Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we canāt do things weāve been doing since the dawn of time.

The purpose of the executive class is to think of new ways to funnel money to the executive class. This may be too simplistic for some but prove me wrong. Itās been this way for as long as Iāve been alive.

"Horrible", "boring", and "cheap": Experts pan new chatbot NPCs, but some leave room for optimism
We speak to a collection of developers and AI experts about the potential impact of LLM-powered NPCs in videogames.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

To be clear here, if you derive pleasure from the pain of Jake Paul, I encourage you to keep doing so. I wish I could feel the same schadenfreude. I just don't. I mostly just feel indifferent about his entire career.

I feel like, most of the time when a fighter is notable enough to be hated, they're also getting paid a lot of fucking money. Hard to see a stoppage as a 'loss' in that context. The exception here is, of course, Greg Hardy. He got paid fuck-all and lost on every level, it was wonderful.

I've always felt weird about the 'can't wait to see him lose' stuff that's prevalent in combat sports. I get it, some terrible fucker gets destroyed, no problem with anyone celebrating that. But it also frames the consequences of combat sports as some sort of retribution in a way I find offputting

It might be worth questioning why people feel like they got one over on Jake Paul by watching his entire boxing career until he lost. I can't blame anyone for enjoying his pain, but I also feel that it kind of... leans into his grift.

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient. The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

"Just put garbage on the page and fix it later" - no, you need to actually be thinking, feeling, and composing as you write. Placeholders that lack clear intention will derail the cumulative narrative impact. Details matter. Always Be Crafting.

I also have an unsubstantiated and probably entirely wrong pet theory that Rise of Skywalker coming out the same year and very obviously doing all the standard blockbuster beats as part of a very poorly constructed story took the wind out of the sales of that entire mode of storytelling.

A plea: It is 2025. The term "mail-in ballots" is hopelessly stuck in previous decades. There is absolutely no need for the addition of "-in." We all know the ballots are mailed "in." Please just call them "mail ballots." That is what they are. Ballots returned through the mail. MAIL BALLOTS!

Here are some poems I wrote this year that I was proud of. I only recently returned to poems after enjoying writing them as a kid. It's a very vulnerable exercise; I'd been conditioned to find modern poetry to be cringe, and getting back into it has been scary and rewarding. Anyway, hope you enjoy

If you, an academic or a journalist for a liberal coded institution drop into a place where the church leaders talk about the seven mountain mandate & call America god's chosen land, they're going to be nice to you, especially if you're white! It's not as if they don't know they're being evaluated!

It's also striking to me how often they writers encounter MAGA Christians who are polite to them and think their short encounters are indicative of who those people are. Christian nationalists are often ignorant but rarely stupid.

FWIW, I think that piece on Christian Nationalism is at best, naive. It's very frustrating as someone who grew up in Evangelical MAGA-land and is personally acquainted with Dominionist politics, to see people parachute into those communities and miss the story.

It's so sad to know how many mid-career+ journalists who have been laid off and/or burned out are going to leave the industry because of how bad everything has become, not return, and journalism will suffer from that level of experience, skills and perspective walking out the door forever.
