In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce.

The Sopranos episode where Christopher & Silvio go to get those legendary out of town hitmen in Rhode Island and they’re all old, senile blind guys is maybe the only thing to ever actually capture the Lynch vibe as opposed to what people often say is Lynchian just meaning “scary”

Both the New York Times and Washington Post obituaries for Jimmy Carter have joint bylines including writers who have been dead for years. The Guardian ran an obit with a single byline—and yes, the writer has been dead since 2021.

We’re unionizing to make our workplace better. Lately, management seems intent on making our workplace worse.
Here are a few examples of recent changes that underscore why we need a union:
