I think this is true across the board (see also: Depp, Pitt) that for male celebrities they are frozen in amber how we first encounter them, usually as young heartthrobs or hitmakers, while for female celebrities, it's about how they age and evolve and what was their last hit or latest success.

It was a big deal for my identity when I finally developed the confidence to write in a book. It felt like a taboo, a special privilege for Real, Serious Thinkers. Every time I do it now it’s a tiny reminder that I can engage with any thinker, anywhere, across time and space.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The goal for the next few years is to stay in the know and to take care of each other while we weather and fight all of this. And more, it’s remembering that joy and optimism are revolutionary acts in their own right. They want to steal that, but goddamnit happiness is mine. 🫂

The entire reason AI is being deployed in schools is to funnel money out of schools and into tech companies. Whatever reasons you've convinced yourself that AI edtech is necessary, regardless of how "useful" you think it is, it's sole purpose is to pad the pockets of the wealthy.

I despise when tech execs describe resistance to a new tech product or paradigm as "being scared" i.e. "I understand why musicians are scared but.." it's so condescending. being politically against something or exercising your right to opt out can come from many places other than "being scared"

Which is yet another example of consumer ai tools that cannot do what their marketing promises. It is also another example of how ai mania is trying to collapse all forms of work into an amorphous “content” or in this case “editing” to obscure its ethical, legal and functional failures.

Probably a day to promote this research from David Cortez. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Abstract
Once an exclusively white enterprise, the last forty-five years have witnessed the emergence of a disproportionately Latinx immigration law enforcement workforce. This article addresses the question of why Latinxs elect to work for agencies that have systematically targeted the ethnic communities to which they belong. Where existing scholarship has often implied Latinxs may self-select into immigration law enforcement due to a lack of identification with the immigrant-experience, a dissociation with ethnic identity, and generally restrictionist immigration attitudes, this article finds little empirical evidence to support such an assumption. Analysis of interviews with sixty-one Latinx Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across Arizona, California, and Texas reveals, instead, Latinxs elect to work in immigration law enforcement in service of economic self-interest and survival, with “money,” “a good job,” and “benefits” cited as the primary motivation(s) behind applying for and accepting a job in immigration. This pattern holds irrespective of individual agents’ levels of identification with the immigrant-experience and particular attitudes toward immigration, and suggests a diversity in the demographics of immigration law enforcement agencies that extends beyond mere race and ethnicity, to include a diversity of perspective and potential for empathy.
