In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Also screw the BBC for its naked agenda. It refused to carry a hugely expensive first ever YouGov survey we commissioned showing how awful trans lives in the UK have become because it was "not strong enough" but there's no piece of anti-trans hatred too petty for it to platform.

AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

One of the weirdest parts of this error--that I imagine is incomprehensible to younger generations--was the "smoking section" that was supposed to isolate smokers but was normally just... right next to the non-smoking section as if smoke doesn't waft.
this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

As plenty of women have always known, it’s easy to sucker a man with a big ego into pretty much anything you want if you just let him bang on about his obsessions, flatter him, and don’t let your own personality intrude.

Also just tapping the sign again — A.I. eliminates the opportunity for creative discovery on your way to the destination you *thought* you wanted. You’re making art, process is everything.
placeholder art is supposed to look like this. you're supposed to make it in 5 seconds.
it's a crucial part of the process because a placeholder will often be remarkably similar to the final art/text, because you were unburdened by bigger details when you made it.

Today is the birthday of cartoonist and illustrator Emma C. McKean (Dec. 16, 1907-March 7, 1992). With New Comics #1 (December 1935), she became the first woman to contribute original comic material to an American comic book. (Some had contributed text pages but not actual comics.)
