I met someone who was shocked at how rabidly I despised GenAI. For others curious why writers appear to have an irrationally strong reaction to the chatbots, a rough breakdown of why so many of us are going full luddite: 🧵

Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books. It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧

“The myth of technological and political and social inevitability is a powerful tranquilizer of the conscience,” wrote Joseph Weizenbaum. Here’s to the growing coalitions refusing the myth of AI technologies’ inevitability in schools!

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Does she? With those eyes, I assume she'll assist me straight to hell. (To be fair, I did actually get the help I needed for once, so maybe hell isn't so bad.)

Good Morning Moon! Watching Artemis II circle the moon right now. Seems like the best time ever for the appropriate @mariancall.bsky.social music

Unintentionally poetic text from my elderly neighbor, after the weather abruptly warmed up: "I feel like I'm going to live and finally there is a robin in the front yard."

Ah yes, the Edook Fublishing. That's what I've been missing.

I'm just so irked that 1) I wasted half an hour trying to do something that should have taken 2 minutes and 2) we're anthropomorphizing crappy technology as if that will somehow make us more forgiving of its crappiness. "Oh, that's Ashley for you! What a card."

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it... Arizona, November 2020

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
