"Repeatedly accuse your opponents of doing something they are not doing, so that when you take power and actually do it, the worst you'll face is 'both sides do it' handwringing." It's a low, shitty, dishonest strategy, but it works, again and again and again.

I know I'm not the first person or even the millionth person to point this out; it's not even the first time *I* have said it, but this is what actual First Amendment violations look like and the fact that none of the supposed free speech warriors are saying anything about it tells us everything.

Useful technology isn't something people are forced to use. This was one of the really interesting things I heard maybe a year ago from so many pundits. Things like "I'm trying to think of ways to use this so I become good at it." That's not how productivity tools are supposed to work.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

Q: So I wonder what you think about that, about the phrase “globalize the intifada” and what we've seen as some anti-semitism coming from the left-wing protesters.

A: The first thing as you were saying is anti-semitism is a real issue in our city and it's one that can be captured in statistics, the ones that you're citing. It's also one that you will feel in conversations you have with Jewish New Yorkers across the city. And I remember one conversation I had with a friend of mine after the horrific war crime of October 7th. He was telling me that he went for Shabbat services at his temple and he was facing forward when he heard the door open. And he turned back with a chill going up his spine because he didn't know who was coming in. And that's more than a year ago.

And then just a few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a Jewish man in Williamsburg who told me that the same door he would keep unlocked for decades is one that he now locks out of a fear of what could happen in his own neighborhood. And I think that this is something that has to be the focus of the next mayoral administration, is not just talking about it, but tackling it. And these are the conversations that have informed our commitment around increasing funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800% in our Department of Community Safety.

To the question of language that's being used. I am someone who I would say am less comfortable with the idea of banning the use of certain words and that I think it is more evocative of a Trump style approach to how to lead a country. And-

Q: Does that just make you uncomfortable? Like the phrase globalizing intifada. And like the phrase from the river to the sea, does that make you uncomfortable? Or do you think-

A: Okay, those are different. Those are super different.

Q: They're not really.

A: Those are like different genres.

Q: I'm sorry, I'm asking so wrong. Then they're not really different to me. And to some people they are not different.

A: I know people for whom those things mean very different things. And to me, ultimately, what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights. And I think what's difficult also is that the very word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw ghetto uprising into Arabic because it's a word that means struggle. And as a Muslim man who grew up post-911, I'm all too familiar in the way in which Arabic words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used to justify any kind of meaning. And I think that's where it leaves me with a sense that what we need to do is focus on keeping Jewish New Yorkers safe. And the question of the permissibility of language is something that I haven't ventured.

Why I can't sleep: The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 stripped Jews of German citizenship. If one parent was a Jew, they & their children were no longer German citizens, even if the other parent was German. Today SCOTUS basically said they're ok with that rule here! For at least a generation, RIP America.

A patient at UC San Diego received a letter threatening to have their care discontinued if they continued to request staff wear N95s. The letter calls this behaviour “disruptive” Covid isn’t over. An N95 is one of the best ways to protect yourself. It’s not disruptive to fight for your health.

Letter from UC San Diego. Patient details are redacted. Text reads

Health and your doctor are committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for our patients, staff, and physicians. Disruptive, abusive, and/or threatening behavior negatively impacts our ability to maintain the therapeutic environment that is so important to both patient and staff well-being.
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with written notification of our concerns with reports we've recently received about your behavior during visits at
with your provider, support staff, and Practice Manager. Specifically, we received reports that on 5/16/2025, 5/15/2025, 4/22/2025, 4/15/2025, 3/27/2025, 3/25/2025, 3/20/2025 you repeatedly requested that staff wear N95 masks prior to your arrival and during your appointment.
On 5/16/2025 you were informed that although we cannot guarantee that staff will be masked before your arrival we are accommodating and would wear a mask if asked. Our policy is to mask when requested but a requirement of N95 masking is outside of our policy.
Your recent behavior is not acceptable and a violation of UCSD Health's policies. Please note that continued disruptive behavior may result in further action up to and including discontinuation of your healthcare at UC San Diego Health and its affiliated clinics. Moving forward, we expect that you will be courteous and respectful to the staff, providers, and patients in our clinic.
If you are unsatisfied with UCSDH's method of care, you may want to consider seeking treatment at another health care facility. If you wish to establish with another provider in San Diego, you may obtain more resources by contacting the San Diego Medical Society at (858) 565-8888 or through their website at www.sdcms.org.
If you disagree with the contents of this letter, you have the right to file a complaint with our Patient Experience team. You may contact them via email at welisten@health.ucsd.edu or via phone at (619)543-5678.

The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write
anything for others to read. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning. It reduces the amount of intention in the world.
