The early consumer Internet was really something. You’d dial in, do stuff, and log off. It was intentional and time-bound. I love the ubiquity and utility of the modern web, but I also miss the episodic nature of my early time online.

Susan Collins could have insisted on guardrails or measures to rein in abuses.

She didn’t and now her state is being terrorized by ICE.

I'm delighted to say we've raised nearly $24k for @wckitchen so far, but there's still time for you to add to that tally (including by moving the donation sliders so World Central Kitchen gets more of your payment). Come be a part of this, and also, you know, get some fun books.

This is useful for explaining why supporting JK Rowling and her works is shitty, and why some of us stay in the U.S. Why go through the trouble of moving when so many other countries are getting as bad or worse? Might as well stay and fight, since I'll have to fight anywhere I flee.

The consensus is "No". Which is also what I believe. Happy to be proven wrong, of course.

So far the only downside: new “smart” Siri doesn’t appear to be able to start HomeKit scenes just by name; “Siri, good morning” won’t run the Good Morning scene, it’ll just get the helpful response “Good morning!”

To protect your sanity when making art as a hobby, it's often a good idea to consider what aspect of art you're actually excited about and focus on that rather than feeling compelled to each some arbitrary standard of completeness.

Like, when it comes to fantasy writing it's not uncommon to find people who REALLY enjoy making fantasy languages, or nerding out about some other niche aspect of worldbuilding and who are seemingly writing a fantasy novel/RPG campaign just to have an excuse to worldbuild and they'd probably be happier if they just like... made their language without feeling the need to connect it to anything else.

Now, if you wanna make art to get money or attention, you often have to deal with the fact that people only seem to care about some things in certain context, like how if you wanna make interactive fiction you often have to create an entirely superfluous environment for the main character to run around in so you can sell it as a video game cus no one pays 40 dollars for a piece of hypertext fiction even if there's easily more writing than 40 dollars worth of novels in there.
