*Long sigh* Yeah it seems like this is exactly what's up, actually. This new "NaNoWriMo" 2.0 is AI all the way. prowritingaid.com/novel-november Their website tries *real* hard not to mention AI, but then you catch stuff like, "...ran it through Plot Analysis" and yeah that's kind of a giveaway.

So, wait, has NaNoWriMo rebranded as "Novel November", paid for by ProWritingAid, which used to be a spell/grammar checker but now is (you guessed it) an "'AI' grammar checker"--in short, yet another way for a griftslop machine to grab human-written text? Do I have that right?

Math lesson : __________ Momma sees grown ass adults whispering about her child doing too good + Momma confronts grown ass adults talking about her child + White people do the white people thing and call the cops cuz theyre "scared of Momma" = calling the cops "on a 3 year old"

#Barbarella, #illustration inspired by the 1968 Roger Vadim movie I did for Heroines book published by #Hachette France. An iconic milestone to pulp #SF style, such as the Jean-Claude Forest's #comics. Also I'm a huge fan of Jane Fonda then and now 🛸🛰️⭐ #scifi #pulp #retro #margueritesauvage

1) A great horror sequel, Universal's best classic horror film, and the pinnacle of director James Whale's too-short career, The Bride of Frankenstein is a delight. It mixes horror with satire, nightmare with empathy, rampages with queer subtext to create Hollywood's ultimate monster flick.

Also snatching the opportunity to remind you that Edward Steinborn designed not only the Music Box Theatre & a ton of other bangers, but also one of my favorite little guys in the entire city -- this tiny but potent explosion of Art Deco awesomeness in Wicker Park.

Family estrangement isn't new. The present moral panic is a version of Wilhoit's Law: there are family members whom the family code protects but does not bind and those whom the code binds but does not protect. Elders can denigrate you, police your politics, choose your mate, blackmail you. 7/_

Overnight delivery phone, due yesterday, will now arrive Monday, when I cannot sign for it because they like me to be at work. Beginning to think FedEx is bad at its self-defined job. Had a nice chat on the stoop with the driver, who did not know why he was carrying a nonexistent package.

The administration and its allies have refused to rule out sending ICE and federal agents to polling places this fall. But it's illegal! Federal law bans armed agents at the polls, period!

I wrote this! TL;DR the rest of the world spent so long anxiously watching Orban destroying everything; the least we can do now, for Hungary and for our own sakes, is to watch as Magyar proves that things can actually get better
