With AI, the need for humans to write and edit copy is a thig of the past.

See…a humanities degree helps you realize that “Cat’s in the Cradle” isn’t a guide to successful parenting.

For The New York Times, I wrote about how Rod Serling create The Twilight Zone in part because it was the only way in the 1950 and 60s for him to comment on the subjects he cared about most, and how that's a good blueprint for contemporary media to deal with our surreal current moment:

With “The Twilight Zone,” Rod Serling created a durable blueprint for understanding our surreal reality.

On the off chance you're ever back there, check out the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. Not only is there some truly stuff (Booker T's organ, one of the original recording consoles, isaac Hayes' custom Caddy), it's a really well designed and interactive space. There's a Soul Train dance floor!

the tech bro who uses AI to play fantasy football for him is being dragged online. no one has ever been quite so mad frankly.
"but you've automated your hobby"
...
no, fantasy football is not my hobby. it's more of a social obligation.
my actual hobbies are gainful and awesome and mostly involve being outside. not fixating on team news and sportsball RNG. i have more time to do them because I use Al for all the boring stuff in my life.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

This isn’t AI. My cousin Braycen was torn apart by Havana syndrome which is why he’s in his coffin in “chunks”. The ugly “boy” in the (real) photo isn’t his son; it’s a full grown small intruder man who ran off with the head & ate it behind the funeral home. RT to salute 🫡 🇺🇸

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

UPDATE: Netflix has renewed "A Different World!" That's such a great opportunity for the show and the writers, and I hope it gives them the vote of confidence to be even more ambitious next season. (And also to ditch that god-awful color grading, PLEASE 😩)

'A Different World' spends too much time mining nostalgia
Don't blame critics for identifying flaws. It's part of the job.

1/19 Eleven years after a church picnic in New York killed a thousand people, a company picnic in Chicago killed 844 more. The ship never left the wharf. She rolled over while the band was playing, in twenty feet of water, six metres from the bank. The SS Eastland. A 🧵. #maritimehistory

I recognise that bird! It’s the sausage-addicted kookaburra
real life
Sausage-addicted kookaburra too fat to fly
Story summary:
• Bird became fat on BBQ handouts
• Too fat to escape manling by dogs
• She weighed a whopping 540g
TOO many tasty sausages almost killed this kookaburra.
But health worries weren't the threat. She became so obese from barbecue handouts she could not fly when attacked by dogs in a Mosman park.
After weighing in at 540g. 40 per cent heavier than a typical adult bird, the kookaburra has been sent to bird boot camp to shed weight, prompting Taronga Zoo to wam we are killing our wildlife with kindness.
