In any other time line, this would be a bombshell.
In this time line, it *needs* to be.

"If any of the defense secretaries under Presidents Biden, Obama, or Bush had gotten this degree and range of pushback from top uniformed personnel, there would be immediate congressional hearings, calls for resignations, and talks of impeachment."
Our Generals Have No Confidence in Hegseth

a patient reminder: you can't tell just by looking at it whether any text is AI. it's hubris to think that you can. you are not immune from letting liars pass through your gates, or from letting honest work wait outside them. it's far more accurate to say your line-level taste is stricter due to AI.

Bumping up for those who might have missed it yesterday. The piece has been linked in some pro-"AI" quarters and the fantasy versions of me they have in their heads are... interesting.

Over on Whatever today, I'm talking about "AI" and creativity and how, when it comes to learning creative skills, Generative "AI" is rather like the old "Guitar Hero" game, i.e., a really fun way not to actually learn how to do a creative thing:

Jetzt: stiller Zug, im Gedenken an den Angriff auf den Berliner CSD

Unbeschadet dessen, differenziert zu schauen, von wem gegen wen wann wie und wo Gewalt ausgeht, es mag allgemein gelten:

Keine Angst,
keine Angst,

In 1870, two Victorian crossdressers were arrested outside the Strand Theatre. The case went on to set a legal precedent later used against Oscar Wilde.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.
I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

good time to re-up this. LWT is usually great, but this episode was fantastic at showing how the fairness in sports rhetoric has *never* been about sports. it’s just the narrative that transphobes have found most politically efficacious.
