Well, I managed some writing at least, my Gore workshop piece which is only really horrifying if you've ever worked retail at Christmas. But it's better than nothing.

It's time for slower art. The constant churn and grind pushed by techno capitalism has reached its inevitable conclusion with AI slop. Let's make our best work and be patient with our process. Let's release art that's worth stopping for and savoring. Let's show each other what humans can do

The exclusion of trans people from public and academic spaces, removal of protections by human rights institutions, dehumanising language used by state news media, judicial tolerance of trans directed hate crime, withdrawal of medical care: all of this is very familiar to genocide scholars.
Trans scholars being ‘pushed out of academia’, researchers warn
Universities ‘afraid to be trans inclusive’ after Supreme Court ruling and OfS Sussex fine, leaving staff fearing ‘hostile environment’

So, last night I woke up at 4:30am. Tried to get back to sleep for about an hour, failed. Went downstairs to read a bit and drink some chamomile tea to sea if it'd help. As soon as I got downstairs I was sick into the sink. Went back to bed about half six. Still awake when spouses alarm went off.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

I am good at VERY tasty slop. Every time I make a tasty slop out of cheap meat and some sad wilting vegetables I found in the back of the fridge I feel my proud peasant ancestors cheering. If I have it with some sturdy, wholesome bread so much the better
I am planning yet another meal of delicious, cheap, mostly brown slop
(sausages and bacon with lots of veg stew)

Maybe it's because I've been around writers for too long but what in the world is it about this job that makes people want to claim it if not the writing? Everything else about it miserable! Writing is literally the only thing that makes this fuck ass job worth doing! I just do not get it.

I just think that if you neither have any ideas nor the drive to write them, you may not have what it takes to be a writer.
It’s always just so funny to me that AI using “writers“ often defend it with but how else are you meant to come up with ideas?? Like that’s what tells you that you weren’t really meant to be a writer, you have none.

literally every professional and hobby writer I know will tell you they have a million and one ideas and never enough time to write them. these weaselly talentless hacks are saying that their brains are full of mush. thirteen year olds with wattpad accounts are worth a hundred of those guys.

Maigret and Van der Valk are men with stable, even boring, home lives. They come into other people's chaos and sort it out. Then go back for dinner, once it's all settled.
my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides
