My 13-year-old son calls me "son" every time he destroys me in chess. It's disconcerting on many levels.

“They took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue,” Drake said at the time. “I’m disgusted with that. RIP to Philip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil.” Wrote about how I used to get paid to hang out with famous people

Dolly Parton once revealed that Sylvester Stallone shocked her on the set of Rhinestone (1984) after pulling a shawl she had placed over a homeless man on a freezing New York night. Parton said Stallone yanked it off and called the man “scum,” prompting her to grab the shawl back and confront him: “That could have been you, you ungrateful son of a b*tch! Except by the grace of God. Who knows. It could be an angel sent to show you what an a you really are.” The next day, Parton said Stallone bought the man a blanket.

Why I Am Right About AI

Human writers are expensive, and they eventually die. AI is cheaper, and will never join a union.
