i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

after class one of my CCNY students walked with me to the subway then rode the train with me while telling me about how much he loves the movie "Chinatown... with Jack Nicholson"

I recently found my teenaged diary entry from September 11, 2001. It includes, in part: "Things like this happen every day throughout the world and America doesn't even bat an eye. I don't think we will learn any lessons."

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Amy Coney Barrett's 'Happy Go Lucky' Haitian Children and the White Savior Narrative
During last week’s Senate hearings, Amy Coney Barrett’s description of her children gave me chills—but not for the reasons most might expect.

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

ICE plans to target Haitians as Temporary Protected Status is set to end, sources say
The plans include arresting migrants in Ohio and quickly putting them on deportation flights to crisis-stricken Haiti, the internal documents indicate.

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill
How long has it been since you've seen the original "Jurassic Park"?

SAM NEILL The last time I watched it in its totality was sitting beside Princess Di at Leicester Square at the London opening.
On the other side of me was my son Tim - he was 11 and completely swept away by it, but about the time the T-Rex turns up, Tim started to fart. And the draft was drifting across me to royalty! I spent the whole film in a muck sweat, thinking, "Princess Di is being exposed to the horrors of a little boy's fart, but she's going to think it's me. I am going to be subliminally blamed for my son's crimes, and I don't think she'll talk to me afterwards." But she was well brought up and never mentioned it.
JEFF GOLDBLUM I love that story, Sam.
I've heard him tell that a couple of times, and it's just amazing the lengths that he will go to still blame the boy.

while I don't think people should have to be extraordinary to deserve protection from deportation, it's also true that every Haitian TPS-holder or asylum-seeker I've met has been unbelievably generous, hardworking, and kind. they would give you the literal shirts off their backs.

I'm not gonna say the Times had this story ready to go but
With TK percent of the vote counted, Mr. Lander, a former city comptroller and mayoral candidate who has criticized Israel’s war in Gaza, was TK points ahead of the incumbent, Representative Dan Goldman, a pro-Israel former federal prosecutor who helped lead the first impeachment inquiry into President Trump, according to The Associated Press.

Mr. Lander benefited from his deep roots in the 10th District, which covers Lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. His victory makes him the likely winner of the general election in November.

On Tuesday, Lander said TK

Read @juliagaffield.bsky.social on FIFA's decision to ban Haiti's original World Cup jersey, the deep pattern this is a part of, and the irony that they are probably helping to educate more people about the Battle of Vertières. Great piece! theconversation.com/fifas-haiti-...
theconversation.com
FIFA’s Haiti jersey ban echoes the long campaign to discredit and downplay the Haitian Revolution
The move is part of a longer history of obscuring and demonizing the Haitian Revolution and its leader, Jean-Jacques Dessalines.

Learning about the treatment of Haiti over the last two and a half centuries really is like putting on the sunglasses in They Live. Haitians defeated slavery and their colonial occupiers and they will never be forgiven and the punishment will never stop.

“My Jewishness demands that I honor my ancestors and the only way I know to do that is to oppose war, violence and injustice and fight for ‘never again for anyone’,” Marianne Hirsch, a scholar of antisemitism and the daughter of Holocaust survivors, wrote in her claim. She cited the Jewish principle of tikkun olam, or repairing the world, as a reason for her speaking out. “When the only acceptable way to be Jewish is to support Israel unconditionally, there is no longer a way for me to be Jewish on Columbia’s campus.”
