AI is inevitable is the same argument as everyone will be disabled one day. They both mean, if you can’t stop it, you might as well capitalize on it.

No clue why this dude wrote me, of all people, about an 8-part documentary series on disability and AI, but anyone got any ideas about how to put a stop to it?
Motion Pictures, we're developing Artificially Curious, an eight-part documentary TV series. We'd love to explore your interest in contributing.
The series follows Spencer West, a disability advocate and creator with millions of followers, and Dr. Kory Mathewson, a Staff Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, as they explore how Al is changing independence, connection and belonging.
Your work with The Disabled List connects closely with our exploration of creativity and authorship. As generative Al and adaptive tools enter fashion, art and media, we want to ask what meaningful creative power looks like for disabled people. Who shapes the tools, who gets credited, and who benefits? Your perspective could help Spencer and Kory examine those questions and challenge assumptions about disability, design and cultural contribution.

We don’t know that he did actually rally other stadium owners. We just know he told Ed Sheeran that he did. That’s not to say they wouldn’t have acquiesced. I just think it’s useful to consider just how recklessly Kraft is willing to speak on behalf of others.

It's going to sound strange, but the thing I am most struck by is that he felt the need to disclose (or claim) that Macklemore asked to join his tour. Says everything you need to know about Sheeran.

“I am not complicit,” I say plaintively, while siding with a billionaire censoring artists for speaking about genocide. “I have opinions. You will never know them. But they exist.” I continue, “This should insulate me from criticism even as I, again, side with the billionaire censor.”

Fan-run Ed Sheeran tour account announces it will take a break: "LoopTourUA is deeply saddened & disappointed by Ed & his team's decisions…it is not a political stance to be against the massacre of innocent people and their homes and we hope Ed Sheeran can see this…"
Tweet from @looptourUA, with a patched up heart in the tweet text:

The Loop Tour UA
@looptourUA
In light of the recent disappointing events regarding Ed Sheeran and his tour, this update account will be taking a break from updating the shows - except if they are related to the Macklemore ‘boycott'.
Loop TourUA is deeply saddened & disappointed by Ed & his team's decisions. Here's to hoping a decent statement will come out from the british artist's team.
It is not a political stance to be against the massacre of innocent people and their homes and we hope Ed Sheeran can see this and reflect on his decisions.
Thank you all for understanding.

The blame for this falls entirely on Sheeran, who absolutely knew Macklemore was vocally pro-Palestine prior to this tour.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

BBC invited Palestinian writer, researcher and analyst Muhammad Shehada on to talk about Israel’s decision to investigate the killing of Hind Rajab. Below is Muhammad’s account of what happened next. Full disclosure: I know him years and he’s a regular on the pod. So naturally I believe him 100%.
@muhammadshehad2
Disappointed the BBC cancelled my interview on
Israel's killing of Hind Rajab
2 producers eagerly reached out. They confirmed the time & one called to prepare a brief for the anchor
She asked me whether Israel's announcement is positive, I explained in detail it was a cover up.
The IDF is blaming the killing of Hind, her uncle, aunt & 4 cousins on the family itself for trying to flee by car & on the ambulance sent to rescue her for "failures in the co-ordination of the movement."
None of this is remotely true! The Red Cross immediately informed the IDF about 5-year-old Hind who was hiding in that motionless car, & they requested permission from Israel to allow an ambulance to rescue them.
After multiple long hours, Israel granted greenlight to the ambulance & provided them with a designated route on a GPS to drive on.soon as the ambulance reached Hind's car, the IDF ambushed & bombed them immediately with an American made anti-tank missile then opened fire on Hind's car. The car was hit with 355 bullets.
Israel then kept that area under lockdown for 12 days, & prevented anyone from approaching.
Hind's mom went daily to the Ahli baptist hospital hoping to find her daughter, until her lifeless body was brought in along with the charred remains of the ambulance men.
Israel then claimed after an "initial investigation" that its troops were NEVER in that area to begin with. They maintained that claim for 2 years despite ample recordings & satellite images debunking this lie.
The only reason Israel is now making this new announcement of a deeper investigation is to shield its soldiers & generals from the International Criminal Court by invoking the principle of "complementarity;" that the ICC cannot investigate a state that is already investigating itself in good faith.I told the BBC producer Israel today also quietly shut down the investigation into the triple tap killing of American, Canadian, British, Australian & Polish citizens in the WCK massacre. Israel blamed the massacre on the aid workers themselves for "deviating from the predesignated route" & for hiring an armed security guard "without informing the IDF" (both claims where debunked by WCK themselves, who had coordinates their every step with the IDF).
I told the producer the Israeli commander responsible for this massacre, Nochi Mendel, is a fanatical settler who had signed a petition calling for starving Gaza & that he was celebrated by settler leaders & supported by Israeli government leaders after what he did.
Mendel even received a box of chocolate from the settler council's leader & a letter of support for what he did.
Mendel was initially dismissed by the IDF & blamed for the massacre, but was quickly & quietly reinstated & promoted in the Defence Ministry as the head of the settlements and notionol infroctrunturo unitIt's abundantly clear Israel is NOT serious about prosecuting any of the atrocities committed in Gaza. Since the genocide began, only two soldiers were punished by the IDF; one for microwaving a living frog & another for cooking sausages in the army kitchen on Shabbat.
The producer asked me: What about the 150 cases the IDF said are pending review?
I answered: it's just a number designed to give the appearance of seriousness, but it's essentially meaningless.
If it took the IDF two whole years to admit the simplest of facts that the entire world had already known, which is that their troops were the ones who fired on Hind Rajab's car, how do you expect them to do with the remaining cases that are not as high profile?
Five minutes after the call, the producer wrote me that they decided to cancel the interview & will not even host anyone else to comment on the issue, & instead they'll play archival footage!
