cognitive offloading is only a problem if not reading the email becomes an impediment to daily life. otherwise, it’s just called “a productivity increase.” i haven’t remembered a single appointment for the last 20 years, because i spent that mental energy getting good at google calendar

gavin is the most juiceless person on earth. if, by some fluke in the fabric of spacetime, he becomes the nominee, i honestly think i would just be too outwardly embarrassed to vote for him. i wouldn’t be able to face the little old ladies who run my precinct

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

too many people get off on this kind of abuse and torture. it’s pure sexual gratification for prison staff, and the masses of american hogs simply love gratuitous violence

Hey folks—I got limited or something on Cash App so if you got an error sending there that’s why. I’m figuring out what the deal is with support. If you want you can try again with PayPal, but otherwise, no sweat and thank you for thinking of me!

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

i can’t wait until someone figures out how to train a programming LLM, without including all the lazy behavior littered around github. i just want a model that doesn’t spend all its time trying to game metrics, and just does what i ask

abuse of the public trust should be the one and only capital crime, and it should be handed down liberally, and often. it’s simple pragmatism. it will only take a few examples for everyone to start flying right, so no matter how you cut it, so to speak, it’s win/win

I'm sorry, who's calling a whom a weirdo? Is it the guy pacing the stage in a suit so ill-fitting it looks like he outgrew it at Princeton, with shoes that can only be described as "varieties of dog poo brown," and Simpsons-yellow hands? Are the weirdos in the room with us now, Pete?

the most galling aspect of late stage capitalism is the idea that these public institutions aren’t actually public goods, and are just another asset class to be exploited. there is no reason a board of trustees should be able to unilaterally decide to shutter an institution to goose earnings. none

destroying Greek life would be useful for stemming an entire mode of social reproduction which, as I must remind everyone, was born of the confederate south. Greek life prides itself on keeping the tradition of rape alive in more than one form. Sometimes literal.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

i’m anti-proliferation except in this case. iran with a credible deterrent is the only hope for regional stability. every us president that looked the other way while israel built their bombs is, in my view, personally responsible for the chaos and havoc that’s defined the last 70 years

mayors and city councils have near-unlimited power to make life miserable for anyone within their sphere of influence. university, corporation, federal government. doesn’t matter. if the mayor wants to fuck up your day, he will. i wish more municipalities were willing to exert that power for good

A) Genocide is a crime established by intent, not by the relative scale or banality of the damage B) the three regimes cited are all credibly accused of genocide, war crimes and ethnic cleansing so I'm not sure this is the slam dunk you think it is.
