I am becoming incredibly exhausted of this pattern: many people: "AI sucks!" Very Smart Person: ah but have you considered (distinct application of ML or statistical modeling that has no real relationship to what the tech industry is marketing as, and people broadly perceive as, "AI")

have been thinking a lot again about how the transphobic narrative divides trans people into women (deceived, masc) and women (deceptive, fem) and how this maps onto the two basic arms of social control, paternalism and outright repression (both can be violent)

anyway i think the best we can probably do as trans people is support each other and particularly support trans women. i think in the end the cat is out of the bag and now that so many people know transition is an option, transness is here to stay.

Gwen did a fantastic job reporting on what has genuinely become an internal refugee crisis among trans people. I know I complain about Sound Transit and bike infrastructure or whatever a lot but like, making my move to Seattle when I did saved my life.

Amy Finn, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, told me that "part of the magic of how kids learn is that they have less knowledge of what they're going to experience and fewer expectations about what's going to be relevant. They don't have that adult filter of strategically extracting things from their experience, and so they retain a lot of unexpected details that adults would find irrelevant. That allows them to be creative in ways that adults are not creative.
" The child
brain's tendency toward delightful non sequitur and unpredictable meanderings is not aligned with an L.L.M.'s orientation toward speed and sleekness and summary, toward frictionless, rational outcomes. (An obsession with
outcomes-over-process is also a hallmark of the universally loathed style of instruction known as "teaching to the test," which began taking hold in American classrooms in the early two-thousands, after the No Child Left Behind Act tied federal funding to standardized assessments.)

Once again, one of the biggest reasons I am partial to the anti-warehouse build out is simply because having any familiarity with how these are being pushed quickly reveals that they are wildly anti-democratic and corrupt in a way that exceeds routinely anti-democratic and corrupt municipal politics

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.

the nascent internet's most exciting thing was the possibility of a single repository of total human knowledge, for me to look up whenever I want. AI is an abomination because it will show you something you've never seen before, and you think you know more about the world, but you only know a lie

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them. Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems

i can only repeat this so many times but similar to abortion the government cannot end gender transition medicine (for youth or otherwise), it can only increase the danger and precarity of the lives of those who access it. essentially no mainstream media recognizes this correct framing

Jonathan Joss' husband Tristan has released another statement saying that donations to their old home GoFundMe are not needed at this time and would ask for everyone to direct their energy towards spreading the message about how he was in fact murdered in a hate crime
While I deeply appreciate the support from everyone I wanted to let you know that I have had a couple offers regarding covering expenses for a celebration of life. I have absolutely no plans yet on that but I will try to keep everyone updated. There’s not a need to donate to the gofundme. But I want everyone to remember the joy and love Jonathan has brought and will continue to bring forever. I have my essentials covered and our family in San Antonio is taking care of me until I get back to South Carolina. Instead of donating Jonathan and I would both rather you spread the word about the consistent injustice done to him, to us, and to our dogs. We had so many beautiful plans for the future.
