We had this post on Instagram get flooded with suspected bots late last week…funny enough, engagement dropped to near silence for 48 hours after Ukraine bombed the data centers. Probably not a way to confirm anything, but it’s ramping back up again. Remember, you may be arguing with a Russian bot.

When the dog fountain unveiled years ago, the usual suspects whined that it was declasse and cheesy, but it's now a beloved piece of city architecture. People pose with it, bring their dogs to visit it (the dogs all love it of course, it's a fountain) and just generally have a lovely time around it.

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

just a periodic reminder that sex worker rights, trans rights, and abortion rights are all the same issue. you’re either for bodily autonomy, or you’re against it.

Why talk about how nuts the AI rationalist sex cult is, and not just focus on the (very real) risks and harms of AI? Well, when we're discussing "who should get to regulate AI, and how," I think it's VERY relevant to talk about the antisocial, unsettling ways many people running US AI think.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

When Trump is finally defeated, remember that the hangers-on and the ghouls surrounding him, the JD Vances of the world, will all claim that they were trying to moderate his evil and they should be thanked. And we need to remember that this is a lie. They were willing to do anything for power.

The only thing I will say about Odyssey discourse is that people who are insisting that things must be 100% faithful with no alterations are acting in service of white supremacy. They may not think that's what they are doing, but they are.
