an odd moment was the president posting an image wearing one glove and posing with xi, a photoshopped blonde woman, and a row of droids the president running an overtly political campaign ad paid for by the us government is a sign of blatant corruption and disregard for the rule of law

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

Technology enthusiasts severely overestimate the average person’s desire or willingness or capacity to build and use AI agents. I understand some work roles that could mandate or encourage it but that is no way a tech revolution. Agents are best for structured, clearly delineated tasks.

Listen, I just think it's weird that the same people who are saying they're worried that AI is going to wipe out humanity are also eager for military contracts that will give AI control of weapons.

"RKF took money earmarked to provide health care for Black infants and spent it on his personal security detail" is a ludicrous headline. Comic book villainy.

You know how your levels of cynicism have ratcheted up in the past 8-10 years, no matter how much faith you had in change a decade ago? You know that tired feeling? That feeling of always swimming upstream? Of watching wins dissolve and disappear? Now imagine all of that but for thirty years.

There's plenty of corruption, crimes against humanity, and downright evil shit to focus on, but every so often it strikes me how thoroughly we USians have been exposed and disgraced on the world stage. A country who can elect such a man—twice!—is not a worthy country. We need radical reformation.

I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

A black and white night photo showing part of my garden with small landscaping rocks in the foreground, plants shrubs and flowers in the middle and background. A raccoon is sitting in the center of the frame, looking towards the camera with its mouth open, its face looks as though it could be smiling and its eyes look happy, it is indeed very friend shaped. We can see its black face mask and nose, white whiskers and little, raccoon ears. Its tail is only just visible with only a hint of black at the end.

Rest in peace, Wendell Berry.
The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

from Openings: Poems (1968)
