You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Screen DW Griffith in class and you get a bunch of racist propaganda.
Screen Alice Guy pictures and you get a larcenous poodle with his purloined sausages.
The choice is yours.

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

I'm really worried that SCOTUS denying Kim Davis the chance to destroy marriage equality may lead to the dissolution of her fourth heterosexual marriage.
New: The Supreme Court DENIES Kim Davis' request to overturn Obergefell, the marriage equality decision. No noted dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.

Me watching "The Brides of Dracula" (Dir. Terence Fisher, 1960, UK):

My husband: 🤨
Me: "He beat Christopher Lee, and Christopher Lee knew what sound a man dying of a stab wound made."

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.
Not one.
To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

Writing a thing about Salem (again) & just to reiterate a thing I once said in a Monster of the Month talk:
50-90% of what we call the paranormal—from witchcraft to ghosts to what-have-you—can be explained by the fact that patriarchal cultures despise teenage girls & have no idea what to do w/them.
