i don’t think permanent exile is the only form that justice can take in situations like these, although i’m not really sure what else specifically there might be. but one definite ingredient is honesty, and several of his collaborators do not perceive him as having been honest about it

it’s possible that if he’d been more upfront with his colleagues in the past he’d be in a slightly different spot now. “yes i did it and i took accountability and i’ve changed as a person” is a harder thing to persuade someone of after things have already blown up

yeah obv if his friends were just closing ranks around him with obvious spin that wouldn't be evidence of anything, but nobody appears to be so much as hedging against the possibility that he's not that guy anymore and he's already faced sufficient consequences

yeah since it was a while ago, I was hoping but not really expecting that it would turn out that the details weren't quite that catastrophic and he'd taken accountability at the time and he'd changed as a person since then, but nobody around him is reacting as though that's what's up

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

bored, constantly; disappointed, frequently; exhausted, occasionally; but outraged, rarely, at this point. probably healthy but not exactly motivating

i think some of the JPEG XL art demos count as art-via-craft; Iceberg (2022) would still be compelling even if it weren’t a 34 byte JXL (via jpegxl.info/art/)

they really should. if I could pull in these two in particular from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Me... that would spark joy I think

sometimes it feels like everybody has already made up their mind about ai in programming and there’s no further discussion to be had. either people are right on purpose and don’t need convincing, or they’re wrong on purpose and don’t want convincing

not their fault if the TLD operator hiked the prices, but definitely their fault for not indicating anything had happened. i do not support all small businesses. some of you bitches are very incompetent

porkbun emailed me saying that a couple of my TLDs are going to get more expensive soon. which was the last kick i needed to move all my domains off my prior registrar, who earlier this year quietly autorenewed a previously $30/yr domain at $3000

trying to force myself to lock in and write a blog post. i think i might like semicolons too much; it’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it does feel weird looking back at three sentences in a row that are each two sentences joined at the hip

the ideology of our age includes a politiczed streak of obsessive voyeurism, often voyeurism for its own sake. 'analysis', 'lore', 'bearing witness'. privacy is functionally dead. "I didn't consent to see this" is under neoliberalism a claim that your permission is required for things to exist

I was a little nervous this afternoon when you hadn't been online for longer than usual, but the last like four times I've been nervous you've been. not always technically okay but not as bad as I was afraid of. and I guess sometimes I'm still right to be nervous but it turns out okay in the end
