Since age 9 I have repeatedly pledged my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living for my club, my community, my country, and my world.
Hard to spend a lifetime saying these words without absorbing them at least a little I hope.

I agree that we're likely setting ourselves up for a very long process of asbestos-like remediation efforts around "incredibly stupidly and carelessly implemented LLM tools that were rolled out after 2022"
I've noticed that people who use the inevitability argument always make comparisons to email and social media, never to NFTs or DDT.
I think the so-called "AI" stuff is going to be the tech version of asbestos: shoved in everywhere, expensive and time-consuming to remove.

I’d be fucking livid if my kids school fed their pictures to the child porn generator.
So a high school uploaded all their students photos to an "AI" program to then reproduce an "AI" yearbook (without any of their permission btw)
With the news we've been getting lately I would be making the BIGGEST fucking stink I possibly could if that happened to either me or my children

Man if I were in ICE, I have just no idea where I would even get the notion that I could tell a Church to alter a display, growing up here, in America, where from a very young age we learn to identify our country with freedom of speech and freedom of religion
ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.
“ICE Was Here”: Pope Leo-Inspired Nativity Scene Sparks MAGA Outrage
A Nativity scene missing Jesus — and marked with an “ICE was here” sign — has triggered cries of “politicizing Christmas.” The parish priest says he’s answering Pope Leo's call to welcome stranger.

I think the toxic current correlation between “studied STEM” and “techbro sociopathy” isn’t really about the subject matter itself but is about how our culture has spent 25 years constantly blowing smoke up the asses of guys who are even passably competent at Computer or Quant
there is not any particularly strong evidence that study of the humanities make people good people. the elites of many brutal empires were extremely well-read!

As the literacy rate declines, you’ll ask yourself why the quality of life continues to deteriorate in ways large and small, and in almost every instance the answer will be: because people stopped reading.

Thread, long but very worth it.
My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap

On this day in 1941 my great uncle hurt his knee quite badly while playing softball, an injury only notable because he was in the Navy and stationed in Pearl Harbor, HI. Months later he was startled to be awarded a purple heart for his injury received on December 7th.
