I think when I retire from salaried work and crank up my website I'm going to offer a service for journalists and podcasters called, "Ask an Old Person." Because sometimes they blow their credibility just because they failed to, you know, ask an old person.

All of this. I know that there's a surfeit of bad news and Trumpian horrors, but sanctioning the ICC is an outrage that deserves our attention even with so much else vying for it.

When I was hired to pentest software the rules of engagement were made very clear to me - I am responsible for my tools, at all times. When testing any software I had signed-off consent, and videoed the signing. Because if I did what anthropic/openai is doing I would be fired and likely jailed.

Hard to pull off without massive vote interference (not that they wouldn't try, but their follow through sucks) though I do think PR might be more purple than people think.

Also famous for making translators sign away the rights to their own translations. So they’re well on their way to not recognizing the humanity of translators, why wouldn’t they embrace the robot movement?

This is fantastic news. The biggest problem with this is that if all the nations of earth create similar tax policies, the few billionaires who might otherwise flee will remain in your country for not having a more advantageous nation to which they can retreat. We'd be stuck with them.

Progressive theater groups have been at the heart of Indian protest movements since the founding of IPTA (Indian Progressive Theatre Association) in 1943. It’s no wonder that Neha Bora, one of the most effective and charismatic protesters in the current movement, is a part of that tradition.

I have a zero tolerance attitude towards mocking people for being physically "ugly". That's literally the weapon of the enemy. That's what people with power use against trans people, overweight people, BIPOC people, leftists and liberals in general. DO BETTER.

During Argentina’s “dirty war,” the military dictatorship killed or disappeared tens of thousands of people. Somewhere between 2-3000 of those were Jews, about five to ten times more than their share of the population. This was not called “the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust…”

It helps to think of "law enforcement" as a warrior aristocracy whose concept of honor involves self-serving solidarity, rather than a profession devoted to community service. How else to explain premodern levels of multi-generational family membership, the rent-seeking, the impunity?
