Everyone says Norm Macdonald was this great genius but "ID" actually stands for identification document. Here’s a punchier observation of my own: Norm's name was an INaptronym because he broke all the norms of society. Now THAT’S funny.

Fascinating must-read piece from @maxraskin about AI-generated writing. Even as an analog guy, I mostly agree with Max—especially about how writing has different functions, and that most of us will accept the tradeoff in some areas. thefp.com/p/the-last-essay-a…

Oh damn, damn, damn. This by @maxraskin is totally unnerving, esp for we who write for a living. I took the test in his essay -- and failed on both examples. thefp.com/p/the-last-essay-a…

I wrote a great novel called Moby Dick. It's mostly similar to Melville's Moby-Dick except without the hyphen.

Why drug dealers live with their moms? Because it would be weird if they lived with someone else's mom.
