There’s a pronunciation of Greenwich that is specific to people who are from within about a two mile radius of it. I only learned of as an adult, having grown up 10 miles away.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I am doing the audio for No is Not a Lonely Utterance. My no is getting croaky but is coming out one way or another! I wrote a post collating 10 pieces (itself included) on g-c feminism & the broader anti-woke & anti-edi ideological landscape. Last for a bit. Solidarity! substack.com/home/post/p-...
