I’m betting the venn diagram of people warning you about fascism while cashing substack checks and people telling you that Gavin Newsom is our best bet in 2028 is very close to a perfect circle. Very close.

Swedish schools said they didn’t need books. Pupils proved them wrong
Screen-based learning led to falling literacy rates, so the authorities are spending millions changing course. The children are delighted

They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.
Posting about ICE on Instagram is now enough to get you an “administrative subpoena.” 👀

If you use generative AI, we simply cannot be friends. I’m sorry, but it is a horrid, thieving thing that floods the channels and pushes real effort to sideline, steals from artists and authors to make crap, and eats through resources at the same time: burning a rainforest to make a cheap match.

Still thinking about this quote.
"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

Most optimistic I feel about anything is when I recall that it was way harder to get to where US is now from where it started than it will be to get to where we need to go from where we currently are.
It’s largely a matter of decolonizing our minds now. That’s why they wanna control what we see.

American culture from 1776 on was Black, was Indigenous, was Spanish, was Jewish, was Quaker, was a whole lot of different things which then often got together and made splendidly non-European things, and most of our music has an African mother.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

I am, by all accounts, a coward, an overthinker, and a waffler, and I don’t think I’ve ever had greater moral clarity about anything ever in my life. ICE is so absolutely morally repugnant that there is no way to live wirh yourself if you do nothing.
straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

There is a reason the biggest weapon is keeping people ignorant. Keep your kids completely walled off so they never even think of anyone else. Empathy, once it happens, is a powerful thing. Evil does not want it taking root within their own.
