You can't simultaneously tell me that it's too hard to use a trans person's pronouns and then turn around and call an AI chatbot "she."

If you're giving less consideration to a human being than a fucking computer program, you're just an asshole.

it's a good time to take your time getting places. to let someone merge or butt infront of you. to look a little longer at the good stuff. and tell your people you adore them.

I’ve seen this dynamic with a few journalists. Some are fine w copy editing, researching, even art being automated, as long as their brilliant mind is allowed to be creative. It’s all of us or none of us, boo. You can’t just wait to fight this stuff until it comes for YOUR job.
the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough.

There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

A change for me that predates chatgpt is doing more mental math. For years I've been pausing before I reach for a calculator and pushing myself to do the work in my own brain. Not all math all the time, just more than I used to.
I became very conscientious about this during COVID. I do puzzles, read hard things or read and watch programming with different normative (or cultural) assumptions etc. I would like to keep what I can. Bananas to come out of the forced mediated world of COVID…and jump into AI.
Exactly, including for the long term for health benefits. Friend of mine did Parkinson’s research at Mayo for decades and he tells me all the time how important it is to stay mentally active to reduce the chances of a whole lot of cognitive decline.

"Why can't Kat talk to Tara if she's innocent?"

Let me tell you a brief true story.

A while back I represented an elderly woman who had been stopped by cops. The cops decided to search her car, and Old Lady consented. She accidentally stepped on a cop's foot getting out of the car.

Farmers wanted to use ICE threats as a way to further exploit their workforce, they didn’t think the deportations would actually happen.
Farmers when the guy who promised tariffs and immigration enforcement does what he said he would do!

The immigration piece is what kills me. "Mass Deportations" but only the bad ones in cities, not the ones I employ for poverty wages.

Slowly but surely the big institutions are catching up. C19 damage is making it into the medical mainstream. People have published it for a long time, now it’s turning up in teaching materials, public announcements.

It’s getting louder.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Do you live in an apartment complex? How about printing out some fliers letting your neighbors know that on a particular day of the week, u will be cooking X extra meals and that anyone who needs one can stop by your place at X hour to pick one up no questions asked? Can even leave them at the door.
