The fact that we no longer use the letter þ is a thorn in my side.

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

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.”

I don’t know whether this is funny or not, but two things occurred to me: 1. Do you see the Mississippi T-shirt in the room right now? 2. This seems like some sort of David Lynch scenario.

I bought a bag a couple of weeks ago. They were glorious. I don’t understand why we don’t get them all year long. Also, pumpkin spice everything.

WHY DOES THE ALL-CAPS KEY EXIST ON MODERN KEYBOARDS? ALL-CAPS CAN JUST BE A FEATURE OF TEXT EDITORS, LIKE FONTS AND STYLES. ALSO, SOCIAL MEDIA SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY SUSPEND ACCOUNTS THAT POST ALL-CAPS MESSAGES. NO GOOD CAN COME FROM IT.

“The Venn diagram is a circle” means they’re the same. Okay, but what does it mean when it’s a square?
