🧵1/ For years, I’ve been trying to articulate my most basic tenet of editing, which I always practice as an editor, but which very few editors practice with me:

I now name it the 90/10 rule, and I try to practice it on the micro and macro levels.

A dinner roll that springs open in the oven like a fan with buttery pull-apart segments looks fancy but is so simple to make. I hope you get obsessed with them, too.

Probably not the best way to start the day but I am ranting on Instagram
A screenshot of an instagram comment from user @moonjam3d. The text reads: "I completely disagree that AI is here to stay. Firstly, it's a weirdly passive aggressive stance that frames naysayers as people who have their heads buried in the sand on this stuff and honestly, the opposite is much, much closer to the truth. There isn't a *single* generative LLM model out there that isn't trained on BILLIONS of copywritten work - the tech literally cannot function without it BUT for some reason, this talking point just gets rolled up and pushed into a barrel labelled "luddite". It's insane to me that people brush that off as a minor hurdle. IP and rights management are the cornerstones of earning a living through creative work! The fact is, I LOVE learning and using new technology! It's exciting and rewarding but that's also how I know AI is not what it's purporting to be, at all. Please, take 20 minutes out of your day and read the reporting of Ed Zitron on the true state of the AI 'industry'. It is physically, legally and financially impossible for these companies to exist! Not only are they running at a loss of BILLIONS, they are all facing the legal consequences of selling a commercial product trained on rights protected material. Even if those chickens don't come home to roost, the fees they will need to charge to turn this into a profitable investment are astronomical... AI seems fun when it's basically free, but would you feel the same way if EVERY output cost you $20-$30? Just like crypto, the people pushing it hardest are the ones with the most to lose when the bubble bursts."

I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.

What if, when you melt the butter for stuffing, you cook a little jalapeño in it
or poblano
idk
just a lil heat in your stuffing.

brought to you by someone who lives outside the Thanksgiving Zone and yet is thinking of doing a white bread run so we can eat stuffing tomorrow.

The rain flooded my tent, and now we're freezing to death. There's no warm mattress or tent; everything is wet, even our clothes. We sleep with the rain pouring down on our heads. Please help me and my children to protect us from the rain. I beg you, please donate.😭😭

It's the end of the year, which means everyone is holding a fundraiser, and I am no exception, lmao.

I have some goals that I'm still working on meeting through the end of 2026. Help me get to 1000 subs and I will personally fight your boss👊 (jokes, jokes...)
This holiday season, I'm passing the hat
A plea for sustained support.

Intended to bolster local access to lending, large credit unions today are swallowing up community banks. A Trump purge has reduced their oversight.

...I have just seen someone saying "servicemembers should refuse orders...that clearly violate the constitution" and while I agree, there is a distinct messaging problem here. Friends, SCOTUS often can't agree on what violates the constitution. You want 22yo business majors to figure it out???
