Chicago has a great music scene that doesn’t get enough love
I wrote about Options for the Reader
Chicago rock act Options makes subtle shifts to go into Beast Mode - Chicago Reader
Ever since local indie-rock project Options debuted with 2014’s What You Want, main man Seth Engel has continued to release short-and-sweet songs that are equal parts hooky and glum.

Really starting to think we need to ban AI
I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives:

Teachers Are Not OK
AI, ChatGPT, and LLMs "have absolutely blown up what I try to accomplish with my teaching."

just in general, the thing that is not being reported on - and which has major implications for politics and policy - is that every republican (and probably some democrats) who isn't 100% on board with trump is being blackmailed with actionable threats of lethal violence if they do not comply.

I delete my social media apps every weekend and it's amazing
log off. if you can swing it, try to designate a 24-hour period every week in which you just don't go on social media of any kind. if you can't, just put your phone in another room while you watch an episode of something once a week. just give yourself the gift of deliberately going Offline.
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

A little hope your your Tuesday
Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Didn’t think about this but it makes so much sense
Just a reminder that app stores are convenient chokepoints for authoritarianism. There are few tech policy fights more consequential for the future of human rights than the ability of people to control the software they run on devices they own
TikTok isn’t back in the App Store yet
You may have to wait to re-download the app.

Trump incited an attempted insurrection, which means he's legally not allowed to be president.
Remember when laws mattered?
And by the way, have you reported Musk's Nazi salutes yet?
If anyone else did them, they'd be front page news.

Can we do this please and also force them to fix the gerrymandering?
Can you imagine the uproar in Alabama if after next hurricane Dems were like, "We will give you money to rebuild but girls can't marry until they are 18 and they have to be at least your 2nd cousin away genetically". 😁
