Congratulations! Pure coincidence that Chaz shares a last name with an author named Dave?

[bolindbergh]

I thought the publication was named "The Beaverton", not just "Beaverton"?

Anyway: Wikipedia page updated. Feel free to complain if "occasional columnist" is a misleading description.

Yay! And it's eligible for Best Short Story!

AI will write your books and even fight with politicians. Okay, some politicians.

Congratulations! It was very funny. My favorite part was the fake names of fake sins.

Congratulations! And a natural fit for your style - all you need to do is make the snark a litte less deadpan 8-)

Well done!

I'm always somewhat boggled when I see a Grammarly ad which targets educators, trying to get them to have their students use it to "improve" their writing. The point of giving writing assignments to students is to get them to develop their own skills..!

FYI, JWZ has blogged your article. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2025/05/chatgpt-user-delighted-to-combine-sloth-with-theft/

JWZ (former Netscape engineer, nightclub owner, and popular figure among programmers) linked to your story on his blog and at Mastodon so the Beaverton editors will likely be happy with your traffic numbers!

Congratulations! And on the JWZ boost as well.

at first I was confused, since Beaverton is a city in Oregon
