My stance on AI feels increasingly like “old person shakes their fist at the sky,” but I’ll say it again—if you can’t be bothered to write the email, read the long article, think through a recipe, then what the hell are we doing here?? Use your beautiful human brain and save some water!

Genuine question: I'm just over 100 pages into Stephen King's 1300-page behemoth The Stand... is it worth it?
Possibly relevant: I've not read any King before (except On Writing). Picked it up because I like a dystopia with religious themes.

Why did this poignant, tragic novel have to end with a discussion of quantum mechanics? Why???

This is how you become a writer: You have to love writing but it does not mean it will be enjoyable or make you happy. Accept that you will probably not make money. If any of these ever align in any slot machine like combo, live más.

Spent much of today working on a playlist that vibes with my novel, and much like my novel, I spent most of the time going “how do I make these things fit together???”
Anyway, if you like projects inspired by southern gospel music and afrofuturism (among other things), stay tuned.
