Waffled between grading essays, watching hockey, and wondering if WWIII was gonna implode tonight. This shit has become normal Tuesday fare and I’m both floored by that feeling and also numb to it. Does that make any sense? Is that odd? Being a millennial truly is trash like that I suppose.

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.

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

Perhaps my most milquetoast take of the year so far is that I genuinely like my Allbirds shoes. They’re comfy and stand up to what I need out of a shoe. Now as for the company, read the news, something about reaping what you sow etc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ICE detentions without sufficient probable cause or due process continue in Minnesota. ICE Air flights are still operating at MSP. On March 10, they decreased to twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Volunteer observers, coordinated by MN50501, remain committed to observing every flight. 🧵 Recap

A graph showing the number of ICE detainees flown out of MSP by day between Nov 10 2025 and Mar 23 2026. There's a gradual increase from occasional 20 people per day at the beginningn, slowly increasing to a few of 45 people per day around January 1, before a quick increase peaking in early January, and slowing down towards the end of February, where sporadic days start appearing with a handful to 25 people some days.

Hey academia, we gotta stop taking ideas from other people in the year of our Lord 2026. If that which we call plagiarism would get you 86'd in grad school, what makes it okay to do now that we're on the other side? At LEAST cite the people you're in conversation with. It takes ~1min to do.

Not everyone needs to, nor wants to, use LLMs in academic research, and Taylorizing the scholarly enterprise does nothing positive for the pursuit of a better understanding of society and the world.
