Me to parents of young children: "You must never offer them endless dinner alternatives. It's the road to madness." Me to my cat: "You don't like the shrimp-topped tuna? Shall we open a can of the chicken breast? Maybe some IAMS?"

All I want is a printer with no wifi or software or scanning devices or updates or pricier-than-gold-ink. Just one that I can plug into my laptop and print something out. I don't know why this is so hard, EVERY TIME.

Netflix is confused by my viewing habits, mostly because I choose things to leave on for the dogs when I go out. Most recently they have watched all but the last two episodes of The Diplomat, and a good chunk of Shrill.

![That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.
That’s great advice for life.
It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yvbszlkc7d75ixkid5g2zmw7/bafkreiar4z6n6pfk7wob2gznv6l6euw7ltxbetgto5drfd4wqzjalldp5m)

Nor for me. AI is a useful writing tool for people who 1. don't really enjoy writing/aren't good at it, in which case fair enough, but why would you be working as a writer? or 2. just cannot be arsed

I could not agree more. They might be worthy books or educational books - but they are not the kind of page turners that have you up till 3am.
If I'd fallen out of love with reading (never going to happen!) then most of these books would not tempt me back. Honestly, I wish just once that someone would be real and say, "I had a terrible reading slump then I reread Riders by Jilly Cooper and it cured me." www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

This explanation makes me sad: Alex Preston is properly taking responsibility, but what a bloody *stupid* way to torch your reputation (and your ability to write for quite a few outlets) to save a few minutes.
As he's taken responsibility and not made excuses I feel able to say: poor guy.
