Well-sourced, eye-opening (but in hindsight, unsurprising) piece from Adam. The main use of AI by publishers appears to be publicity/marketing. I would like to explain why this is a bad use from the perspective of someone who gets pitched dozens of books a week for coverage.

I had an amazing time at my first Capclave over the weekend. The organizers and all of the WSFA members and volunteers were so welcoming, the panels were intimate and the panelists thoughtful, and the overall vibe was incredibly positive. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s been considering going!

This is my first time setting up a Gofundme, but the situation is dire. Mikey is one of my dearest friends, one of the first people who adopted me when I moved to NYC, and one of the people who has supported me through thick and thin. If you can’t donate, please share! I would appreciate it so much.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

This is why community organizing is an important piece in protesting: If every person who showed up to the No Kings protest last month was given a tangible task to contact their rep to vote against this, we’d have a real shot at scaring reps in places like TX.

As someone who works at a company that has already done this, it's not about effectiveness, it's about power and control. They will not change until forced to by the workers. Do not waste your time trying to debate them, use your energy to organize with your coworkers in unions instead.

So, this is one of my favorite poems (though honestly all of Benet’s Nightmare poems are pretty dope.) Even though it’s 90 years old this year, it’s been on my mind a lot lately for… oh, no reason. For my money, a masterwork in spec, horror, and satirical poetry.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

What is the point of being human if you need a computer algorithm to express what it’s like. It breaks my fucking heart that we have become so disassociated from ourselves and the unlikely, possibly unique in the universe, gift of our consciousness that ChatGPT is an actual temptation for people.

Worth sharing with alt text. Brian Eno's response to the Quaker arrests.

Brian Eno 2h. On the Arrest of Young People at a Quaker Meeting House Last night, six young people were arrested by police during a peaceful gathering at a Quaker Meeting House. They had assembled to talk, reflect, and organise around two issues of overwhelming moral gravity: the climate emergency, and the continuing destruction in Gaza. That the police chose to forcibly enter a Quaker space-a site known throughout history for its deep commitment to peace and nonviolence—is both alarming and telling. These young people were not disrupting the peace. They were enacting it. We live in a time where the greatest threats to our future go unchallenged by those in power, while those who speak out are increasingly met with suspicion, hostility, and force. When the state begins to treat moral concern as criminal intent, we should all be paying close attention. The people arrested last night were not extremists. They were citizens who care-young people who see the interconnected crises of climate collapse and human suffering and refuse to turn away. They gathered not in violent defiance, but in peaceful conscience. I stand with them. I believe their voices are not only valid, but vital. If the institutions meant to protect us cannot bear to hear these voices, then it is not the protesters who are disrupting order—it is the silence of those who look away. - Brian Eno
