It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

Between recent Cornell events, historical Cornell events we've heard about lately, and related spin-off events (e.g., group chats of young men who are gleeful about the Cornell situation), I'm ready for us to move into immediate and permanent correction

I do NOT have the patience for this day, man. The person who requested a meeting that I *know* is just going to be me reading aloud the document I already sent her that she will not read on her own and process didn't include a Teams link. I am already over this Tuesday.

It's so frustrating when people create more work for you & then don't understand why it's taking time. This is a shitty process, I don't have control over it, it has this many steps & you giving me incorrect info to start with is causing me to now have to redo that process. You will have to wait.

I cannot express enough to you how much I do not care abt this. I like the quick preview of what's arriving that day. I like the mail being delivered, I like the mail sending. I like when things are not lost. The rest of this is just more stuff nobody asked for. Ppl do not *need* another push notif

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

I know we’re all tired of being on Zoom, but some important Zoom etiquette reminders:

- everyone wants to see your cat

- don’t just say “my cat is here,” hold your cat up to the camera so we can see it

- when your cat is on camera, either say “cat” or type “cat” in the chat

There's a fool on Nextdoor whom I have decided to destroy. He is just such an ignorant tool. He has been wrong, publicly, too many times, and I have had enough of him. He will know shame, and stop posting his truly misinformed takes.

Work thing but while it's nice to get to a point in your career where you've been doing something so long you can kinda auto-pilot through it/it takes less time & energy, it can also be spooky to complete something and then be like "Wait did I do that thing?..." (You did do the thing, well)

Will never NOT be angry about this. People should not have to struggle to survive, and we should be able to look forward to the end of our working days knowing things will be alright in our last years on this earth, however many of them there are.

Apple, ffs. I’m tired of opening emojis on my GD iPad when I’m going for “123”.

The outright refusal to treat white supremacy as an ideology which motivates action and treat it as generally objectionable is what allows this strategy to be viable for Elon Musk.

"why does the left distrust AI" certainly has plenty to do with the technology itself but at its core I think it is about the fact that everyone building it is a wannabe fascist oligarch and nobody trusts them on a god damn thing

“In 2027 we’re going to embed AI into everything!” Okay great but have you considered that our clients have told us for years that what they like about us is the human relationships they have with us that they don’t get from our competitors?

the truly crazy making part of all of this is that voter fraud EFFECTIVELY DOES NOT EXIST. you have a better chance of finding an actual leprechaun at the end of the rainbow than of finding evidence of voter fraud that influences an election

I continue to use Apple Music because I still have a lot of my mp3 library. However. I cannot get over how annoying the most recent iterations of it have been. I have a playlist. It is set to shuffle and repeat.

Worth noting, as Macklemore was banned by NFL owners in what will be dubbed "fighting antisemitism", that Kanye, who - sold merch with swastikas - said on Alex Jones that he idolizes Hitler - tweeted he was "going Defcon 3 on Jewish people" is currently on a multi-city tour of NFL stadiums
