrations. And now, solely because of the arrogance, incompetence, and ego of the current occupant of the White House, that relationship is being driven straight toward a cliff.

The whole world needs to stand up to this narcissistic bully and criminal, who literally doesn’t care that he’s imploding the US economy and dragging the global economy down with him. As a matter of fact, that may very well be his intent.
