Thank you to everyone who came out and helped spread the word. Thousands of Minnesotans gathered tonight for a vigil honoring Renee Good, who was murdered by ICE agents. Let’s get ICE out of MN!

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

It’s my birthday today. If you’ve read my book or any of my writing online, I would love to know: which essay/piece is your favorite and why? Even though my book is considered a memoir, I still think of the chapters as individual entities, like children with their own unique quirks & personalities 😆

Last night I watched an excellent movie from Taiwan (Left-Handed Girl, available on Netflix) and it reminded me of something I’m learning as a beginning fiction writer: great storytelling always *raises the stakes*
'Left-Handed Girl' takes on quiet shame across generations in Taipei
Shih-Ching Tsou has collaborated with filmmaker Sean Baker for years. Tsou's solo directorial debut uses Taipei as its canvas to tell a story about women making ends meet in the city.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

My son was in preschool when Sandy Hook happened. It was the night of their holiday party and all the parents were trying to put on a cheerful face for our kids even though we were shellshocked. He’s a high school senior now, and 13 years later this country still values guns more than children 😭😭

"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."
What Are We Doing to Our Children?
We taught kids to read, write, and dream; then trained them to hide, barricade, and bleed quietly while adults chose guns, cowardice, and silence over their future.

DEI was supposed to create more equality and participation FOR PEOPLE but instead I feel like it’s metastasized into the belief that we have to provide equal airtime for abhorrent viewpoints and bad-faith, contrarian bullshit. People have lost the ability to dismiss certain ideas as just bad & wrong

This article is a disaster and the headline is misleading. Yes, AI should be used to solve our most pressing problems and to handle massive computational analysis. But the problem is not a shortage of ideas. LLMs don’t generate “new” ideas, they parse what has come before.
This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.
Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.

We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
