Once again engaging in the timeless ritual of reaching into the box of blank notebooks in the close to decide which one I'll be writing in for the next year or two.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs are savings.

They spend millions to make sure you stay car dependent, and to make sure you think that’s normal. So normal in fact, that you’ll actually fight to protect that dependency, in the name of “freedom.” Their profit depends on it.

On the one hand, I consider the Canvas Hack to be an act of domestic terrorism; on the other, I wonder what higher education as a whole expected by putting so much of our teaching tools under giant corporate control.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

All federal wind power R&D at the Department of Energy is $0.137 billion. So the government is paying 7x the amount it spends on all wind power R&D just for a fee to kill one wind project. Seems bad.

Even without insane and illegal wars, the thing about any dependency, including car dependency, is that once you’re dependent, they can do whatever they want with the prices. Real freedom is choices. #UrbanTruth
