If you have time for a long read this weekend, make it this excellent article. It considers the nature of the internet, i.e. dominance of white, Western commercial content, which underpins GenAI output production & the impact of excluding local & Indigenous language & knowledge from this.

This is obviously extremely anecdotal and in no way data-driven, but my observation of teaching HS and parenting a 10-year old is, my recent grads love AI, my students use it but don't trust it, and my kid thinks it's cringe trash.

Texas getting its gerrymander blocked while California and Virginia eliminate 8-9 Republican seats would be a stupendous, comical outcome.
"But when the Trump Administration reframed its request as a demand to redistrict congressional seats based on their racial makeup, Texas lawmakers immediately jumped on board."

lot of people on this app seem really committed to the notion that nothing damaging will come out of the Epstein files.

I was at my aunt's funeral today ( husband's side, his mom's sister) when I found out my uncle ( my mom's brother and eldest of her siblings) died early this morning. That will make 4 family funerals in 2025 ( so far). Will be ready to turn the corner on this year.
