AI and Writer’s Detour

I heard an English professor extolling the virtue of artificial intelligence and how his students could use it to overcome a condition he called writer’s block. AI could script that first sentence for them. He rejoiced — that elusive, frustrating first sentence is no longer the stopper on the ink bottle. Should it be funny or impactful? It must be original. Good luck. Before AI, there were other ways of coping with WB. The most successful strategy being struggling through: keep looking, keep scribbling. Getting up and going for a short walk is still the healthiest choice. And smoking, though ... by Marilee Foster

Vital Support

Governor Kathy Hochul’s recent announcement of $20 million in her 2025 budget for victim assistance programs signifies a crucial investment in the well-being and recovery of survivors across New York State. In a time when federal Victims of Crime Act funding faces uncertainties, Gov. Hochul’s commitment ensures that essential services for victims and survivors will remain available. This funding will enable victim assistance programs to continue offering vital support, including counseling, support groups, case management, emergency shelter, and civil legal assistance. At The Retreat, we witness firsthand the impact of such support on the lives of survivors. From our 24-hour ... by Staff Writer

Won Me Over

In March, my good friend, George Lynch, wrote to The Southampton Press expressing his, and the Southampton Town Democratic Committee’s, support for congressional candidate John Avlon [“Blown Away,” Letters, March 7]. George aptly described our Democratic Committee as “not an easy crowd,” and that “unanimity is foreign to us.” Upholding that tradition, I was open-minded but skeptical about John Avlon and approached the meeting with the idea that this former CNN senior political analyst, and co-founder of “No Labels,” would need an impressive showing to get my support. It just took that one meeting to win me over, and shortly ... by Staff Writer

Literary Hub

I am writing this having just read that Canio’s bookstore in Sag Harbor may be forced to move [“Canio’s Books, Long a Sag Harbor Cultural Icon, Faces Uncertain Future as Lease Is Not Renewed,” 27east.com, March 20]. This would deal a massive blow to the cultural life of the town, and to the many residents who have come to rely on this literary hub for its thoughtfully curated selection of new and used books, and its slate of vibrant events. During the depths of the pandemic, Canio’s provided a lifeline for my family — suddenly all living under one roof ... by Staff Writer

Global Warming Is Here

I was sorry not to have signed up for the upcoming Express Sessions event on climate change, which I insist on calling by its true name, which is global warming. We were first warned about it as long ago as the 1980s, and it is still going on. Arctic Sea ice continues to shrink, tornadoes show up in the Midwest more and more often, and we are due soon for another hurricane here in the East. Meanwhile, the big oil companies continue to drill for their buried assets, and the U.S. is one of the biggest oil suppliers on Earth. ... by Anthony Brandt
