On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future.

I hope you will too.

It’s been two months since I wrote about AI which, as someone who detests having to write about AI, feels like not much time at all.

On fake books, cash traps and magic beans, and why I continue to hate every vapid tentacle AI thrusts in our direction.

Séamas O'Reilly: We have elevated AI that almost never works as well as what it replaces
I could write an article just like this one every single day, each filled with brand-new examples of AI’s constant enshittification of the media we consume

I saw Rick Steves on the bullhorn leading a pretty large group of protesters in a small city outside of Seattle that consists mostly of rich people and retirees. Definitely not a place you usually see a protest!

Part 1 of my Catholic Hymn Tier List is up! I made mid and high tier available to paid subscribers as a treat for sticking with me through my Mexico hiatus, but the honorable mentions and low tiers are readable by all. Let us pray.

Well we learned something from this, our 572nd rocket explosion, said SpaceX spokesperson Farty McCrablice, it's when you have a floundering company run by a drugged-out shithead with virtually no oversight, things tend to explode.

They’re going to demolish the country and then they’re going to say that Biden did it and all of these Nazi maga dipshits who only want genocide and slavery to come back are going to pretend they believe it because that’s easier than facing the horrifyingly failed reality of themselves.

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

damn with losing all of these digital information spaces, I wonder if there’s some kind of regularly—daily??—printed purveyor of facts and upcoming events staffed by professionals one could subscribe to and have delivered to your home?

Any post or bio that contains the phrase “I’m an ally” as opposed to just not being a horrible person is generally a real tell about someone
in my experience the genuine male feminists are just like, nice to women and treat them normally and don’t start podcasts or seek awards for it. performative behavior should always be a red flag.
Neil Gaiman, Justin Baldoni, and the End of the Male Feminist
This ignominious crew of famous men seemed to align with women against sexist oppression in public as they mistreated women in private.
