We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Yes. I keep thinking about the phrase "rights stripping," which Judith Butler used in a talk at the New School in May, to capture a key element of the techno-fascist political project.

Remember when us phil-tech types said effective altruism was just utilitarianism taken to its worst possible extents? This is what we meant: Real harm for unquantifiable potential benefit. "…'we believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology….'"

Children deserve to experience age-appropriate autonomy and learn how to navigate spaces on their own. Not just to help them become functional adults but also to help their childhoods flourish. If I could afford a tiny human, this is why I would raise them in NYC

Killed. NSF’s SBE was killed, in violation of law. The President does not have the power to choose to kill programs at a whim by defunding them. The imperial presidency was a mistake and we are in a separation of powers constitutional crisis.

Trump’s insider trading is, on its own, the worst corruption scandal in US history, with $$$ dwarfing Teapot Dome. So are Trump’s bribes-for-pardons. So is the Qatar bribe plane. So is all the Saudi money he (and Kushner) have pocketed. And the ballroom. And more. Each alone would be the worst.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

The face of a dog that's never held butter in her mouth before and is unsure that she made the right choice, but in this house we commit to the bit
The cropped face is a yellow dog with a pink nose named Subaru holding a stick of butter in her mouth, with a little smeared on her nose. It's exactly as silly as you think it is.

Three panel comic. An upset young woman sits at an outdoor cafe table. She says earnestly to her boyfriend, “it’s like you don’t even listen to me anymore…” Panel 2: Her boyfriend, sitting across from her at the table, is making a strained, distracted expression. He says, “babe, I’m sorry— I just—“ Panel 3: he continues, “there is something so insane behind you right now. Behind his annoyed-looking girlfriend, there is a monkey in sunglasses and a backwards cap sitting side-saddle on a parked motorbike.

ICE’s charter airlines are basically impossible to boycott, because only one also offers ticketed commercial flights. But there are other ways to affect their bottom lines. We have a working theory of the case, y’all. Hit them in the pocketbook, and suddenly the “impossible” is possible.

People truly believe their children are not autonomous beings. I see this over and over again with the transphobes in my comments. They think their children are a direct extension of themselves. Not only that they are the boss of their kids, but that their kids don’t have independent humanity.
