A friend recently said “the possible existence of a future gap in our accelerating path towards totalitarianism is the last home of my optimism”. That about sums it up.

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

Shermer is well known in the Sceptic community and is the reason I won’t attend any CSICON events ever again. He’s an anti science misogynist creep. OSU should be ashamed for creating the Salmon P. Chase Center let alone inviting him and Ross Douthat to speak.

ICE is bad. Deportation is bad. Immigration restriction is almost always bad. Armed masked men going into homes without warrants is so obviously villainous that the fact anyone approves it is a stain that will haunt even generous histories of our nation ever after. I am anti-ICE.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

So the “closed” daycares…were closed during the last week of the year, during which most daycares are closed. And the doors were “locked,” which they are at every daycare. And they wouldn’t let in a “journalist” with a camera…which they wouldn’t do at any daycare. Got it.

Instead, I found it a great starting point for them & me, plus *rigorously* corrected. Now it’s one of few places not skewed by misinformation. Low as $2.75 a month. Give!
