Love this

Re-enchant your life by making the mundane exciting. You're not going to CVS, you are visiting the apothecary to buy potions. You are not running an errand, you are doing a side quest. You are not feeding the birds, you are making an alliance with the crow queen.

Good morning

anyone who knew someone with pancreatic cancer knows how big of a deal this is

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

We lost a beloved family friend to pancreatic cancer. I dearly hope this research will go ahead, somehow, some way.

Google Starts Scanning All Your Photos As New Update Goes Live Google wants its AI to see all the photos of "you and your loved ones." Billions of users must now decide.

“Take a moment to think before you dive in. That’s the best advice for Google Photos users, as the company confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation.”

So if someone opts in, and has taken photos of friends, relatives, kids, even strangers, they’re “giving permission” on behalf of all those people. So lots of people have no say in this.

The whole “opt in” thing was always a charade but it’s approaching terminal nonsense at this point.

I'm new to the @alexfalcone.bsky.social train, but I am delighted by his informational and also hilarious videos, such as this glittering precious gem on AI --

"Is AI a scam yep?"

“Competence porn” 🔥🔥🔥

Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both

Things I do different as a writer in the age of AI:

use pictures of real people for character inspiration

double check stock photos for cover art are not AI

cancel Word, Wordrake, Grammarly because they use AI

submit to class action lawsuits

yell about AI

Things I don't change: my writing

As a reminder, ai cannot have the em dash

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS?

So this arrived today:

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Years ago, a writer friend was passing through on tour. I didn't know him that well, but I liked what I knew of him - and when he suggested that I join him (and the other writer touring with them) to hang and sign stock, I said "Sure, let's do it." So the three of us spent a day doing that. (1)
