the job and the drudgery were the compromise position. we all got up and packed a lunch and got on the subway because that was how you put food on the table. this was the basic understanding. seems like a million years ago to me now. lmao, haha, lol. i owe my kids an apology

Days after the NFL fined him for wearing Hind Rajab’s name, Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair returned to the field with another Palestinian child on his eye black: 8-year-old Wafaa Akila. Wafaa was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza on September 6 — her first day of school.

It’s odd that they build these language models to take natural language as input, when you consider that most people can just barely manage to communicate verbally as it is. Using words is an actual skill

It’s not even on some inherent shit but it is a cultural indictment. It’s just always gonna be a fact that cultures oriented around oppression & suppression are gonna result in shit being less dope than cultures oriented around freedom & expression. Change your ways America. It’s not too late.

Glad to see all this love for comics creator Jack Kirby, but has anyone looked into his real politics? (Briefly researches) "The only real politics I knew was that if a guy liked Hitler, I'd beat the stuffing out of him and that would be it." Huh, never mind.

Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration. Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.

Understand that the Billionaire class is just absolutely furious that even being that rich doesn’t mean they can own people. It explains so much of their obsessions, from driverless cars and AI to zero hours contracts and migration paranoia.

our entire global financial system is currently leveraged to the hilt on the premise that it was good and right for a small cadre of US companies to steal all of the intellectual work ever produced by humanity and sell its back to us without credit or remuneration to the authors (plagiarism)

The only conversation worth having is how Black people are overpoliced & over-punished & held to different standards in all aspects of life. That there is an outrage when Black people transgress that isn’t there when their non-Black counterparts do.

Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...
Axios: AI has become my reading buddy as I've plowed through my summer book list, helping me keep track of plots and characters, unpack themes, and make sense of wordy, old prose.

Why it matters: The way many of us actually read books — a few pages before bed, a chapter at the beach, another on a plane — makes it easy to lose the thread. AI can help you pick it back up without starting over.
📖 I really got into using AI while reading James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." The text was far too dense for casual vacation reading. My first prompt asked:

"I'd like a guide as I read The Last of the Mohicans who can help me understand what I've read and where the story is, without giving spoilers or getting ahead of my progress. Can you do this, chapter by chapter?"
The robot agreed: "Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic."
