Please Read🧵 The world is facing massive, genuine structural crises, but social media algorithms are explicitly designed to warp those crises into a psychological trap of total hopelessness. We are seeing the real-world math of a broken system,

i included this in my syllabi this year

anti-AI “credo”

I have a religious exemption from using all generative “A.I.” I am not a member of the Silicon Valley sect. Their beliefs and practices are an affront to my sensibilities. The tech is trained on stolen intellectual property. The output is riddled with mistakes, and it is incapable of comprehending the weight of its errors. It is not even an “it.” But sometimes, it is filtered and massaged by unaccountable human sweatshop workers and bad actors. I am not required to use “A.I.” any more than I am required to join Amway, buy black market rhino horn, or attend the Fyre Festival. As a human, I have a duty and right to limit my carbon and water footprint and protect my fellow human. As a union worker, I have a duty and right to oppose tech that is used to threaten workers or cheapen our product. As a tech consumer, I have a duty and right to oppose scams that lower the quality of our tools. As a scholar, I have a duty and right to oppose anti-intellectualism. As a taxpayer, I have a duty and right to oppose the misallocation of public funds and data. As a grown up, I have a duty and right to protect young people from predators. As a person with a conscience, I am appalled at the decadent disregard for user safety, the callous dismissal of responsibility for lives ruined and slaughtered. My religion is related to my identity, geography, and family, making it an irrelevant accident of birth. What matters is that I was born. I have an exemption from their digital rapture, their cultural austerity, their intellectual poverty. I practice wholesome hedonism and First Do No Harm.

It can be a little tricky on occasion coming back up in tune, but it’s not too often. I may try a Mastery bridge. I do want to add locking tuners…actually to several of my guitars. I get good ones from Guitarfetish…

The CV Jag is one I've def been eyeing, I've liked them when I've played them. But I'm a sucker for quirky guitars...they seem to spark songs more often than my Strats etc.

I have the Classic Vibe 60's Jazzmaster which shares the rhythm circuit, body shape, and the unique vibrato tailpiece and bridge. They usually come strung with 9's which are IMHO way too light for the bridge, they pop out easily. I string my JM with 11's which works great. It's one of my go-tos...

They want us to stop using the words fascism and Nazism and racism because there is a reason those words exist and they are the reason

Accounts of Trump's concentration camp in El Salvador: “All of the ex-prisoners recalled days spent in a punishment cell known as 'the island,' a dark room with no water where they slept on the floor. The only light they could see came from a dim lightbulb in the ceiling that illuminated a cross”
