So I was invited to accept an award for "imagination in service to society." This forced me to think a bit about what "imagination," "service" and "society" mean to me.

Over the last 10 months, the federal government has cracked down on political expression with a persistence and viciousness reminiscent of some of the darkest periods of U.S. history. Welcome to the Third Red Scare.

This is horrendous. She has likely cost many people their physical and mental health, and probably their lives, and she is not ashamed or remorseful whatever that she did it for nebulous credibility with the worst people on Earth.

What sucks about dragging Imane Khelif into the transgender sports thing again and again is she so dearly and articulately wants girls (especially Muslim girls) to feel strong and like they, too, can box. And we keep making her thing about our own anxieties and fears.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

“The boat was suspected of carrying Colombians affiliated w/Colombian terrorist organizations, the sources said, but the Pentagon was unable to determine the individual identities of each person on the boats before they struck them.”
They don’t even know their names, but insist they are terrorists!

Breaking: At least one US military strike in the Caribbean targeted Colombians on a boat leaving from Colombia, sources tell us.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

This is what I and others have advocated for for a long time - using the tools we have to resist, namely Federal tax revenue.
The American cities Trump has vowed to invade one by one produce 90% of this country's GDP. We must withhold these funds, and our infrastructure, from the United States Government, until these invasions stop
