Jersey. Regrettably a lawyer. Angry all the time. Trans rights/equality/safety are non-negotiable issues full stop. Stand by them or lose democracy.

I for one would love to call their bluff here. So you have created life and you keep it confined, serving your every whim? Do you pay it a wage? What rights does it have? Do you treat it well? I'm calling DYFS.

There is such pent up desire to see the bloated egos of the tech elite pop and fizzle into nothingness I feel like we are all being edged.

With alt text. I know someone who actually did this

On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

No joke, Moral OCD was ruining my life and making me unbearably despondent, but I've been able to get through it by "Larry Daviding," where any time I do something less than noble, I play the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme in my head and accept the comedy of my pettiness.

So many excellent arguments. A favorite: "The implications of these realities beckon us not to picture our own thoughts in the mind of a mushroom, but to open our imagination to how other species might perceive the world in ways we cannot conceive."

Happy to see the current news about creepy tech world sex cults has confirmed my own sincerely held religious belief that Harry Potter is aesthetically barren. If art expands your mind to be receptive to even more art and allows your inner self to flourish, Harry Potter is the opposite of that.

I notice people are tempted to engage with her because she is the part of the story that is salacious. But she's far less important than the fact that the billionaire backed sex cult lobbies politicians to deregulate the tech industry with boogeyman stories about AI. Focus, people.

It's a good article but the author should consider this line "Whatever Usha Vance is getting out of this charade remains a mystery, but she still seems to be game to sell out the dignity of herself and her children to protect her husband’s political career." And understand that Usha is in too deep.

This is incredibly common right now. "More" is the first sign we teach, followed by "all done" so they can communicate when they want more food or feel full. But they don't understand those concepts. So the signs attach to the concepts they know "want" and "stop this"l

I agree that there is no utility in revising the facts here but I disagree with the claim that ensuring truth & integrity in academia is an effective means of fighting nazi propaganda. Nazis do not rely on truth. For instance immigrant violence can be zero but they'll fabricate it from whole cloth.

I think there's actually a useful difference we can draw here. Namely: there is incrementalism that comes from pushing wherever possible (and with whatever levels possible) to make progress toward a maximalist demand, versus incrementalism that's positioned as an excuse for setting minor goals

I love this poem
Ode To The Maggot
By Yusef Komunyakaa


Brother of the blowfly
And godhead, you work magic
Over battlefields,
In slabs of bad pork

And flophouses. Yes, you
Go to the root of all things.
You are sound & mathematical.
Jesus, Christ, you're merciless

With the truth. Ontological & lustrous,
You cast spells on beggars & kings
Behind the stone door of Caesar's tomb
Or split trench in a field of ragweed.

No decree or creed can outlaw you
As you take every living thing apart. Little
Master of earth, no one gets to heaven
Without going through you first.

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.
