A grin with *two* cats (Kadie the tabby and Venus Mindtrap the calico) beams upon all who would have it. I like simple pleasures: good food, travel, smashing the patriarchy, and sleep. Oh, and music, sometimes original. https://linktr.ee/cheshire_adams

Oh, hello, Bluesky. I haven't much been around here lately. Have I missed anything noteworthy?

Checking in over here — I only occasionally do so — and I am picking up something of an Animal Farm vibe.
There should be a "holding my nose because something stinks" emoji. 🤧 isn't the same.

Have we™ encountered any female ICE agents? I personally have not, in feed or life. So I ask, what and how have we been teaching our boys and men, that they would become these thugs that now mar our country? And how to change that teaching?

I have no time for people who can’t agree trans rights are human rights, immigrants are welcome, and Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank are abhorrent. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed.

Hence the intro in my other post, "while everything else is going down"; the account I quoted here is in Gaza. 😢
I can't much help myself right now, but who can help any of us? Who even sees this? 🎶 Is there anybody out there? 🎶

Something I didn't get to say yesterday:
We heard over and over during the event about "human-centered" approaches to "AI". But if refusal is not on the table (at every level: individual students and teachers right up through UNESCO) then we have in fact centered the technology, not the people.

It has been really interesting to attend UNESCO's Digital Learning Week (though unfortunately I'm not able to stick around). My public lecture from yesterday can be found here:

I am begging, literally on my knees, for people to stop doing this Michael Avenatti bullshit where anyone who trolls Trump gets turned into some kind of hero because it feels good and meanwhile the actual work of finding trustworthy leaders and coalition partners gets put on the back burner.

I find it very interesting that JB Pritzker (with whom I disagree on many things) actually did way more substantive stuff to combat Trump and still gets less credit than Newsom because Newsom posted some tweets

Guy who was an “AI” pioneer and made one of the first implementations of a neural network was also a Nazi and directly ordered war crimes in the Second World War and wrote many racist, misogynist and xenophobic articles for the rest of his life.
He won many awards.

Think maybe I haven't promoted this song enough. h/t @monaeltahawy.bsky.social for reminding me of it. It was originally inspired by the East Palestine OH incident, which the clueless governor exponentially exacerbated. I thought of acid rain and what its effect resembled:

Beg y'all's pardons in advance, but if you've dug any of my offerings, Kadie, Venus Mindtrap, and I could very much use some monetary support. It's my birthday today, wink wink. Top link in the tree in my bio. 😽💜
Granted, it's a simultaneous whistle and hum, but if I *can* self-promote on my birthday, I will. 😤
