Audiobooks

People who feel the need to pearl-clutch & publicly extoll on how audiobooks aren't "real reading," as if their beloved Jane Austen English realism weren't a transient fad in shifting millennia of storytelling tactics, are not worth attending to.

Exactly. you can be smart when you want to be.

I'm normally onboard with your posts but I have to take exception here - when did Joni have one good tune? or album?

seriously, confused

It's not important. Ignore it. She wouldn't make my top 100 of anything.

@version has failed to provide anything that is new about western progressivism. This means that what people here call "progressive" is actually retrogressive, and in fact more backwards than conservatism in that conservatism wants to continue doing what has been done, whereas retrogressive "progressivism" re-animates failed initiatives that are no longer around to be continued.

If I was a nutter you would be able to refute me like you do soggy biscuits.

You can't refute nutters.

Just seen this on Audible planning to have AI generated narrators for audiobooks

That's audiobooks ruined then

Amazon's quest to destroy humanity proceeds. Audible have announced plans to use AI to 'narrate' audiobooks. That's going to wreck a vital - and fun - part of publishing
