Moments like this I'm starkly reminded that I've had otherworldly luck in healthcare providers. My family doc, my endo, my surgeon; not a single one of them has done anything untoward, or been anything less than absolutely professional with me. That should be the norm, not the exception.

Arguing that you can't believe in rehabilitation as a process if you don't trust rapists who claim they've rehabbed is rape apologia, and quite fucking frankly, I think that a fucking attorney should know better.

Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.
The image is a six panel black and white comic. 

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard. 

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted 

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang

I'm actively enraged that everyone allows them to just go around saying this shit like they shouldn't go directly to jail for unthinkable crimes if any of it is true and also go directly to jail for unthinkable fraud if it's not.

Gut reaction: this man is a horrific shell of what a human should be, and his lack of interest in his three-day old(?) child is nauseating. Further consideration: his child is probably better off having as little interaction with a person so brain-rotted, and his wife should file for divorce.

unpopular writing advice but sometimes you need to let your brain be tempted by the shiny new idea. sometimes that shiny new idea serves to distract your brain so it can work, without you messing it up, to figure out whatever you’re stuck on in your main project.

Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI. This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying
Use of artificial intelligence
By registering with ISBN Canada, you declare that your book was created by a human author. You may use AI tools only for limited support tasks, such as brainstorming ideas, checking grammar, or formatting your book. You must not use AI to generate the text, create the artwork, or translate the book. ISBN Canada does not issue ISBNs for works whose content is primarily generated by AI.

it pisses me off seeing that sort of thing because wrt geller it is all hypothetical. you don't know what he's done growth and change-wise and anything else, you only have his account of things. the victim obviously isn't obligated to speak up. taking him at his word is very naive

It is bad for real research, but useful for programming and data manipulation. No real researcher should be using LLMS for search, summaries, or writing. They are antithetical to serious research, in part because they just make stuff up.

On Jacob Geller
I'm aware of the rape allegations against Jacob Geller, as well as the fact that his name is on a court-ordered list of UNC students disciplined for sexual violence. I've hesitated on whether to post anything about it, because the victim hasn’t been identified and I don’t want to participate in a retraumatizing conversation against their wishes. At the same time, as someone who has collaborated with Jacob Geller, I do not want my silence to be taken as endorsement.

For my part, I did not know about this and I wish I had. What justice and repair look like in cases like these are for the victim to decide, and I do not know their wishes or what accountability processes, if any, took place. However, strictly on a personal level, I’m uncomfortable having collaborated with someone who has presented himself as a nonthreatening feminist without ever disclosing his history of sexual violence to me or any other colleagues I’ve spoken to. I have no intention of ever working with Geller again. Beyond that, the person this happened to ought to be the ultimate authority on what happens next, and how they wish to tell their story if at all.

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.
