In high school, my teachers taught us to investigate source material. Where information came from, who was telling it, who they were telling it to. Not all information is created equal. Anyway, it took me a while to realize that level of analysis, fundamental in my life, is not widely taught.

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

It’s also really clear to me this week that the people telling us that AI will transform work…haven’t seen a lot of jobs where people work.

Of course @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social has the most interesting review of the MAHA Summit. She asks who organized the event, who attended, and where the money goes. Kennedy likes to keep his grift in the family. Zadrozny notes: "Finn was the summit’s first speaker." www.ms.now/news/maha-su...
If the divergent, often competing pet interests of the activists within MAHA made the movement hard to define, the structure behind the business of MAHA is murkier still. The summit was presented by MAHA Center, a nonprofit helmed by Tony Lyons, publisher of Kennedy’s books and other contrarian works. Lyons also runs MAHA Action, a separate nonprofit, and MAHA PAC, the rebranded super PAC that bankrolled Kennedy’s presidential bid and is now backing Republican candidates in the midterms. Tickets to the summit went to “MAHA members” who enrolled at the $6,000-a-year tier — a membership advertised and presented by Lyons’ MAHA Action but whose agreement is with MAHA Holdings, a separate entity with no public-facing website, about which little is known beyond its CEO, former tech entrepreneur Alex Hardy, and one board member: Kennedy’s 29-year-old son, Finn.

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

🍳 A messy comic of a scene from O Brother Where Art Thou. Delmar and Everett are in a movie theater looking behind them in their seats. Delmar is saying " We thought you was a Toad" to a confused looking Pete (surrounded by question marks).

when someone who’s addicted to arguing on here is making an argument you agree with you may be tempted to enter the fray in support, but this is a folly. they want to argue more than they want to hold actual beliefs. you will be a casualty of friendly fire

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.

Oh shit the White Sox are literally on a mission from God
Letter to Jerry Reinsdorf from the pope

I was pleased to receive the kind letter that you
sent
following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026

Marx described commodity fetish as the imaginary of capital being more alive, having greater agency, and requiring more deference than the worker who produces it
For people who deny Al personhood for any Al model at any point in the future, you're going to need better arguments than this. There are arguments out there, but once agents can solve Navier-Stokes, write music and poetry, and provide people with seemingly fulfilling life advice, this kind of line is just not going to be persuasive. "YOU'RE CRAZY" no longer lands.

Thinking Al might be conscious is like thinking that there are real people talking to you from inside the
