Remember, they prosecuted Aaron Swartz and drove him to suicide for hacking one system with the goal of making academic articles freely available to the public. Sam Altman hacked 1000s of sites with the goal of being a trillionaire.

Look at this photograph.

Southpaw adds: Melania and Trump each look into the camera lens; Trump is intensely bug eyed and stiff while Melania looks desolated and betrayed. Xi watches them impassively.

William discovers self-difference. #caturday #cats #catsky

Photo of a black, cream, and brown tabby standing on his back feet to look into a mirror. Behind him is a tall antique dresser. In the foreground is the corner of a bed -- from which the photo was taken.

Tabby now looking at himself in the mirror.

Tabby using the mirror to look directly into the camera.

Close up on the tabby looking into the camera through the mirror. He looks taken aback.

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!

Poll watching right now is like, "Normal candidate with normal opinions ekes out small lead against sweaty bag of farts who sends dick picks to orphans and once dropkicked a puppy with leukemia."

William and I are writing at home today.

Tabby looking up at the camera from the lap of someone sitting at a desk. The lap is clad in bright green patterned cloth. His eyes are green. His expression soulful.

Same tabby in same lap, now reaching a stripy arm to grab a pen that the lap-person is writing with.

Same tabby, lap, and pen. Now he has pulled his whole body up and will soon bite the pen.

Stephen Miller deserves to spend the rest of his natural life fighting a legal system charging him of crimes he didn't commit in a language he does not speak, alone, and without counsel: publicnotice.co/p/stephen-miller…

Stephen Miller's secret campaign against helpless kids

That it's happening in the shadows doesn't make it less of a moral blight.

current discourse feels like

2 panel comic

Panel 1:
Yellow Guy is handing bananas to a small child. He says “just feeding some hungry kids”
Red Guy is pinching the bridge of his nose and says “oh my god you stupid son of a bitch”

Panel 2:
Red Guy grips Yellow Guy by the lapels and says “You’re gonna burn down society you stupid fucking son of a bitch”

It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I think assigning students challenging stuff--at any level--is a way of expressing respect for them and for their potential, and I don't think such expression of respect depends on their recognizing it as such in the moment. Also we are custodians of what we cherish.

I really think no one has any idea how to be a man or a woman. Gender is where everything fails, and if we are lucky we might enjoy it sometimes but that’s often not in the cards.

We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

What happened at the Supreme Court is about anti-Blackness and curtailing Black political power. Trump as a corrective to Obama. Anti CRT/ DEI as a corrective to Black Lives Matter and Black progress in education and the workforce. Anti-Blackness is America’s favorite manner of self-harm.
