so relieved to finally stop posting on Twitter completely, I just didn’t post our black friday sale on Twitter this year and I was a little worried but it went totally fine.

I feel like there could still be an useful application for neutrino based communication. Like, trigger something on the other side of the earth 50ms faster than you could otherwise.

The handwringing, the introspections, and the blame game for Kamala’s loss, I find all this very boring. It’s too early to worry about 2028. Trump is the real danger now, and the focus should be on how to get through his term with the least damage.

Wife calls it a “potta movie” (bad movie), but it has the two Ms in it, and the title character is the train I took dozen of times to go to college, so what’s not to like?

The actual harm that AI is currently doing is filling the internet with slop. Regulators should be looking at how to curb that before worrying about hypothetical future “singularity”.

Hmm…. I guess I should give bsky another chance and start posting here.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Again: mob violence is the intended outcome of the “use your birth gender bathroom” laws. The intent is to provoke violence against trans people and drive them from public life.

I want to copy out (i.e. “scrape”) my bookmarks from twitter. Got any handy tools or chrome extensions you want to recommend.

Hopefully something that could even work would the “rate limits”.

I have a piece in The NYT this morning. When a Minneapolis suburb hired a Black chief and assistant chief, over half the department quit. Yet the world didn’t end.

When cops would rather quit than respect the wishes of the communities they serve, maybe it’s okay to let them go.

Ben and Jerry's end paid advertising on Twitter.
"The platform has become a threatening and even dangerous space for people from so many backgrounds [...] This is unconscionable in addition to being plain bad business."

Ben & Jerry’s Ends Paid Advertising on Twitter Due To Proliferation of Hate Speech
We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Therefore, Ben & Jerry's ice cream will no longer be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory after the end of next year.

Our client is being shamed and humiliated for explicitly discriminatory reasons, and her family is being denied a once-in-a-lifetime milestone in their daughter's life. Very disappointing outcome.
BREAKING: A Mississippi school district can forbid a 17-year-old transgender girl from attending her graduation unless she wears male-designated attire instead of a dress under her robe, a Trump-appointed federal judge ruled tonight.

Her graduation is at 6 p.m. Saturday.
School Can Force Trans Girl to Dress As Boy At Graduation, Judge Rules

Because there is no efficient way to filter marketing vs utility push notifications on iPhone, I’ve disabled push for pretty much every app.

I now regularly miss eg when my Uber order arrives: so they call me. I take this over the marketing push spam Uber and other apps became.

Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton resigned Monday after an investigation determined he had a sexual relationship with a 19-year-old on his staff.

He provided her with lots of alcohol before the encounter.

Slaton spent the session cracking down on drag shows, calling drag performers "groomers"
