Yeah. Like, I don’t want to live in Cuba exactly but I do admire a society that keeps 60 year old cars on the road and also has a lung cancer vaccine

Famously, the washing machine didn’t actually save housewives any time. It just made it possible for ad men to design new things for housewives to worry about cleaning every day

The battle of Tsushima gets just enough attention in AP World that I hear about it every year in my sophomore English classes

I actually think they should translate it from early modern to old English. Beowulfing Shakespeare would rock

Nothing was beautiful and everything hurt
Nothing was beautiful and everything hurt 
Joyce Carol Oates was tearing into Elon Musk and we were all having a good laugh about that. Get his ass etc. The basic gist of it was something I've often said about politics-poisoned posting-addicts. People who have never not even once shared their enthusiasm for a band or a book they like or literally anything they might like at all if such a thing exists. The lamentations of their enemies does not count. 

There are so many people like that. Even people on your side.

Can you imagine – I don't know whatever asshole you're thinking of right now – posting a picture of the ocean or a beautiful landscape that they took? A big game hunting safari also does not count. Or about a movie that they enjoyed? In aesthetic terms I mean not as part of the culture war. 

One of the great pleasures in life is sharing something beautiful with others.
Sharing art isn't quite the same as creating it in the first place but it's akin to it in that you are making it exist for others who might not have known of it otherwise. You are also at the same time making yourself known. It's an act of kindness and generosity and vulnerability. Please look at a photograph of this rushing mountain stream I stumbled across on my hike. You can’t tell at first but if you look really closely I'm in there and so are you.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

I recognize the pain of thinking if I could only talk to them one more time.
A chat request from a late friend
I recognize the pain of thinking if I could only talk to them one more time. It is among the more familiar human laments. But that's just the thing it is a human emotion not a technological problem. Our capacity for loss – in fact the necessity of losing and having lost – is what makes us who we are. There is no workaround. There will be no workaround. And every attempted step toward preventing that or perverting that is an affront to our humanity. Why not just taxidermy nana and prop her up at the Texas Chainsaw Massacre dinner table? At least there's something real and tangible about that. An undeniable sacrilege. You should have to smell the dead when you disinter them.

Teaching students to use AI is like teaching chefs to use DoorDash.

Jonesy @therealbk.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I’m an AFT member and frankly your leadership in the area of tech and AI sucks shit. You sound like an out of touch principal. Older students also need to be taught to think, and teaching them to use AI tools is the opposite of teaching them to use their brains.

I don’t think I bear a personal stain or any original sin BUT I do think it’s worthwhile to remember and teach my children that part of our privilege comes from having at least one ancestor who had the economic opportunity to own other human beings
