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

I could go back to driving the ‘66 Ford Fairlane inherited from my grandfather who won it in a safety slogan contest.

A man and woman stand in front of a white sedan car which is parked in front of a billboard with the slogan “Fasten Your Seatbelt Heaven Can Wait”.

Probably no one cares but one of my grandfathers was a Dermatologist and the other was a Safety Engineer who won a new car in 1966 by writing this slogan. “Fasten Your Seatbelt, Heaven Can Wait”

Having taken a completely different trail down the mountain. This was before cell phones. He was pissy with me the whole rest of the trip for sending help after him because “nothing could have possibly gone wrong”. I was just being “hysterical”.

One time I came down from a hike to the top of a mountain to find he was not at the bottom waiting for me. Scared me to death because I had not crossed paths with him anywhere. I alerted the park rangers who started to go up the trail looking for him. He eventually showed up.

This was on trails in the Adirondacks in the US. He was always laughing off my concerns like nothing could possibly happen.

I dated a guy who would regularly leave me behind on hikes because he was a much faster climber. I was always walking alone. I think back on how fucked up that truly was.

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.
