‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

Today a former student of mine was the substitute teacher in my classroom while I was on a field trip. When I came back he was covering another class and he left his D and D stuff out on my desk. “You playing D and D?” I asked him when he returned. “Actually, DMing.” Proud of him.

I picked chestnuts from my neighbors’ trees and then tried to sell them to my neighbors, including the neighbors from whom I stole. I was six years old. Realizing now this is the same business model as AI.

I had a dream that I ran into some people I hadn’t seen in 20-some years. I wanted to show them pictures of my 16 year-old son, but they were all blurry and very old. This is just a “my son is a teenager pushing away from me” dream, right?

I’m watching the movie “The Other Guys” which I have never seen because I am not a fan of Marky Mark and I cannot believe how many times I have laughed out loud. It’s a lot, just to be clear. I’m not being sarcastic. I think this movie is funny.

Today in my 2nd period class everybody lost their fucking minds because an extremely loud jet flew remarkably low and instead of it being the beginning of a war it was just 3 jets doing a flyby near us for the opening of a GOLF TOURNAMENT

Help me out -- I just saw a Cubs player swing the bat and the ball landed in fair territory, but NOT in a Padre's glove. What's that called?

Re: the Cubs: 1) this is exactly what the owner front office wanted to build. 2) the pitching injuries are to be expected given how they’ve targeted pitchers coming off injuries 3) the roster is a player development problem 4) they have cut a lot of money from scouting 5) it ain’t over yet go cubs

One one hand I am sad because it looks like the Cubs are headed for an early exit from the playoffs. On the other hand, soon it will be Ian Happ’s last game as a Cub

Cubs fans, what are you doing to watch their Padres playoff games? A) staying up the fucking late B) getting up that fucking early C) watching a replay D) catching up with the highlights tomorrow E) not

This Cubs season was a lot of fun, but I feel like crying. It ended up being such a mediocre finish. It feels like they should have been so much more. I don’t have good feelings about where they ended up and I’m pessimistic about their chances. Oh well whatever go cubs go

This season has been more of a roller coaster ride than I might have liked, but there’s a lot to cherish and the best part is it won’t end at 162. Go Cubs Go!

Today apple auto-transcribed a spam call which I will never listen to, because it transcribed the caller’s name as “Bleeb” and I don’t ever want to find out that the caller is not Bleeb
