I need the german word for the feeling of perpetually doing too much and not enough all at the same time.

one thing the ai era makes me miss is really shitty bespoke photoshops you used to get just the lowest effort garbage imaginable made by people who have opened the program three times in their entire life, but it had some charm to it and now they just generate the same bullshit as everyone else

Let me get this straight. Sometimes a famous person dies and everyone is nice about it? Merely because of their deeds during life?

I'll say this about Brand New Day: Batman is the superhero who is friends with cops. Spider-Man is friends with Robbie Robinson, a journalist. The cops and the Punisher should be shooting at him with guns not first name basis in his phone contacts.

Shaq’s Dunkman competition has been incredible. I’ve been to the last two group stages and this has been awesome because these dudes are showing what a dunk contest should be about. Pushing each other to the limits of creativity and athleticism and making it feel truly special.

A note on Royce White, the former NBA player who says he's entering the WNBA draft, a judge ruled he abused his wife and teenage son in an April court order and determined he could not have contact with either of them for 50 years. Great way to "protect women's sports" transphobes.

There are ways that being nice can hurt you in the world, but I will never ever not believe that one of the best things you can ever do for yourself in life is to try to be as nice and try to treat people as well as you possibly can at all times.

I liked the latest X-Men '97, but I'd have LOVED to see them have Sabertooth take that Adamantium for himself. Logan's healing factor was enough to counter the brood in the comics and we need some juice for a future confrontation.

My wife wrote about the struggle, the beauty of writing as opposed to AI, which has none of that. In Uppercase Magazine, #68. Entire quote in alt text.
"Because as difficult as the process of writing (or making anything at all) is, as it turns out, struggle is a fiercely vital component. It's the blood that carries the oxygen to the heart of the thing; it's what makes the work human. What we really stand to lose with AI is the GROWTH that happens in the midst of those sticky, uncomfortable places in between--when we would rather be doing anything else but fighting to find the right word, the right sound, colour, material or direction, when the process is brittle with uncertainty but we choose to push forward anyway. Like it or not, struggle, endlessly intertwined with the work, is what makes us who we are--not just as artists, but as human beings. Even as I write this, I am struggling. I am uncomfortable. I am desperate to wrap this thing up, to make it nice and tidy, and be done with it. But I also know that's not the way it works, and stranger still I am thankful for it. The creative process has always been difficult and messy, but AI turns it on its head, renders struggle virtually obsolete and leaves a much more devastating mess in its wake...the truth is that we lose freedom the minute we trade struggle for ease, when we opt for convenience over the very inconvenient act of pouring our own human selves into what we make. We can no longer truly claim it as ours, and reader, there is no magic button in the world worth the cost."

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

NBA teams were 4-750 when down by 20 or more in the 4th quarter of a playoff game over the last 30 years. They are now 5-750. Knicks come back from 20 in the fourth quarter, the second time they've come back from down 20 in the fourth THIS POSTSEASON.
