Until "so I asked chatgpt" is as thoroughly embarrassing to say as "so I fucked a sheep," this pipeline will continue to drag people fascist rabbit holes.

It doesn't originate with me, but it's never wrong to feed people. Unfortunately, it'll be really important for all of us to help feed people in the coming days and months. I know it's rough out there for most people, but if you've got a little cash to throw at a local food bank, do it.

Finally watched K-Pop Demon Hunter, and holy freakin' tiger, it rules!
As a related note: can anyone out there point me to some great books on Korean mythology? Not looking for a bullet-point website, but in-print folklore, history, mythology, etc.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

AI is like DDT: it may even have specific use cases (e.g. killing mosquitos to fight malaria), but it's so toxic to everything it has to be banned.

"Running over real people with various trolleys is the whole point of real-world trolley problems, too, which is is precisely why we have to reject them in the real world."
Also, trolleys were good public transport. No to trolley problems, yes to trolleys!

Today I wrote about a general tendency to accept atrocious premises, and the need to reject fascism's false choices in order to find expansive and imaginative paths forward.
Breaking the premise, embracing the obstacles, pursing everything.

We actually aren't constrained into atrocious premises by thought exercises. Obstacles are a reason to fight, not an excuse to quit. Our friends and neighbors aren't distractions..

My grandmama is 95. She's been many things: wife of a baptist preacher, baker extraordinaire, neighborhood mom-to-all, Sunday School teacher, pianist. For the first time in forever, she said nothing about Jesus still loving me when we spoke. But she did tell me 'the president will keep us safe.'

Imagine being the richest man in the world and having a drug problem and instead of, idk, pouring money into researching the best synthetic weed or safest synthetic opiate, you instead build a Hitler-machine that poisons black people in Memphis.
