This piece anthropomorphizes AI far too much, but the underlying problem is such a poetic FAFO to all those toxic “leaders” rushing to jam this stuff into every corner of their business.

This is not going to end well for *anybody*. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

So proud of this great nation /s 🤦🏼

I did one of those things to my lower back that happens for no reason when you’re in your 40s and it makes me want to curl up and die 😭

Spring is on its way! Also, I hate the weird AI lens blur pattern on the iPhone camera! #photography #bloomscrolling

This is one of the better primers on graphic design for book covers that I’ve seen.

I started playing Pokémon Scarlet (yes yes I know I’m late) and I uh… I kind of love it? I’ve always bounced off Pokémon games before (except for PoGo, for a while anyway) but something about this one is clicking.

My Hobonichi Techo day planner has quotes on each spread, and sometimes they’re super on point.

I found this piece on comparison quite insightful for both writers and editors alike. dearheadofmine.substack.com/p/the-diseas... #writingcommunity #writing #editing

Since switching from Android to iPhone (a change unfortunately forced by circumstance) the most frustrating thing has been the frequency with which I tap a control and it does its little “pressed” animation but then has no actual function until I try again. YOU KNOW I TAPPED IT. WTF.

Oh look, a pitch-perfect articulation of my whole creative outlook these days: “Even though reason later softens that rage, it is essential that rage is recorded, for how else can future generations understand the revulsion that swept the country?”

The Ocean Guys drop will go live in my shop tomorrow (Sunday March 8) at 2pm PST! Each of these figurines is releasing with limited edition colors, after this batch they won’t be reproduced. Shop here: www.hannahcomstock.com

Nobel Prize For Titles. Right away.

Gas prices at $7/gal and reinstituting the draft is about the only think I can think of that will unite this fucked up America. We keep yelling about death and sadism, forgetting that there's a substantial number of people here who not only don't care, but who actively wanted to build this world.

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.

This happened. The print interview was edited in ways that feel very jumpy, but I got to say some things. Like: Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war. Too many people still expect it to look like war. [and then there's a crazy jump-cut w/out transition.]

Oh hell yeah, this is so my jam

“One cannot understand the Iran War without understanding the Kahanists. But I rarely see analysts mention them. Maybe they did, and it was behind a paywall. If a war crime is subscription-only, does it make a sound? Is that sound a stifled scream?” sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-no-wor...

We chose to publish ACCELERATED GROWTH ENVIRONMENT for a whole bunch of reasons, not the least of which is it's a damn good book. Grab your copy at shirakipress.com/age or look for it at your favorite book retailer! #SmallPress #ScienceFiction #solarpunk #booksky

tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety. venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars. child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me. mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed. mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

'The Offering' by Lithuanian artist MK Ciurlionis (1875-1911) who was considered a pioneer of abstract art in Europe. His subject matter was often enigmatic & esoteric with a suggestion of art nouveau & has lost none of its curious appeal with the passing of time.

We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Yeah so if you think typing syntax into the editor is an engineer’s primary time sink then I’m sorry to inform you that you’re a bad engineer

Part of the disconnect is of course that techbros insist that a total revolution in the way that software is made is taking place, but anyone who uses software can observe that software continues to suck more than ever before

This thread is art

“I have usernames older than you.”. Holy shit

I don't particularly love poetry, so it says something that I was inspired to write this by the galling depravity of one tiny little man. joshsutphin.com/fiction/the-...

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!" counterpoint! the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Wrong again, dumbass
