Lovely early birthday present with a definitely authentic, hand-written note from @doctorow.pluralistic.net himself. My favourite part is the sketch at the end shows us fighting together with Karl Marx against chatgpt
Cover of Cory’s book “The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI” Hand written note, definitely confirmed to be from the author, wishing me a happy birthday. Second page of note showing four stick figures: Cory with a sword, me with a lightsaber? and Karl Marx with a gun, all facing off against a horse shaped chatgpt

Redacted teams conversation with three suggested responses but no response from the other person that should prompt them.

@misterabk.bsky.social reminded of the audiobook of Wind in the Willows read by Kenneth Williams. Two audio tapes and so much more cosy and with less Pan

Apropos of nothing, here's a splendid old, orangey pig standing proudly on his wall. A wall that separates him from all those bad hombres in the farmyard.
