In theory I love my dog wanting to be in my lap while I work In practice my legs are not strong enough to clench together into a supportive platform for her to lay on while also doing what I’m supposed to be doing

If you, like me, find the idea of MLB hosting a ballgame in a new ballpark within a national park to be disgusting and offensive, you can email them at MLBExecutiveRelationsCS@mlb.com

Don’t believe people who tell you ai can be liberatory or any other misappropriation of movement talk or justice frameworks. Find some people who are preparing to rebuild and cast your lot with them. Then read a bit more. Just keep your wits about you because they are trying to run game.

Wtaf is this question my university just asked me about my project?
Does the project involve any work that could be interpreted as promoting DEIA, climate change research, or non-compliant to any Presidential Executive Orders?

Seattle just became the first city to pass a ban on surveillance pricing by grocery stores. The City Council passed a proposal stopping large grocery stores and online grocery retailers from using race, gender, browsing history, employment, or AI software to change prices from consumer to consumer.

I have to keep saying this. Talking about trans rights in a solely strategic and instrumental sense, as in what a politician’s stance will get them electorally or in governance, makes you sound like an asshole—even if you’re arguing in favor. It’s Chuck Todd-style, morally disconnected bloviating.

Aaron: This is the first time in Mariners franchise history that the entire team cries itself to sleep every night. Angie: That’s so interesting, Aaron. I’m actually crying right now. Aaron: Let’s check down on the field. Brad, you also crying? Brad: Absolutely, Aaron.

I’m just reading about the LGBTQ arrests in Turkey, where it’s not even illegal to be gay. But leaders are using the same “protecting families” language that we are all so familiar with.

Thrilled to finally share this work & have my recent pub highlighted! I had the pleasure of analyzing teens' very amusing conversations in order to write this. I hope my article adds some nuance to hot conversations about why children are struggling to learn and engage deeply on school-issued tech.

The nerve of these AI devs freaking out about “alignment” (denoting “alignment” of AI with “human values”) Which human values? The ones that led you to steal all the writing and art? The ones that led you to destroy all the out of print books? The *humans* are not aligned with my human values.
