This is the thing. GenAI makes agents' and front-line editors' jobs harder, but it's unlikely to lead to much success for any authors using it barring a few already successful folks. People who think a first draft is a book don't understand anything about writing.

I love when every single weather service has an entirely different set of predictions for a place I'm going. Makes it super easy to pack ...

Charlotte: okay I'm ready to go grab a drink Me: wait you look all nice and I look like a disheveled hobo ... Me: ah well, nothing to be done about it.

POLL: what's your favorite way to log in to websites in 2026? 1. Username / Password (w or w/o 2FA) 2. Passkey 3. Magic Link (Email) 4. One-time code (SMS or Email) 5. Something else (reply with what!)

It's both satisfying and deeply annoying to kill a mosquito in mid-air and get your hands covered in your own blood.

I know, statistics and all that, but it's kind of amazing to me that any #NBA player would ever be like "Yeah I'm going to regularly commute by helicopter" after what happened to Kobe. Dudes will eat the same breakfast for 15 years straight for "good luck" but aren't worried about that?

Holy shit it actually rained. This should not be cause for surprise or celebration in France, but this summer it for sure is.

Is there anything that say "I'm on a diet" more than purchasing a sleeve of puffed rice/popcorn/grain cakes?

The singularity has not arrived, LLMs are not sentient, and Sam Altman is a snake oil salesman who should probably be in prison.

I cannot wait for the "shocking" stories two to four years from now revealing that all of this was gouging on the part of grocery stores, big agriculture, etc, and not actually reflective of any sudden increase in their expenses.

I wonder if the Fallout New Vegas remaster will allow them to have more than, like, 10 NPCs in a casino space clearly able to fit 500+.

Picked up @bengalart.bsky.social's art book while in the US (it shipped to my parents' house) and it is *gorgeous*. I'm going to use the included coloring book to practice my colored pencils. 😄 If you didn't crowdfund it, you can get it here: www.liberdistri.com/en/artbooks-...

Core Collapse Supernova: The Art of Bengal"Core Collapse Supernova" is a 140+ page art book by artist Bengal, with entirely new color illustrations & sketches.www.liberdistri.com

The reason Vine was better than TikTok is because of the time cap.

Tired, jetlagged, AND I've got a cold. Have to admit though, the latter couldn't have come at a better time. Started feeling crappy at the airport on the way home. Now I have a week to just be sick at home before we go visit my in-laws on the beach in Bretagne. 😅

People are really, really, REALLY tired of the Democrats clearly viewing the actions of their opponents more as an opportunity to fundraise than as anything they should actually do something to oppose.

All of the data consistently throughout human history show that fully open borders are a significant net benefit to any country. Immigration is good for countries and their people, full stop.

In addition to this being an obvious and grotesque invasion of privacy, it remains super unclear to me what the value is in wearing these things and recording constantly.

Stopping at the airport Sheraton for a croissant and a café because why not? Its Sunday and we have no particular need to get home quickly, especially since we still have almost no furniture in our new apartment 😄

Wheels down in Paris. Got about two hours of sleep, which might be a record for me!

About to board our overnight flight back to Paris. Was lovely to visit friends and family in the US, and I'm not looking forward to yet another heatwave next week ... but it'll be nice to sleep in my own bed after two weeks!
