Very much this. If you like Star Trek and you aren’t a lefty, then you don’t like Star Trek.

The good news is that you’re safe in Rivendell; the bad news is that you have an all-day meeting scheduled for tomorrow.

What’s it like inside your head?

Thei wante us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe, and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.

Can we just appreciate how stunning young Ursula K Le Guin was

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

and it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth, the six and seventh eighth, ninth, and tenth and after that are even bigger numbers bigger numbers bigger numbers bigger numbers bigger nuuu~uumbee~eeers...

So happy that Taylor Swift’s new album has given so many people the opportunity to be joyless scolds. What a gift. How lucky we are to have nothing important to worry about.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

If there's someone doing work out there on the fringes that matters to you, please let them know, because this world is going to tell them the opposite every day.

It's coming on Equinox I've found no balance for to speak of just salt on my shoes just recycled blues mariancall.bandcamp.com/track/equinox

Out here watching #RingsofPower for basically the first time, and there’s a lot that’s admirable and ambitious, but I fear that it doesn’t escape the trap of being basically incomprehensible at any level beyond what is literally happening on the screen right now.

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Shire Reckoning: In Case Of Emergency, Break World. Have a listen:

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

The problem with writing podcast notes after a glass of wine is that I already know I’m going to have to edit the hell out of them the next morning. Will I really talk about the ‘90s video game Doom on a podcast about The War Of The Rohirrim? I mean, I might.

Gladwell has always been the quintessential charlatan, using his capacity as a storyteller to worm his way into the hearts (and wallets) of bored audiences eager to hear that there's one cool trick that could unlock the truth of the world. Still, turning on trans ppl in an hour of need is a new low.

I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and it’s both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.

Once and Again. And also Ed, for sure.

The two wolves inside me started fucking and now one is going to grad school for theater

sitting next to someone in a coffee shop who just told a writer "my best writing advice is to find out what people will pay you for and write about that" and now im gonna spend a full hour thinking about how wrong she is and how much capitalism has broken her whole-ass brain.

I’m out here asking the tough questions.

So excited to start this new project! Follow along!

The proactive use of profanity to prevent the unwelcome intrusion of generative AI into your research process is going to have serious implications for academia, as I discuss in my upcoming paper, “Disenshittening The Internet: A Policy For Reducing Dumbfuckery.”

I’m genuinely curious what the experience of listening back to the first season of Serial would be like.

Survive. Make art. Fight. Our existence is protest. Survival and loving and living IS a riot.

Beach Boys cofounder Brian Wilson has died at the age of 82. He transformed pop music into high art, and became America's answer to The Beatles' Lennon and McCartney in the process.

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

What is the city but the people?

This week, we give up the promise of immortality as we reach the end of Chapter XIX and begin Chapter XX of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. Why does the Lay of Leithian end where it does, and why are the sons of Fëanor so unkillable? starsandswords.com/61-the-silma...

Me as a 10 yr old Stephon Marbury fan 🤝 me as a 37 yr old artist “A.I. is for losers”
