"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

You’re not depressed. You just need $250,000 in your bank account.

you are depressed. because money is an unexcesary need. so $250,000 would fix most everything. except. except the depression. 👀

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

There is never enough credit given to the people and organizations that actually manage to avert the looming disasters.

pros of having a large vocabulary: many words i know

cons of having a large vocabulary: many words i only know the vibe for

listen i may take 4 weeks to write a 3k word chapter, and i may take 45 minutes to decide whether i should use “laugh” or “chuckle”, but at least i don’t use ai and whatever you’re getting is pure chaos from a human brain

Give a man a fanfic, and he will read for a day. Teach a man to write, and he still won't do it.

He'll think about it though, and boy oh boy, he'll be thinking about it...

nondelphic

the concept of "canon" is fake anyway. if you write a fanfic with better emotional arcs than the original you win. i said what i said

The way I love writing but not the transition to writing you get me. I either want to be writing or have finished writing none of this getting started shit that happens in the beginning

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.
