"We, as a species, simply were not ready for the internet. We, as a species, were not ready to spend our waking hours inundated with the interior monologues of billions of other beings piped directly into our brains as though they were our own."

This is pretty much how I feel online nowadays.

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

I cannot stress enough just how much wide LLM adoption is harming the human capacity to *try*. To just do things on your own, to think critically about a topic or a problem, to read and synthesize ideas. These are such important skills and we’re just giving them up.

la pierre d'achoppement du fascisme, le trait de personnalité qui permet à quelqu'un de tomber dedans, c'est le mépris de la faiblesse. Voir la vulnérabilité comme une occasion de profiter de l'autre pour son intérêt ou son amusement. Refusez ça systématiquement, et vous vous vaccinerez.

Le fascisme ce n’est pas que l’ED. Le fascisme s’installe à l’aune d’un climat politique qui laisse prospérer la mesquinerie et la médiocrité. C’est en ce sens que la culture de l’humiliation publique, qui fait de la raillerie et de la cruauté des signes de ralliement, est pleinement fasciste.

I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it. But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

Queen Sigourney Weaver: "As someone who’s about to turn 76, I can’t afford to do nothing, you know? I do try to do something for an hour every day. I’ve always been like that, but now I have this extra motivation, because I don’t want to be an old crone by the time I get to [Avatar] four and five."

New version of Girl Yelling In Guy's Ear at Concert Dropped:
A pair of leopards on a rock, with trees in the background. The leopard on the left has a paw draped over the leopard on the right's shoulder, and has its mouth open, as if yelling in the one on the right's ear. The one on the right looks skeptical, and mildly annoyed. A finalist in the 2025 Comedy Wildlife image contest, by Hikkaduwa Liyamage Prasamtja Vinod named “Bad Mouthing”

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.
The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being.
