Jeg har skrevet noen avisinnlegg, kronikker, kommentarer og petiter. Men hvis jeg tror jeg har en lenger tekst i meg — et essay som ikke helt passer inn i 3-6000 tegn sendt til debatt@avis — hvordan går man frem? Sender man en pitch til en redaktør?

Eldste ungen slurvet litt med håndskriften på bursdagskortet til farfar. Så i stedet for å ha en fin dag har hun ønsket han en pin dag. Siden han ligger med brukket rygg på sykehus, og morfin knapt nok tar smertetoppene har sjeldent noe passet bedre! Ønsker alle som trenger det pinefull dag!

Skal skrive en ny artikkel om utroskap — og løgner. Hva om, og hvordan, lyver den som er utro? Hvilke løgner må den som er «den andre» si? Og lyver også den som blir bedratt...? Om vil dele din historie med meg -> isenneset@outlook.com Del gjerne, går bredt ut og smalner senere! (Og sladrer ikke)

genAI discourse drives me nuts “putting aside that the tech needs to steal from every artist with an explicit goal of competing with and devaluing them, I think using it speeds up my programming!” back up, chucklefuck, what was that first bit again?

#LGBTQWriteAThon Singer/Songwriter (shush) is about two idiots who get fake-engaged: one for money so he can keep his flat, and one for publicity and an album that might do better than his last. Six months, a few new songs, and they can part ways. After all, they'll never fall in love, right?

A moodboard of six images. From left to right, top to bottom, they are:
An acoustic guitar and a black notebook with a black pen laid on top, on a bed by a window.
A set of USB drives, connector-side facing the camera, on a rattan surface.
A blond light elf man with long ears, spiky hair and blue eyes, one hand raised to his chin, smiling at the camera. He wears a loose blue jacket with silver embellishments exposing his chest and stomach and blue leather trousers.
A scowling brunet dark elf wearing a white T-shirt and facing to the left, his arms folded across his chest. His left ear has several black studs in the lobe and at the tip.
An acoustic guitar is laid on a canvas cloth beside a white tablet with the screen off. A pair of white earbuds with cable sits on top of it.
A moodily-lit microphone in a smoky, open room.

White text on a blue background across the centre of the image reads:
"I thought I looked sexy."
The tips of Blake's ears turned scarlet.
"I guess I'm not wrong."

Jeg synes alle som bruker KI skal betale for ressursene den bruker. Å, du vil lage et 80-tallsportrett av deg selv? Det koster 1000 liter vann og 500 kroner i strøm. Du vil ha hjelp til å skrive førsteutkast? 2000 liter vann og 1000 kroner i strøm. Noen må ta regninga, og akkurat nå er det vel jorda

Remember: Darwin's note of "I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything" was written on Oct 1 (1861). Thus we are free to celebrate Very Poorly And Very Stupid Hatred Day today.
