Good morning.

I thought of something interesting to write about while walking with Alice this morning, but I've forgotten what it was. You'll have to settle for the usual tedious navel-gazing.

I understand both sides of the work-from-home debate, and there are two sides, but I hate the debate. Personally, I prefer working from home. However, I have noticed that no one ever mentions the work-from-home workers who fuck around way more than they would in an office. Work-from-home advocates either claim these people don't exist, or it's overblown, or (and this is most common), management is incompetent in some way so it must be their fault. It's not always a company's management that's to blame, sometimes people are just terrible at self management. I wonder how many of the most vocal work-from-home advocates are in that group?

Nick Cave isn't having any ChatGPT:

There are all sorts of temptations in this world that will eat away at your creative spirit, but none more fiendish than that boundless machine of artistic demoralisation, ChatGPT.

My heroes used to be guys like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. Now, my heroes are more like Nick Cave and Nick Offerman.

I think I'd like to try one of these: NONS Camera Releases Instant Back for Hasselblad using Fujifilm Instax Square Film.
