I love when people call me a Luddite. MRNA vaccines? Inject that content into my muscles. Solid state batteries? Fuck yeah let's scale that shit and get it out there. Agrivoltaic breakthroughs marrying plants and technology? LET'S GO, power + plants is specifically my jam.

“his positions on major issues have been consistent with the values of most Massachusetts voters and this board.” This should be understood as stating a formal editorial position against trans rights. Deeply disappointing from @bostonglobe.com.

Ah yes, the moment has come when my spouse, whose summer camps in rural PA involved a shooting range & live ammunition, and I, who spent her childhood summers weeding beet fields on a collective Soviet farm, have stayed up reassuring ourselves that our child can do hard things.

I'm very sad that Marjane Satrapi has died. She taught me that it is possible to love your people & your home while being furious every day at your government & at the dealings, aggressive or manipulative, of other nations' governments with yours. I wish she had seen more & better days.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

It's not just Iran whose surrender is being demanded. It's yours. Your hope. Your belief in yourself and our collective potential. Your empathy. They want to crush those things. They want you to believe their will is inevitable. They want you to surrender.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

When the dust settles, and if universities have meaningfully survived, it will be worth asking how institutions usually so resistant to thoroughgoing change chose to leap with both feet into an untested technology they didn't understand and didn't know how to use.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I think what makes this thing so stupid is they're handing out tacos outside the RNC HEADQUARTERS. There are actually hungry people out there right now, every single thing costs a dollar more at the supermarket. RNC flaks will literally eat your lunch and send a masked man to round up your neighbor.

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man.
You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."
