What the fuck, Joyce. I don’t even read romance novels but this kind of thinking pisses me the fuck off. It further pushes that mentality that some books as “lesser” which is bullshit! All books count!

Joyce Carol Oates
This is why Al-generated romance novels make perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak; what difference does it make if a machine "writes" it? There are machine-made clothes & there are custom-made clothes. They appeal to different consumers.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Yes, this exactly. I am not interested in wasting my life reading hollow madlibs trash. I want to read a story created & written entirely by a human mind.

When I was a tiny child in the early 80s, there was an anime I watched that my parents referred to as "Portlanders in Space" and I have no idea what it was actually called. But that was my first anime show.

the concept of "existing in a bubble" & that being a shameful, bad thing to correct, is brought to you by the same people trying to convince you to stop knowing how to read or do math because they have built a bot that does both things badly for you.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Speaking of coffee interviews, I overheard what I thought was an interview at a coffee shop & 1 person was like "my weakness is that I'm TOO passionate" but THEN they said "what about you? what's your biggest weakness?" and I am asking that at my next job interview for SURE.

I wonder what would happen to american car culture if suddenly there were NO gas station signs beckoning from the highway and you had to download an app for each chain, and when you got there half the pumps were broken and sometimes they wouldn't work for your car & there were no amenities anywhere

020

All of these are real examples that happened to me on one trip from SF to LA. 🫠 That's not to mention all of the times I have been directed to a car dealership completely unrelated to my car, a gated apartment parking lot, or an empty corporate park.

We're promised EV chargers everywhere & in reality it's like "ok now that you've downloaded 5 different apps you can choose between a broken chargepoint in a mall parking lot, a whole foods charger with a gas car parked at it, or you can try your luck at this electrify america behind the denny's

Conor Mahood @conorvoice.com · 25/09/2026

I have driven a non-Tesla EV for the past 3 years and the infrastructure is ABYSMAL. We are never going to see widespread adoption until it is as easy to find a charging station *without an app subscription* as it is to find a gas station on a road trip.

I'm experiencing the same thing. This week I got a spam email that not only got my name completely wrong, it confused the name of my website for the name of my upcoming book and then hallucinated a BUNCH of stuff for a 2 page rambling synopsis of what my website book was about.

When you write that Gene Wilder "lives on," can you point to which part, specifically, of the actual deceased human being has been resurrected? Or did you perhaps mean to write "the beloved comedian is being grotesquely impersonated by a computer program, built by programmers, for money."
