Some people put together this analysis of my work and Gil Duran's work, with time stamps, themes, history and comparisons. You can see for yourself. helpshanley.substack.com/p/did-gil-du...

Did Gil Duran Plagiarize Shanley Kane?

Shanley wrote about tech fascism years before Gil Duran, but he never credited her.

I don't know what is going on with autocorrect, but it's very clear to me while doing a not-quite-final read through that the "correcting what you're typing while you're typing it" is introducing more errors, and more obviously wrong ones, than it ever catches.

Sorry chatbot lovers but the waning of Boolean operators in most search functions on websites has made my life actively worse. You can't find anything, you can only have things suggested to you.

It’s very simple: we can either have a society where anti-vaxxers feel heard and understood and not discriminated against, or we can have a society that actually functions. We can’t have both.

🚨 The archived version of the suppressed Amnesty report into the anti-trans network operating to dismantle human rights in the UK has been "excluded" from the Wayback Machine. JKR is working very hard to scrub its existence from the eyes of the public. Thankfully, I kept screenshots.

A screenshot of the Wayback Machine page when trying to access the suppressed Amnesty report into anti-trans organisation and networks in the UK saying "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine".

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

I've always had good password security. In college I had my debit card number memorized for making 2002-era online purchases. I have used a very secure password manager for over a decade. My reward? A life of retrieving six-digit codes from my email and phone. Every day I suffer

my brother & his partner are telling me an insane story about this local deity called "st. rat" which is apparently a mosaic relief put up by some queers in seattle. the city kept trying to paint over it, but people would repeatedly just use acetone and remove the paint until the city gave up

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

Really enjoying the new Boards of Canada album, as haunting as ever but much more digestible, as much as I like their older stuff it would often put me into a place of uneasiness which is typically the opposite of what I go to music for. This one feels more inspiring if that makes any sense.

I don't play many games these days or watch much twitch, but I tuned in to Peeve playing some game called Stranger of Paradise, this boss fight against Chaos Advent is a direct rip-off of King Allant from Demons Souls. Searched online, and mentioned in chat, but no one has noticed, it's so obvious.

I am so sick of websites offering to text me a code OR use my password to sign-in, I choose password because my phone isn't near me but after I enter it, it wants me to verify with a text to my phone?!? what the fuck is the point of giving me this option then?

Let's crush this grotesque flirtation before it gains anymore steam. There is no common ground with Tucker Carlson. There is no common ground with those who claim common ground with Tucker Carlson. There are no "good" fascists vs. "bad" fascists. Fascists=fascists.

I know this is impossible for us discuss in this current moment but... People want to do interesting, thoughtful, creative, day to day work. They want to care for each other, and feel like they are contributing to something bigger. It should be where we start when we think about our communities.

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12." Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
