There's a wicked production somewhere where Elphaba kisses Glinda on the cheek sometime in act 2... And because I can't find it anymore I sketched it 🥹
How to turn off AI-scraping from your Word documents
Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.
If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.How to Turn off Word’s AI Access To Your Content
I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”:
File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”
Does anyone know if google docs does this too? If yes how do I disable it?
Yes, G docs has been doing something like this for...at least a year and a half now, I believe? Last I heard there was no option to opt-out, so many writers and myself switched to LibreOffice. The most recent news I heard about Gdocs was that it has an AI that monitors docs for pornographic content, apparently?
Please reply if you have links to back up my probably outdated news. As expected, "googling" this is overwrought with Google pages praising and promoting this feature.

i have no idea how things will end up. chances are, i won’t be around to explain myself later. so i’m making this journal, starting here, as a declaration of intent, so that no one will be in any doubt. point one: frank castle is dead. however, the message has yet to reach his body, and so it continues to twitch. who can say what it might do … before it stops moving? point two: sometimes the law is helpless to act, even when it identifies the guilty. it follows, therefore, that sometimes it is necessary to act outside the law, to shame its inadequacy, to pursue a natural justice. i’m not talking about vengeance. revenge is not a valid motive. it’s a tawdry, emotional response no better than the act that provokes it. i’m talking about …
PUNISHMENT.

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD" PROMPTS * assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary
who else knows you're still alive?
don't tell me i'm the only one that knows.
i never should have believed their lies.
how could you keep this from me?
they lied to you. they knew it would break you if i died.
i staged it all.
there's no way this is happening.
i'm never letting you go.
i promised you i'd never leave you.
but i saw you die! this is impossible!
no. no. this isn't happening. this can't be real.
i watched it. i watched you die and now you're standing here.
how is this even possible?
they might have exaggerated just a bit.
we needed to make it look like i was dead.
you just let me spend all this time thinking you were dead?
did you tell anyone else?
this was your master plan? fake your death, see what happens?
i don't know whether to be pissed or be thrilled to see you again.
i've just seen a ghost.
you saw what they wanted you to see.
you're not real. i must be dreaming.
did you look for me?
funny. i don't remember falling asleep.
you just let us all believe you were dead?
it was the only way to do this. i'm sorry.
when were you going to tell me?
i watched the life leave your eyes...
you kept this from me.
oh my god... no. no no no. this can't be happening.
how did you... how did you even do this?
someone pinch me.
you look pretty good for someone that's supposed to be dead.
i watched you die in my arms.
they told me you died.
i promised you i'd come back.
they lied to me? all this time?
trust me, i wanted to tell you. i really did.
i think i need to sit down.
i'm gonna need some time to process this.
are you real? can i touch you?
what was all this about you dying?
you've kept the truth from me all this time.
had you just told me, i could have helped you.
i begged them to let me tell you, but they said it would ruin our plans.
the blood was fake. i'm all right.
yes, i'm alive! would you please come over here and give me a hug?
i didn't think i'd survive it, either.
i knew you'd come back for me.
we had to make it believable from the start.
there was no other way.
i should have told you.
i tried to get a message out to you.
they said you'd moved on, so i figured i should, too.
i wish i had all the answers for you.
i know you expect me to be okay with this, but things have changed since you died.
[name]... i thought you were dead.
will you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?
i'll never leave you again.
i swear on my life, this wasn't supposed to happen this way.
i take it you got my message.
everything got out of hand.
they didn't tell you?
glad you could make it.
i'm sorry i didn't reach out to you sooner.
all of a sudden, you come back into my life.
i'm back and better than ever.
i don't want to hear your excuses.
FIRST DATE PROMPTS * assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary
you picked a great place to meet.
have you ever been to this spot before?
it's so nice to finally meet you in person.
i've heard so much about you already.
i think you and i want different things.
i'll take the check.
you're really good at making me laugh.
you look exactly like your pictures.
should we split something on the menu?
let me walk you to your car.
you're a very nice person, but i just don't feel a spark.
it's not you, it's me.
you're really fun to talk to.
well, this is a little awkward.
i don't think this is going to work.
where do you want to sit?
we're on the same wavelength.
what about a second date?
i love all your jokes.
let me grab our drinks and we'll find a table.
you look really beautiful.
could we see each other again?
maybe we could do something else?
well, this was a long time coming!
you've got something in your teeth...
i thought this day would never come!
how have you been?
i'm just not sure how this would work out.
you're a lot shorter than i expected.
i'm going to use the restroom.
it's too loud in here to have a conversation.
you stay here. i'll be right back.
mind if i order a drink?
thank you for inviting me out.
that was a bit rude.
let me get the door for you.
i'm trying to find the one.
so... tell me a little about yourself.
what do you do in your spare time?
i'm not looking for anything serious.
this was never going to work.
i don't think this was a good idea after all.
i think i'd better go.
you're not at all what i expected.
that's... not what i meant.
i was kinda hoping for something more.
maybe we should take a walk?
i think you're a wonderful person.
so what do you look for in a partner?
is it too soon for a first kiss?
our friends set us up.
do you really mean that?
something about you really interests me.
i'd really like to walk you home.
you can come up, if you'd like.
when's the last time you went on a date?
my last relationship didn't go well.
did you bring an umbrella?
i'll buy the popcorn.
i'd like to see you again, if that's okay.
do you want to find somewhere else to talk?

"AM I INTERRUPTING SOMETHING?" PROMPTS * assorted dialogue for slightly awkward moments and potentially some secrets accidentally revealed, adjust as necessary
i can come back later if i have to.
i wasn't supposed to hear that.
oh, get a room, you two.
am i interrupting something?
i didn't mean to show up unannounced.
they told me to just let myself in.
i heard everything.
this seems like a bad time.
did i just see you kiss [name]?
i saw you hide something behind your back.
did i just see what i think i saw?
who were you talking to?
that was awkward.
so... care to fill me in?
i knew you were keeping something from me.
was i supposed to hear that?
when were you going to tell me the truth?
so that's what you've been hiding.
i knew there had to be more to this.
was i meant to hear that conversation?
you knew i was listening in.
i overheard what you said about me.
i might have heard you talk about it.
a little bird told me.
i won't tell a soul.
what just happened?
are you hiding things from me?
so... are you going to tell me what that was all about?
i knew it.
why will you tell them but not me?
do you not trust me with your secrets?
i can keep a secret.
you're hiding something.
what did i just walk in on?
don't try to play dumb. i heard everything.
should i come back later?
you're being very sneaky.
let's pretend i didn't just hear that.
i didn't mean to hear that.
you two seem busy.
i'll... wait in the other room.
oops. wrong room.
don't mind me.
i didn't see anything!
let's just carry on like nothing happened.
there's nothing to see here!
if you need me, i'll be over here.
it's not nice to keep secrets.
so... tell me everything you know.
THE SECRET HISTORY: STARTERS
a collection of quotes, phrases, and sayings from the 1992 novel The Secret History by Donna Tartt. change & alter as needed.
"I suppose, at one time in my life, I might have had any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is the only story I will ever be able to tell."
"If there's one thing I'm good at, it's lying on my feet. It's a sort of gift I have."
"I am nothing in my soul if not obsessive."
"He can't be all that elitist if he accepted me."
"Well, if he doesn't know, I'm not going to tell him."
"No person, no matter how beloved, can ever truly understand us."
"Bloody, terrible things are sometimes the most beautiful."
"Let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones... then spit us out, reborn."
"I mean to say, [name] is a handsome fellow and a sterling character, but I wouldn't want to marry him, would I?"
"You had better watch out. I've heard some weird shit about those people."
"You're always saying that, [name], but I just don't think it's true."
"[Name], put me down. I'm bleeding all over you."
"You shouldn't push your friends away like that. The best friends you'll ever have are the ones you're making right now."
"I told you, I don't have any friends here."
"I think it's good to change the place where one sleeps from time to time. It gives one more interesting dreams."
"I mean, he's not what you think. Or what [name] thinks, or anybody else. For a while there, he had me fooled but good."
"The appeal to stop being yourself, even for a little while, is very great."
"You're being so nice about this. I feel awfully embarrassed by the whole thing."
"Well, you may or may not know this, but [name] is a little jealous of you."
"Jesus, [name], you know everything. You make me sick."
"They say the same about arsenic, but I wouldn't like to try it."
"Anything I do will be dangerous, you know."
"What do you and [name] need a secret code for?"
"A person can do an awful lot of talking in twelve hours."
"If we keep it as casual as possible, no one will give us a second glance. People don't pay attention to ninety percent of what they see."
"Really, there's nothing to worry about. It seems risky, but if you look at it logically, it couldn't be safer."
"Who do you think [name] would be more apt to believe?"
"Forgive me for being blunt, but if you think you have any influence over [name], you're sadly mistaken. He's not particularly fond of you, and if I may speak plainly, he never has been."
"There were some things you had to know, I suppose, but I feel I've done you a disservice by involving you this far."
"What is unthinkable is undoable."
"Anyway, you want to come to this party?"
"You idiot. Did you know your shirt is on inside out?"
"I had a dream tonight. You were in it."
"I need more than coffee."
"I'm embarrassed that people will think we went to see such bad movies."
"He knows we're lying. He just doesn't know what we're lying about."
"I prefer to think of it as a redistribution of matter."
"These guys will chop you up and put you in a garbage bag for twenty bucks."
"You know, we've done a terrible thing."
"You know, I'm really not attracted to you."
"Anything is grand if it's done on a large enough scale."
"You look as if you were in a barroom brawl."
"People get upset, all of a sudden they want to listen to old hippie garbage they would never listen to if they were in their right mind. When my cat died, I had to go out and borrow all these Simon & Garfunkel records."
"By the way, I've been meaning to ask, what did you do to your eye?"
"Murder is pollution. The murderer defiles everyone he comes into contact with. And the only way to purify blood is through blood."
"You amaze me. You think nothing exists if you can't see it."
"He loved you, too. He would have wanted you to know that. You know that, don't you, dear?"
"Do you think I should go to the hospital?"
"I didn't take anything. You know very well I didn't."
"I would've told them anything if I thought they'd send me home."
"I mean, I've been drinking a bit more than I should. I'm the first to admit that."
"I never brought your name up, man. I hardly fucking know you. But they got it from somewhere. And it wasn't from me."
"Look at [name]. Don't you just love him? If he called me up and asked me to marry him, I would do it in, like, one second."
"Is death really so terrible a thing? It seems terrible to you, because you are young, but who is to say he is not better off now than you are? Or — if death is a journey to another place — that you will not see him again?"
"I'm not taking sides. I just think whatever you're doing, you picked a bad time to do it."
"[Name], it's none of my business, but I hope for God's sake you know what you're doing."
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you have to make things so hard for everybody?!"
"You don't feel a great deal of emotion for other people, do you?"
"My life, for the most part, has been very stale and colorless. Dead, I mean. The world has always been an empty place to me."
"I know I said earlier that he was perfect, but he wasn't perfect. Far from it — he could be silly and vain and remote and often cruel, and still, we loved him, in spite of, because."
"Flesh and blood are frail and weak, and there comes a time when we have to transcend our teachers."
"I loved him more than my own father. I loved him more than anyone in the world."
"I don't care what happens to him. I don't care if he dies. I wish he was dead."
"[Name] can't hurt you. You're perfectly safe out here."
"Kidnap is not the word that I would use."
"So, you've come to kill me?"
"If you want to shoot me, [name], go ahead and do it. It'll be the stupidest thing you ever did in your life."
"The stupidest thing I ever did in my life was listening to you."
"I managed to get out of taking my French exams next week, due to the very excellent excuse of having a gunshot wound to the stomach."
"Forgive me, for all the things I did, but mostly for the ones I did not."
"You know, everybody is saying that you're dead."
"Are you happy here?"
