iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

@katelynburns.com I finally heard the Cancel Me, Daddy episode about Sam Altman. After listening to it I freaked out that I was possibly cooking with Drizzle. Got home, checked the cabinet, and it was Sizzle. Such a relief!

Love yourself as much as Bill Murray hates himself in Ghostbusters II, and you'll do well in life.

I will be eternally grateful to have been born in a literate culture where literacy was valued and expected and I still had the time, attention, and freedom to develop a literacy practice. Understanding context, inference, vocabulary, perspective, affect — all powerful, useful skills and values.

hey y'all please don't make fun of Shane Gillis for being fat make fun of him for being a misogynistic troll who can't think of anything more groundbreaking than "why women give boner" and having the facial hair and rizz of a 14 y/o boy Limp Bizkit fan in 2006

I like this framing. It gets at the asymmetry of the conservative civil society and the 70 year attack on the public sphere.

At the same time that we are asked to embrace the morality of the AI machine, we are giving up our own morality by streaming executions for public entertainment. American priorities need a serious review.

This week I started to show my Witches students Hocus Pocus (1993) and they were like "this is a bit violent for kids right?" when the witches are hanged, and I was like "no, no, it's just from the 90s." And then I watched the rest of it at home and was like "yowza" so I wrote about that feeling.

Louise Erdrich is so good, it’s easy to take for granted how good she is. By which I mean great, of course.

The cover of Louise Erdrich’s book of stories, Python’s Kids. The cover shows the book’s title and the author’s name in green ink. A gold and blue python-like design flows over a black background.

This week I watched Mystic Pizza which feels like eating an apple cider donut with a nice coffee in a big chunky sweater and blanket while listening to rustling leaves (apart from a momentary Mar-a-Lago jump scare), and it has such a classic 80s, precious little buried metaphor, ugh what a delight.

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you see it? P.S. I am extremely serious.

Screenshot from the scene in Bloodsport when Jean Claude Van Damme's character gets dust thrown in his eyes then gets all emotional thinking about his teacher. The screenshot itself shows Jean Claude mid-scream looking intense while making fists.

A lot of Dems could take a lesson from this and openly acknowledge that their opponents are bigots. The resistance (mostly from establishment centrists) to stating plainly what's happening instead of using weasel words for the sake of civility is what makes voters think we're spineless.
