Chaotic good archaeologist. Work-from-home enthusiast. Everyone’s history is important. Smaller class sizes. Prison is immoral. AI is for losers who don’t know how to use computers. ACAB. Sorry for being so awkward.

Folks have insulted:  My Southern drawl.  My loc’d hair.  My clothes.  My shoes.  My intelligence.  I’ve been called a ghetto Black b!t€h. Now @JDVance says I don’t belong and should leave the very country my ancestors helped build. This is a lot y’all. It is. #AngieForFlorida

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Like Hitler didn’t do it for the cruelty, fam. It was all very cruel, but the cruelty wasn’t the point. Trump is draining the government coffers. It’s very clear that cruelty isn’t the point with him either.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

Honestly, as someone who has actually managed interns, it feels very adjacent to that. Lots of people who don't actually have to manage people frequently suggest "interns" as a solution to any number of capacity problems, not thinking about how much it takes to supply them with/oversee the work.

For people just joining us, here's what's happening. AI types sold a bunch of B2B snake oil to C suites who forced it on employees. The promises they made haven't come true and now they're pivoting to a protection racket trying to scare those same idiots who believed the first set of lies

as a person who went to an 80s rich kid high school where the faculty were having sex and doing coke with the rich kids and punishing the not-rich kids (as needed to keep us down), yeah, most rich people are fucking awful and they’re enabled by those who want the impunity of wealth for themselves

Greatest trick AI leaders have pulled is convincing many people—especially influential people in govt, media, and business—that their software is intelligent, independent, yet never culpable. Humans build it, humans deploy it, but no one bears responsibility for the things that happen when they do.

it’s genuinely fascinating how establishment democratic politics in big cities has become so ossified and incompetent that they’ve created a huge lane for the left to embrace good government reforms and build a broad coalition of socialists and technocrats
