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 Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah is a great fantasy novel. Don’t know if it’s intended for younger audiences but I don’t remember anything that should prevent a younger reader from enjoying it.

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.

I feel like it’s a lot easier to like the idea of ai when it is “nebulous concept of a human made consciousness from inorganic origins” which is broadly cool and could have a lot of cool applications and ai now which is being conceived and used in a particular way even optimists have to content with

O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? (2000) DP: Roger Deakins

Still from O Brother Where Art Thou?; three 'sirens' bathing in a river in Mississippi, surrounded by lush trees.

Still from O Brother Where Art Thou?; a policeman with a shotgun in silhouette in the golden beam of light pouring into a dim hall through open doors. Faceless in the dark, an ogre.

Still from O Brother Where Art Thou?; A lightning-lit branch blue-white like a bolt of lightning against black sky.

Still from O Brother Where Art Thou?; three men in the foreground of the frame, from behind, peering through bushes at an enclosure in a wooded area at night, eerily lit by flaming torches and a burning cross--in the enclosure are rings of white-robed dancing Klansmen.

My hot take on the movie is I interpreted Robert Pattinson’s character as lying / making up his worst thing, because he doesn’t actually clue into the things he does to hurt people. Absolutely a case of someone has a lifelong grudge against him and he doesn’t even remember what he did.

Pippa @russellwrites.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I personally agree that the important thing is she a) didn’t do it and b) worked really hard to become a person who wouldn’t ever be in that headspace again. The other character has not had a fraction of that self reflection.

Pippa @russellwrites.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I think it wants you to question how far the idea that thought crimes aren’t real crimes goes in interpersonal relationships, and is an interesting litmus test for the different ways people view morality. I mean it’s a much more extreme version of something like does emotional cheating count?

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.
