iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I am obsessed with her. Have been since I was a teenager. When I happened across her show last year (had no idea it was still on!), I wondered if maybe they've just AI'd her voice and she's off on a remote island somewhere sipping a martini. But I like the spy theory as well.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

This mission is giving me life. I recently read Rocket Men, the story of the Apollo 8 mission around the moon, & I'm so jazzed to see how the science and mission have evolved. Not to mention the number of women involved in this mission compared to Apollo 8. Also everything on earth sucks so YAY NASA

One wonders if the person on the videoconference side knows that they are being broadcast to the entire coffee shop. In my view, that's a key difference between what you're experiencing and two "live" people chatting.

I just overheard a colleague say to another colleague, after they shared a laugh about something, "you're hysterical sometimes." And I know that everything is terrible and we are facing the destruction of [gestures broadly], but I can't stop thinking about that "sometimes."

Agreed, and the more we amplify what Booker is doing, the more we make it matter, in public perception and as an example to other elected officials. On the other hand, the more we disparage and tear it down, the more we make it not matter. It's not all up to him.

It may be performative but that man is making arguments against Trump/Musk/Rs disastrous bullshit cuts while sometimes leaning so heavily on the podium he’s barely standing AND while too many Democrats are too comfortable sitting back doing goddamn nothing. AT THIS POINT, DO FUCKING SOMETHING, DEMS

I'm seeing a lot of cynical reactions to this move from Cory Booker. And I get it!! But performative opposition is a necessary part of effective opposition from the minority. Not sufficient, but necessary. And our electeds need to know we notice when they do well and not just when they do poorly.

Our party may be cooked on the national level, but the way back is taking back power on the local level. And the best way to do that is to get with folks like @runforsomething.net and get into state and local office.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

"Masculine Energy"

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

Oh hey, @charleswlogan.bsky.social ‘s comment reminds me that one of the key assignments in the class is a technoethical evaluation inspired by @civicsoftech.bsky.social . We’re doing an in-class activity analyzing generative AI using the framework, then they evaluate a tech of their choice using it

I have no doubt that teaching this class, at this moment in the US, will be particularly challenging. But these students & the work they do brings me hope. We don't have to accept our probable futures as inevitable. We can imagine & work toward other possibilities. I'm ready for that, how about you?

Amy Collier @amycollier.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

We also explore speculative methods to help us imagine alternate possibilities for the future of technology & our relationships with technology. Students create speculative works for topics of interest like facial recognition, AI, genetic modification, cryptocurrency, social media, and more.
