I spent years fighting for tech in the classroom for disability access reasons, arguing that no, accommodation wasn't enough, go for universal design. I've given up. I've lost. AI humping motherfuckers ruined it. As they ruin everything.

A note on Royce White, the former NBA player who says he's entering the WNBA draft, a judge ruled he abused his wife and teenage son in an April court order and determined he could not have contact with either of them for 50 years. Great way to "protect women's sports" transphobes.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

While I’ve got some disagreements with Josh M, I agree that anti-Zionism does sometimes function this way. An irony here is that conflating Jewish identity with Zionism has long been an Israeli project. That project is failing recently but it’s part of birthright trips etc. (1/2)

Hot take: Reading Seamus Heaney's letters and Collected Poems, I get a bit of a Bono vibe. Terrific promise, excellent early work, tends to suck up all the air in the room, peaked at a certain point (The Haw Lantern = The Joshua Tree), but in the end a bit of a bollocks.

🤨 My brother-in-arms who joined at 18-years-old just as the Cold War was ending said he signed up for the good pay and education benefits. Thirteen years later, we buried him in Arlington. He got a Purple Heart & a posthumous promotion so his widow could get benefits at a fractionally higher level.

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

LETTERS TO WENDY'S

ApriL 19, 1997

It is rare for a babv to be so bad that it is sentenced to be
hanged, and even rarer for the sentence to be carried out,
and vet, when a baby is hung, what a pleasant surprise it is
for the passersby. Even the passerby whose arms and legs
are bound is able to inch up close enough to the tiny,
swaying, villainous nugget of softness and know, with his
bare cheek, the threshold through which real evil sinks
away

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.
