this is so scary to me. i recommended a book to a friend recently and she came back to me a day later saying it was really good and i asked if she finished it already and she said “yeah i got chat gpt to summarise each chapter into 3 paragraphs to it was easy to read”

Personally, I read a bunch of classics in high register in college. I guess it was fun. I recently ChatGPT'd Aristotle into readable English, finished it around 5x as fast as a translation, and felt I got the main gist of things. idk does the pain incurred actually teach much?

whenever one of my tapestries goes viral on social media, it reminds me that people largely understand what I’m trying to do with my work, and the pieces are meaningful and helpful to a lot of folks I’ll never meet. I appreciate all the kind words and encouragement 🥲

Right now, billionaires and corporate CEOs are getting paid 268 (!!!) times what workers do.
The status quo is bad for working people, and our unions will fight to make sure workers get their fair share. aflcio.org/paywatch

The frost on the branches was beautiful this morning. A kingfisher didn’t mind getting its feet cold.

It was very cold along the River Chess this morning. There was a sharp frost on all the usual branches. The kingfisher made us wait for 90 mins before this spectacular display.

Yglesias claims that in 2016 primary, Bernie Sanders' "best issues" were Iraq & LGBT rights rather than this broader message of economic populism & anti-establishment politics. This is a profoundly stupid & unserious analysis (not least because Bernie's record on Iraq & LGBT rights burnished his broader anti-establishment credibility).
