Reading Jon Ronson’s new book and the best way to get a wikipedia page edited is to publicly complain about how it’s currently edited. just checked the wikipedia page he mentioned and the thing he complained about has been fixed with his book as a citation.

The new "Vote Karen Bass to finish the job" political ad is basically the "Don't Change Horses Midstream" ad from Wag the Dog and since I noticed that, it makes me laugh instead of annoys me. So I guess that's a plus.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Having written a TV show built on "deep dives on one bad rich guy per week" with one version 2008-2012 and another 2021-2025, I'll say that the OG evil rich guys were evil greedy assholes, and the new rich guys are mentally disordered perverts, and so do evil. And not the good kind of perverts.

They even made DoorDash apologize.
DoorDash on Instagram: We messed up.
Our mistakes meant some NYC Dashers were underpaid or paid late. That's unacceptable, and we're deeply sorry to the Dashers we let down.
We've reached a settlement with the City of New York, and we will make this right by paying every impacted Dasher the amounts they are owed.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

The reason it sometimes takes me so long to do a video and I switch ideas is because I do it all myself. Write it. Edit it. Research it. I do get help from HUMAN people on the journey but I enjoy the process overall and it’s also why we should remember to be mindful about how we reward “slop”

The very things he said in his defense told you who he was. The "can't people change" crowd never really addressed why he wasn't acting like someone who was ashamed of his actions, and instead was trying to imply that everyone else needed to be ashamed for asking the question.

In New York City, if you break our worker protection laws and shortchange your workers, we will make you pay back what you owe.
Yesterday, we recovered $2.3M for 1,600 workers from Walgreens, Calzedonia, and Kinship Coffee. Since January, we have recovered more than $10 million for New York City workers. Because our City is not a billionaire's playground.
New Yorkers have the right to a regular schedule and protected time off. If your employer violates our laws, file a complaint at nyc.gov/workers and we will fight to put money back in your pocket.

If we want more victims to come forward we have to make it so that coming forward is worth it. For far too many victims, it’s not worth it. For far too many victims, it’s like feeding yourself into a meat grinder.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.
