Someone in my writing group who hasn't said anything for months submitted 100 new pages over the weekend and said he has started “working with a collaborator” and after exactly two comments on his pages he let it slip it's ChatGPT. This is gonna be a bloodbath.

watching back to the future 2 to learn how to fix the wrong timeline and deal with the bill tannen situation. apparently we'll need a time machine for this.

neineineineinei det er en geithams på soverommet, og den kommer seg neppe ut av seg selv, fordi rullegardina er trukket ned. litt upraktisk at det betyr at jeg ikke kan bruke 2. etasje før frosten kommer, men det blir vel ikke så veldig mange måneder at jeg må sove i stua. til oktober, kanskje?

når man bare maskinoversetter ordet "piracy" og ikke involverer en menneskelig oversetter som forhåpentligvis ville stoppet opp og tenkt over om piratkopiering egentlig var problemet på borneo på 1840-tallet.

Edge of the World

been watching the 100 foot wave series and have mixed feelings. because i really enjoy watching big wave surfing, but these surfers are clearly addicts, breaking their bodies, concussing their brains, messing up their families, sometimes dying. also unsustainable af with all that flying.

drunk girl trying to tell her friends that she thinks they are “weekend at Bernie’s” with McConnell, but she has got completely the wrong movie and keeps calling it “doing a Fish Called Wanda” with him and I’m dying

just like the orcas deciding to revive the salmon hat trend 37 years later, i am also revisiting the styles i wore 37 years ago - mint, teal, pink, lilac, striped t-shirts, beachy sunset palm tree prints. i mean just look at the world these days, is it any wonder i'm nostalgic for the late 1980s?
