A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

the problem isnt AI so much as it is how AI intersects with everything else at the moment (across the spectrum! ecologically etc). its actually pretty good at doing a lot of braindead bullshit email jobs. the problem is you are injecting that into a broken society with mostly braindead bullshit jobs

If anyone in the local beverage industry knows who is making this Rodney’s Oyster House Caesar RTD (regular or spicy), I’d love to know. It’s important for the West Coast to produce a competitive premium Caesar RTD because the best we have is Matt and Steve’s from Ontario, which I do recommend.

Reason #586 why I will never get rich running a craft brewery: I just signed a lease renewal that puts us on the hook for a million dollars of rent over the next five years This brewery has been very profitable for my landlord and the provincial government As long as they're doing well, I'm happy
