Nope, Not Today: It's The American Way

Monday, August 03, 2026

Good morning, Twfw. O/

Rain at sunrise. Original words at dawn for the sake of language.

Every morning this poet's Personal Large Language Model rolls on.

If the only reason you read and write is to appease others like teachers and bosses, there's nothing for you here.

If you read and write because some part of you knows it makes you a better human, raises the quality of your life, and makes you feel more alive, consider me a friend and read as much as you like.

This site is always one hundred percent written by me. What a strange thing to write to offer self-assurance.

I use AI to create the metadata tag so SEO's know where to shelve each post.

Poets have unique voices and ideas as part of our job requirements. A poet doing their work well means Artificial Intelligence has no idea what to do with us. So I take a few moments everyday and help the algorithms get the best words to reference each post.

Imagine if you delivered a copy of a book you wrote to your local library for them to keep. If the staff never read it, they'd want to know what it was about so they could shelve it properly.

Original Intelligence and Creative Expressions are books algorithms have no frame of reference for.

If it's new, it's not AI.

So dependence on AI is an anti-evolutionary act. It stuns human progress and creates an awful cycle of daily news.

If we let it.

If we're to live with LLMs in a healthy way we all have to take an active role in training them.

If we want to see better news stories we have to, at first, seek them out.

There's plenty of good going on in the world right now. A lot of it is documented online.

Generations of people were trained that tragedy is what's most Newsworthy. And so the state of so many screens lately. But the only reasons to know someone else's house is burning down is to stay away from it or to help them out.

Our fixations on the tragic becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Reporters have to chase ambulances instead of heroes to make their living. Billions of dollars are made daily putting the worst of humanity on a pedestal.

Bad News is a drug addiction that harms the user and everyone around them.

Get a small dose if you feel you must, but change the channel, scroll to a new screen with stories better suited to help live a good life.

The power of language is my profession. I see so many suffering right now due to the misapplication of words. The posts on Wonder Fell lately are Public Service Announcements from a poet whose job it is to understand the power words play in our lives.

Algorithms keep showing us more tragedy because so many are addicted to watching and reading them. And because so many are... people make billions of dollars everyday reporting them.

The cure for the state of American's current New cycle is simple: Stop watching it. Media Companies only make profits when they're viewed. Force them to put the cameras on more of what's good about us.

The algorithms these businesses spend fortunes on will help speed up the process.

If you want to change America for the better right now, how about some Passive Resistance?

Actively ignore the tragic News. Swipe it away fast. Let's leverage the algorithms ourselves. Let's see actual Democracy in action.

Choose something better for yourself and humanity to watch. Actively ignore the Bad News. We do this as a people and the Country heals fast.

Today I'm starting a "Nope, Not Today" campaign of Passive Resistance for America. I hope you'll join me.

Algorithms base so much weight on screen time. America! Grab your phones! Find the most annoying stories of the day. Go to the site page. Don't read it. Say: "Nope, Not Today," and swipe it away as quick as you can.

Nope, Not Today: It's the American Way.

Let's force those in charge of media distribution to start showing us better stories. No viewers, no profits, no company.

If politicians know we'll only listen to them if they have good news, they'll bring it to us fast... if they want to keep their jobs.

The only humane reason to view an act of tragedy is if you plan on doing something to help heal it. If you don't, swipe it away fast and help America heal.

The "Nope, Not Today" campaign to save America's Algorithms and sanity starts today.

I hope you'll join me.

As always, thanks for reading.
