This post really gets into how, personally, even if genAI was completely free of it's many sins, I still wouldn't use it. "Because I stopped doing the hard work, I stopped learning, I stopped growing, I stopped being the one making the software."

"So in summary: using AI for coding led to depression, apathy, existential dread, and worse software. Not good. Add on top of that the negative environmental, community, and economic impacts of AI, and it became extremely apparent to me that something's gotta change." brettcodes.com/im-done-usin...

“There’s a new Mr. Beast book.” You bolt awake in your workshop in Mainz. It’s 1450. You’re Johannes Gutenberg, and you’ve changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Your printing press must burn.

In her 2002 autobiography, she “writes of the apparent ‘animalistic sex techniques’ of Black people, and what she describes as their ‘distinctive smell’. She describes working with a Black man in a past performance work, with lingering attention paid to her descriptions of his lips and genitals.”

My story "Beneath the Flower's Gaze" has published in Omenana Issue 35. I'm proud of this story, because it's so different from anything else I've written. It's an experimental, fantasy (horror-ish) story written to capture not just the image, but also a feeling that stuck with me since I was 8.

in 2005, Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar for Best Original Song for the film Hustle and Flow ("Hard Out Here For A Pimp"). Dolly Parton was nominated in the same category. After celebrating heavily, they had a nice personal note awaiting them when they arrived back home.

An excerpt of the oral history of Three 6 Mafia winning an Oscar in 2005 as told to Variety. DJ Paul: I woke up in my hotel room the next morning with my housecoat on and a bottle of champagne in my hand, and the phone ringing because the Hollywood Reporter or somebody was calling for an interview and taking pictures of us. Then we did some interviews and flew back home. When we landed there was so many people in the airport waiting for us, there was applause, the minute we stepped off the airplane people started going crazy, it was almost like a little parade at the airport for us. It was crazy. Juicy J: When we got back to Memphis, Dolly Parton actually sent us a letter congratulating us and signed it, saying she was just happy [the award] came back to Tennessee.
