It was exactly ten years ago today, on my 33rd birthday, that I posted this comic online.

Noting this for the record. Just in case. I wrote the first book of my trilogy (which should eventually become four) from 2005 to 2009. I drafted a short prequel between February and December 2023. As for the longer sequel, I started my first draft in December 2008, and finished it 9 minutes ago.

Good article on AI and translation by Oltermann here, with good examples. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

‘Being human helps’: despite rise of AI is there still hope for Europe’s translators?
A booming tech sector has disrupted translation jobs in publishing – but they could be needed for a while longer yet

There is no one key to a good life, but, If I do say, YAOURT AUX MYRTILLES that is, YOGUR DE ARÁNDANOS, the yoghurt of the myrtillus, the blaeberry is possibly it. Also, probably winning the lottery.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

"stick to menswear"
Alex on twitter writes: "Someone on Twitter writes: "You’re a menswear writer. You don’t know anything about manufacturing in America, or steel mills, or metallurgy, or CNC machining, or how anything is produced from raw material into a finished product in this country or anywhere. Stick to writing about “men’s fashion.""

I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?"

Alex replies: "Gobelin machinery? What exactly are you referring to?"

I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"

New York Magazine reports on the menswear happenings inside the US Dept of Defense, including Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff, Joe Kasper
Text says: "Kasper did not, for the first six weeks, wear a tie. He sometimes failed to wear socks, which struck some inside the Pentagon as unprofessional. (“Rare for me to wear no socks! It’s gotta be the right shoe, man. There are people in there wearing SpongeBob socks.”) He used large vocabulary words other officials were not sure he knew the meanings of, words such as supposition. (“I don’t pretend to be a Rhodes scholar,” he says in his defense, adding that he has never used the word supposition. “Innocuous means harmless. Banal means boring. Indigenous means local. Constituent means something.”) Kasper was the kind of “bro vet” to whom Hegseth gravitated, whereas Caldwell could be stiff, oddly formal; he called Hegseth, a man he had known for more than a decade, “Mr. Secretary.” Kasper shared few of Caldwell’s convictions about American foreign policy, but he had constant access to Hegseth, a commodity for which various factions of the office were now competing. For some, the tension was immediate. “I knew he was a moron,” Colin Carroll tells me, “within 30 seconds of meeting him.”

Why did you give that a wow react? Because I found the fact that you related to be remarkable and somewhat surprising.
