Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of John Coltrane. To mark it we have selected a number of essays and reviews from back issues of The Wire going back over 40 years, all attempting to come to an understanding of the meaning and significance of Coltrane’s life and music.

I was excited about having two poems out this week. This morning, I saw that the journal has disappeared. Feeling defeated. The poems are in limbo (for now) and I haven't written anything new in months.

Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

One of the (many) reasons I think people are so anti-AI is that it’s a gratuitous display of wealth inequality. The average person’s life is difficult, expensive, and getting any kind of loan sucks - unless you’re raising billions of dollars to build an AI data center.

What I am pointing out is that unless you are at home in the metaphor, unless you have had your proper poetical education in the metaphor, you are not safe anywhere. Because you are not at ease with figurative values…You are not safe in science; you are not safe in history. Robert Frost

Robert Frost on metaphor: What I am pointing out is that unless you are at home in the metaphor, unless you have had your proper poetical education in the metaphor, you are not safe anywhere. Because you are not at ease with figurative values: you don't know the metaphor in its strength and its weakness. You don't know how far you may expect to ride it and when it may break down with you.
You are not safe in science; you are not safe in history. In history, for in-stance-to show that is the same in history as elsewhere—I heard somebody say yesterday that Aeneas was to be likened unto (those words,
"likened
unto"! George Washington. He was that type of national hero, the middle-class man, not thinking of being a hero at all, bent on building the future, bent on his children, his descendants. A good metaphor, as far as it goes, and you must know how far. And then he added that Odysseus should be likened unto Theodore Roosevelt. I don't think that is so good. Someone visiting Gibbon at the point of death said he was the same Gibbon as of old, still at his parallels.
Take the way we have been led into our present position morally, the world over. It is by a sort of metaphorical gradient. There is a kind of think-ing-to speak metaphorically—there is a kind of thinking you might say was endemic in the brothel. It is always there. And every now and then in some mysterious way it becomes epidemic in the world. And how does it do so? By using all the good words that virtue has invented to maintain virtue. It uses honesty, first,-frankness, sincerity-those words; picks them up, uses them.
"In the name of honesty, let us see what we are." You know. And then it picks up the word joy. "Let us in the name of joy, which is the enemy of our ancestors, the Puritans... Let us in the name of joy, which is the enemy of the kill-joy Puritan..." You see. "Let us," and so on. And then, "In the name of health..." Health is another good word. And that is the metaphor Freudianism trades on, …

Quakers often look for ways to teach young Friends and integrate them into the existing structure of a meeting. Sometimes, though, young Quakers following leadings to initiate ministries encounter resistance from adults who question whether they have enough commitment, knowledge, or life experience.

Why does it bother me when a manager or the CEO of my employer boasts about using Copilot to write their emails? This. This is why

A post by "rederiswrites" (with a photo of who I assume is Adam Conover in the background) that reads: "Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is *rude*.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't be bothered to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude."
