AI is the ideal technology to accompany the decline of America.
It caters to the entitled, to those who have no desire to learn and think they know everything, it destroys creativity and critical thinking, and lays the cultural foundation for fascism.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas was published 201 years ago and was a key text in the invention of Christmas as an American tradition. Puritans had outlawed the holiday, and in early 19th century NYC it was associated with working class drunken disorder and (sometimes) anti-elite violence.

Reading the transcript of a Radio Atlantic piece about how kids don't read books in high school. One line jumped out at me: "You can imagine if a high-school kid were to say, I actually don’t want an internship this summer. I don’t want to work. I'd like to spend my summer reading novels.

For enslaved people, the holiday season was a time for revelry – and a brief window to fight back
Whether it was spent feasting or plotting escapes, the week between Christmas and the new year offered a rare opportunity for enslaved men, women and children to reclaim their humanity.

My theory about the “drones” all over NJ’s night skies is that a group of people are playing around with special effects and then filming our reactions for a documentary 🤔🤷🏼♂️

The Assad regime is surely in its final hours.
This video is in Jaramana, a suburb of the capital Damascus. People tear down the statue of Assad’s predecessor & father, Hafez.
This is happening only a few kilometres from Assad’s Presidential palace. #Syria

This is an excellent article that explains a lot about the current state of whatever version of capitalism we’re running now.
1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
