K-Pop Demon Hunters was a delight. A musical! Enemies to lovers! Watched it while sitting in front of the A/C, sipping a spritz.

My dreams are coming true.
Dave Bautista will finally star in his own rom-com ‘THE ROMANTIC’ after wishing to star in one for years.
The film follows a man who is secretly a romance author named Francine, but he must hire a woman to pose as him at a convention to avoid scrutiny.

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.
Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.
It's all fun and games until …
"Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC #ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries."

VERY EHD LUFFS BEH
It’s is spring break and I’m attempting to break out of my reading rut by finally dipping my blue ridged toe into the Ice Planet Barbarians series. So far it reminds me of Transcendence, in the best way, complete with its very own version of Ehd Luffs Beh.

If you find the media to be soulless poor quality slop just know that’s what the studios and financiers think of you as a consumer.
They think you’re gullible enough to eat shit as long as they wrap it in shiny enough packaging.

Do not expect the institutions to hold. Anyone who is citing law or policy as a reason why Trump can’t or won’t do X, Y, Z is either delusional themselves, or an institutionalist—whether by belief or necessity because of their job— and is not to be trusted.
