You all: your kids are ABSOLUTELY going to see it because even if you can manage block it in your household devices some other kid is going to show it to them on the bus or at lunch. Start talking now. Help them think about their own boundaries and how to assert them.

When you automate the Chortlemuffin Effect, it compounds each error exponentially. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

One barrier to bigger AI-induced gains is the technology’s tendency to produce “plausible-looking output” with weaknesses or mistakes that are not immediately apparent, explained Jessica Reif, assistant professor of management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

“This makes it more likely that an error propagates through a workflow instead of being immediately corrected,” which can cause problems to snowball, said Reif.

ok I think this weekend's travel got to me. Because we're about to leave, and all I can think about is: what if you rented a minimalist 'upmarket' hotel suite with a kitchen incl. fridge/freezer, and on the last day of your stay you decided to check the freezer & it contained--faces.

Goodnight from Annabel Dellaway, walking the Restal Waste to find a good spot to sink the Blood Sprite she’s trapped in a sulphur jar. Goodnight from Liv Draper, dreaming of the songs she will sing to the cherry-lipped girl who floats the paths of Tichnell Woods. Goodnight from Hookland.

Personal hobbyhorse, but thinking about AI in publishing is really making me want criticism to go harder on discussing the actual style & substance of books. If we just talk about plot & vibes, we're leaving the door totally open, & missing out on the good stuff besides. "It's just words on a page."

Copy vs original: a dog on a Sunday morning walk meets its sculptural replica, the latter a part of artist Camille Henrot's current Public Art Fund installation at southeastern corner of Central Park. Can you spot the difference?

Zoë Ryder White 💙 from THE VISIBLE FIELD (River River Books) I cannot get over how incredibly perfect this book is! @zoeryderwhite.bsky.social @riverriverbooks.bsky.social

Some sentences, some clauses, a word.

It took a long time to cross the room.
The room was so long.
The room had no ceiling because the house had no roof.
The floor was uneven.
Any round thing set on one side would roll to the other.
There was a collection of roundish objects to the left.
The windows were difficult to discern because there were no walls.
Some of us could hear the dead only as we started walking or just before we got there.
Others heard them all the time: singing, carrying on.
Below the floorboards, below the space below the floorboards: relics.
A cache of seeds and plastic.
Snow in a spilled globe.
The cast-off, spooned bones.
No longer necessary.
Necessary for such a short time.

They're exposing their actual business model here. Magazines don't make money and don't really have a platform in terms of access to a large audience—negligible eyeballs compared to yr average social media influencer—so why buy them? Because the asset isn't the readers, it's the writers.

This is pure bad faith from MRM—they are not new to this business and are perfectly aware this is all bullshit. These magazines essentially no longer exist: they were bought simply to use their reputations as a trap to suck IP out of writers and artists who don't know any better.

This is a great thread, and an excellent broad overview. I will note that a year's exclusivity on print rights is the upper edge. By sheer volume of markets who use it, 4 to 6 months exclusivity is the average. With carve outs for year's best/anthology reprints. Also, work-for-hire is tricky. ->

Good morning! I have two new poems in swamp pink! Here is “Present Tense”:

Present Tense

The flute is older than the wheel
and once was just
as everywhere: on your back
idling in some fescue meadow
or bent, picking over cobble
on a steel-gray shore or upright,
watching streams of wolves depart
a spent kill—you would hear it,
and it would carry you.
