I am from Texas so I know religious MAGA people and when meaningful topics come up I find myself so baffled at their worldviews. Wild things

The tech industry newsletters: “how to get people to use more data to see any ROI on a data center whatsoever” / “how to make people less AI-pessimistic”

Or maybe these things don’t actually generate revenue? 🤔

People in tech (e.g Andrew Ng) talk about “A.I.” in such a braindead way.

“We will fall behind if we don’t get average folks more eager to adopt”, “China sees advantages, why don’t we?” ask WHY? What benefits does the tech provide to everyday Americans? How is our society structured? Who benefits?

It’s a lot easier to be against things in politics than to be for things. And I respect when people are for things that use political power to make society better.

I would love it if @davidjroth.bsky.social was a permanent 3rd mic on @chapotraphouse.bsky.social … most recent episode was so funny/good. Helps to laugh thru the bullshit

But who the fuck is counting?
RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

Reading about this brought to mind a piece I wrote two years ago, inspired by one of my favourite authors.

Ursula K. Le Guin emphasized that there’s a big difference “between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art.” OpenAI’s AI-generated movie offers us nothing.

We truly live in a remarkably stupid time in the USA oh well 🇺🇸

I’ve been listening to @thedigradio.bsky.social episode on “Abundance” and its fallout, and while I’m no politico or anything, I can’t help but have some tangential thoughts about “what does government do in practice? What should government do?” basic things like that…

Drove past DC area on a road trip last winter and can attest, craziest traffic I saw across 12 states
According to Consumer Affairs, the DC area has dethroned Los Angeles for having the worst traffic in the nation. They say the DMV's average commute time is now 33.4 minutes vs. 30.5 in Los Angeles. In 2024 DC was number 2.

Science couldn’t solve the problem of “egg head”; couldn’t even find a single mention of “humpty dumpty” across all NSF funded research, so he felt it time for the private sector to take over.

Downside of not having my paternity leave available when baby was born: life is super hard when baby is born

Upside of pat leave I can use between August and baby’s 1 yr b day:
I think I’m gonna spend part of my leave in Spain just because!

Things are terrible in terms of the stupid bill, floods in Texas, ongoing murder of innocent humans in Gaza… the list goes on and on… but life with family is worth living… and to keep it wholesome, I send that love outward

More and more of us are saying Brad Lander should oust Chuck Schumer
Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"
