Fucking rad.

“Land is Never a Gateway” by Nicholas Galanin, a Counterpublic installation at the St. Louis riverfront. Picture is of a forced perspective art installation that makes it appear that the St. Louis Arch is a Native American-style drying rack for a tawed animal hide.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

I taught in Seoul for a couple years after college. One of my former middle school students just found me and sent a message. They are now 30 and married to an Italian. Life is wild

Incredible stuff from Cards Against Humanity, who is now building a monument to interfere with SpaceX.

Why do you keep calling Elon Musk “a sad little bitch with no friends”?

Great question! (1) He is sad, (2) he is a bitch, and (3) he has no friends.

Did Elon Musk spend his 47th birthday alone, with no friends?

Yes.

Did Elon Musk beg Jeffrey Epstein for an invitation to his island, but get rejected?

Yes.

You’re saying that even the world’s most infamous pedophile didn’t want to be Elon Musk’s friend?

Yes.

1. Flock tracks and stores every passing vehicle, not just crime suspects. 2. Flock makes huge profits for itself and its investors by trading away our privacy. 3. Flock's tech is ripe for abuse — police officers have already been fired for using it to stalk women. Should we keep going?

Why Are So Many People Upset About Flock Cameras?

Flock Safety’s automated license plate-reading cameras, used by thousands of law enforcement agencies in the U.S., have drawn intense criticism from civil liberties groups.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.

A graph showing how the edsel and Cybertruck both performed based on their sales target and actual year one and year two sales. The edsel was expected to sell 200k units in its first year. It sold slightly over 50k, and less than 50k the next year

The Cybertruck had a sales.target of 250k in its first year. They sold around 40k, the next year they sold about half as many.

Highly recommend this interview with one of the great authors of our time. We can learn from other countries that have recently fallen into fascism and draw inspiration from effective resistance movements.

House Democrats will hold a hearing in Houston on Friday to look into the ICE killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. “My belief is that there is an attempt to cover up currently taking place, and that attempt to cover up is something that ICE has perpetrated in other cases,” says @algreen.house.gov.

Didn’t get too into this one when it came out, but I’ve been listening to it on repeat for the last few days. Ambient, minimalist, jazzy, acoustic guitar one-of-a-kind album. Jeff Parker is a real gem

Scores came out—my AP World History students did wonderfully on their exams. The best scores of any year I've taught. A little bittersweet because I won't be teaching the class next year, but a personally meaningful final punctuation for the school year before my sojourn. Very proud of these kids!
