As a just in case… My best friend got me hooked to the BBC Witch podcast which was eye opening — I did not know about the connection between the witch hunts and abortion providers! www.bbc.com/audio/brand/...

In case you’re wondering, yes. It’s given me a lot of joy to throw myself into this kind of community building and re-determination of identity in these times...

I guess this a long way of saying that this is why I’m naturally resistant to the promise of AI. I know it might seem convenient to the users, it will certainly benefit the employers, but at what cost (besides the intellectual, social, environmental and climate costs) that we don’t see yet?!

Do you know how that era ended? Senior management handed out blackberries to us and told us it was because we were very important people to the org. We all side-eyed to see who got them in the early days. It absolutely did help the mission and the work. We also never really had off hours after that.

It's undeniable that ICE is worse under the second Trump term than it was under Biden or Trump 1 or Obama or Bush but that ICE would be used in this way for these ends is as foreseeable a disaster as leaving a loaded gun on a table next to a case of whiteclaw. It's as much a failure of prevention.
