they just don't make characters like jon archivist sims. he spends an entire season having a forty episode long delusional breakdown and that's only maybe the third or fourth worst period of time in his life. he gets intervened on twice. he gets kidnapped thrice. during one of those kidnappings he spends a month tied to a chair getting forcibly moisturized by a plastic ringmistress mannequin and no one notices. he fully dies for six months but gets up again when a friendly grim reaper gives his unbreathing body a pep talk. he spends several episodes at the start of the final season so depressed that it's unclear if he even moves for multiple days in a row. the basis for his magic powers is that he is so traumatized that he begins to need continuous further trauma in order to live, which gives him the ability to explode people with his mind. he spends about fifty seconds at the top of an episode self-harming directly into a tape recorder, which is not even the most fucked up thing to happen to him that episode. he finally cried on audio for the first time in the penultimate ep and the only reaction I saw for several days after was wildly enthusiastic cheering. he's missing two ribs and he's at least 80% scar tissue by volume and the only canon information we have about his appearance is that he looks terrible at all times.

hey jonny, i just thought you'd want to know that character.ai has an ai-generated imitation of your voice and i'm not sure what other websites might have it or where it originated :(
Yeah, it's a fucking garbage state of affairs but, as a somewhat well-known performer with a pretty distinctive voice it doesn't exactly shock me. Needless to say I think anyone who used this is a mediocre waste of skin and if they ever tell me in person they've used it then 50/50 I punch them in the teeth.
I can't wait for a couple of years when it all collapses just like every other niche-but-interesting-technology-with-limited-use-cases-sold-as-a-universal-panacea-to-gormless-CEOs grift (blockchain being the best example). Because the thing is, none of these things actually make any money and cost a vast amount, so as soon as all the dumb venture capital funding dries up and AI is required to actually start paying for itself, the bubble bursts and the whole industry is fucked.
That said, it's gonna be rough when it happens - a lot of companies have invested very heavily in AI and they're going to be hurting badly. I know of more than one media company whose idiot executives invested ridiculous amounts into NFTs and ended up laying off massive swathes of workers when that obvious fucking scam collapsed. I suspect the AI crash is gonna be even worse than that. And by then it will have drowned the Internet in slop. We'll see, I guess.
Anyway, anyone who uses AI is a soulless fucking husk of a person who cannot tell half-digested vomit from culture, and I would pity them if they weren't making the world such a measurably worse place to exist.

Hello Mr. Waistcoat! I was wondering if you had any tips on how to make writing more enjoyable? I’m dyslexic, so I struggle to get my thoughts out onto paper, which makes writing extremely challenging and unenjoyable and often leaves my writing not flowing smoothly and scattered. If this weren’t the case, I probably would write a lot more (and not procrastinate essays as much). How do you go about getting your thoughts on paper? Do you have a specific strategy for remembering what you were going to write or for making ideas flow better?
I'm sorry, but I have no tips for this. The process of writing things down is boring and bad to me, but I'm good at it and I hate it significantly less than every other job I've ever had, so I just do it. You don't have to enjoy it if you want to be a writer - you just have to do it.

the babying of martin is LITERALLY what he was talkign about in the episode he was burnjng statements. the "martins just in a mood. he'll have a little cry or a little yell and get over it and go back to making tea. tim is a danger to everyone and jon is a danger to himself but martin is just in a mood" is all about how everyone just sees him as nice all the time and anything else is just an outlier. literally in the show he SAYS that hes just seen as a nice little tea maker when he can feel anger and he can be petty and he is manipulative and that is nothing less than that. he can have bad traits and thats good and he literally had a whole monolog about how he wants his bad traits and bad moments to be seen as bad moments like everyone else.

Do you think centaurs run out onto fantasy highways? Do you think they stare out at you with unblinking terror as you barrel down with your horse and buggy? Do you?

Does anyone know where I could find some good 1920s jazz recordings?
Everything I’ve found is either not 1920s or not jazz. Preferably before 1928 if possible.

My latest project is set in the 1920s, and I have spent both too much and not enough time doing research
Discovered today the phrase “piss off” is not period-accurate and am now inconsolable

As a writer I desperately wish I could have some kind of Jekyll and Hyde thing going on, where Hyde writes all my shit and I can come back hours later and read it for the first time. I think it would save me a lot of grief

Cropping memes and screenshots has me feeling like a gemcutter for real. There is a treasure inside you and with the right cuts and polish I will make you beautiful…
