Nancy, from the comic strip Nancy, thinking hard with "Woims" and a bucket of woims and several complex looking equations and geometry things floating in the background, as if serious thought is happening.

Look, comments like this is why people think AI boosters are full of shit. You can't advertise AI as "the machine that will crush artists' careers into dust" and then look at an artist decrying it and just say, "Psh, psycho much?" There are real, material concerns at play!

Reading Amy Greenberg's A WICKED WAR and learning that James K. Polk's wife, Sarah, was basically exactly the kind of faux-tradwife fascist dipshit that Phyllis Schlafley was but fully a century earlier was interesting. But learning she looked like THIS? Wild hair choice.
Sarah Childress Polk, with completely flat doll hair down to her ears, and then extremely pronounced ringlets all around her head. You could not pay me to go outside looking like this.

One of my favorite characters I’ve played lately in a TTRPG was a transmasc shadowrunner named Ricky Slimp, a dirtbag little fucker who wants to rip off corpos and have grimy sex with weirdos. No one liked him. He was my most beautiful baby boy.

ICE must be defunded and destroyed in its entirety and every person who enabled and worked for it must be stripped of all honor and government employment forever. Their names should be added to registries and people should be notified if they're moving into their neighborhoods. They're dangerous.

Yud knows nothing about how computers or science works. He is a 'rationalist' in the sense that he believes you should use the facade of logic to humiliate people into submitting (see HPatMoR), but he fundamentally doesn't understand basic science, especially computer science.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

just makes me sick, blood is on so many companies' hands
As the audience hears from the confessors’ subdued voices, it becomes clear that any number of naza were acceptable if it meant killing someone deemed a threat to the state of Israel. The military would wait for nightfall when people would come home to their families, eavesdrop to find out when children would say “daddy’s home,” and use AI-derived information to obliterate whole blocks. Entire families could be wiped out at the suggestion of bunk AI data, and multistory buildings, like the ones hosting these conversations in Tel Aviv, could be sent down to earth, killing everyone inside. Although we’ve read the news that Israeli forces are using American technology, including generative AI, to murder Palestinians, hearing about how it’s put into practice makes it undeniable—not to mention undeniably terrifying to contemplate that a new future of tech-driven war against dissidents and designated “others” is already underway.

What use was it to bring the writer and activist Chanel Miller to campus in the spring just for fraternity brothers to scroll, bored, on their phones as she movingly shared her experience as Emily Doe, the victim of Brock Turner? As I wrote at the time, I was floored and dismayed as I sat in the audience with one of my brilliant undergraduates; we heard Miller’s shattering account of being sexually assaulted by Turner behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. Her talk was riveting, and there was so much to learn from it. And yet many of the male students who hailed predominantly from fraternities — 15 percent of each chapter was required to be in attendance — were so tuned out that Miller commented ruefully: “You know, this has been my hardest gig, because they didn’t turn down the house lights. I’m not sure how you professors do it, because it’s so hard looking out at this sea of mildly disgruntled faces. I mean, I’m sure you’re all very moved, but …,” Miller smiled. The implication being, it didn’t seem like it, from her angle.
