I see that the Migraine Buddy app is posting erroneous medical content generated by LLM. How exactly does one take a photo of the floaters in the vitreous of their eye? #migraine #migrainebuddy
Capturing visual evidence of eye floaters during a migraine attack can also provide valuable information. Individuals can take photographs or videos of the floaters using a smartphone or other recording device. This visual evidence can assist healthcare providers in understanding the nature and characteristics of the floaters, further aiding in diagnosis and treatment decisions.

One thing I love about Moby Dick is that it's an incredible example of deep worldbuilding, but this note makes me realize I also probably enjoy it because it has a LOT to say about gender and masculinity.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

The Beetle by Richard Marsh was published the same year as Dracula and outsold it. It is a compact megapack of *every single thing* Victorian empire men were scared of, including but not limited to women,sex, homosexuality, foreigners, gender, race, the end of empire, old things, and new things.

NEW from me: Over the last 4 years, America has lost more than 200k jobs in creative fields like publishing, film, TV, or graphic design. It's the worst stretch for arts jobs outside of recessions. How much is AI to blame? And can the arts' business model survive?🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/ai-and-the...

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

I'd never seen this Roy Lichtenstein painting before, but it's incredible how he manages unfailingly to make his copies worse than the original comics he's ripping off.
A drab pop art painting of a sinister man driving a car, watching a stoic blonde in leopard print fur. The proportions of the guy's face are offThe original image, from Girls' Romances 78 by Tony Abruzzo. The guy has a more sinister leer, while the woman has heavier mascara and feels both sadder and more determined. A caption reads "I vowed to myself I would NOT miss my appointment -- that I would NOT go riding with him--yet before I knew it..."

So Think, Write, Edit, Romance has a lot about prose and a whole section on self-editing. In a moment of wild surmise, I asked the literal Final Boss copyeditor if he'd take a look at it. (When I said I was taking a punt on blurbs...) And he did, and this is some of what @bcdreyer.social said.
