my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

I can say from experience that having a print copy of the Onion around the house conveys an aura of class and distinction. It says: "We are patrons of quality journalism and high art."

I parked a block away from the Trader Joe’s to walk past the people fighting for spots designed like Austin Powers’ teeth. I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

It’d be exciting to think that Bluesky has people pretending to be American like Twitter but I honestly don’t think they could talk about Star Trek Deep Space 9 the way it’s expected here without having watched all the episodes a dozen times

This is a great list, but it's insane to me that there are no animated movies on it. SOUTH PARK: BLU, MITCHELLS VS THE MACHINES, SHREK, FANTASTIC MR. FOX, WALLACE AND GROMIT, LEGO, CLOUDY, DESPICABLE ME, ROGER RABBIT, there are so many.

in addition to all of his experience, in 2011 someone tried to assassinate kelly's wife, former congresswoman gabby giffords. no way he's cowing to these ass clowns.
Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."
