I’m an enthusiastic user of SuppCo, because I do take supplements and the industry is such an unregulated, even dangerous space. This is a badly, badly needed service. supp.co/articles/sup...

From 404 Media:

“Google Has Chosen a Side in Trump’s Mass Deportation Effort”

www.404media.co/google-has-c...
Google removed certain apps used to report sightings of ICE officials, and “then they immediately turned around and approved an app that helps the government unconstitutionally target an *actual* vulnerable group. That's inexcusable,” Mark, the creator of Eyes Up, an app that aims to preserve and map evidence of ICE abuses, said. 404 Media only used the creator’s first name to protect them from retaliation. Their app is currently available on the Google Play Store, but Apple removed it from the App Store. “Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now,” Mark added.

Even as Trump tries to explain how good AI is going to be for America, various big business leaders are explaining to their investors how AI is going to allow them to get rid of workers and raise returns on capital. The inconsistencies at the heart of these stories are obvious, and apparent to everyone.

A fairly accurate assessment by ChatGPT following an extended back-and-forth on the topic of Computational Naturalism versus Narrative Constructivism.

How dangerous is it to post this publicly?

To stay on X is to tolerate and normalize Nazis.

How did we get to a point that we could rationalize tolerance and normalization of FUCKING NAZIS??

For what?? What does X offer anyone that makes this calculus work? What does that say about those who stay?

If you agree, please steal and repost.

Yeah… I’m kind of on a topic today

When AI prophecy fails. Amazon made $35 billion in profit last year, so they're celebrating by laying off 14,000 workers (a number they say will rise to 30,000). This is the kind of thing that Wall Street loves, and this layoff comes after a string of pronouncements from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy about how AI is going to let them fire tons of workers. That's the AI story, after all. It's not about making workers more productive or creative. The only way to recoup the $700 billion in capital expenditure to date (to say nothing of AI companies' rather fanciful coming capex commitments) is by displacing workers – a lot of workers. Bain & Co say the sector needs to be grossing $2 trillion by 2030 in order to break even, which is more than the combined grosses of Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple Nvidia and Meta.

Slop is slop

Impressive slop is still slop
Slop that sells stuff is still slop
Slop that seems beautiful is still slop
Many think the word “slop” is overused
Many think slop itself is overused
Sorry you’re sick of words

Slop is slop

#SlopIsSlop
A collage of generated slop created to advertise Adobe Firefly Image Model 5, their latest generative model for making slop to ultimately eliminate human labor, further wreck the environment, and tank the world economy. This image is slop to create more slop, literally slop for slop’s sake.

I love this book

Excerpt From

Being gay, queer, or whatever you’d like to call yourself doesn’t have a uniform. There’s no such thing, I’ve found, as “dressing gayer” or “looking gayer.” You don’t have to dye your hair or paint your nails. It’s more important to interrogate the gaze with which you behold yourself. Whose gaze is it, and what is it looking for, Boring? What might it be like to have a lens that is more your own?”

https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/15/beauty- eh/#its-the-only-war-the-yankees-lost-except-for- vietnam-and-also-the-alamo-and-the-bay-of-ham These anti-jailbreaking laws were designed as a tool of economic extraction, a way to protect American tech companies' sky-high fees and rampant privacy invasions by making it illegal, everywhere, for anyone to alter how these devices work without the manufacturer's permission. But today, these laws have created clusters of deep-seated infrastructural vulnerabilities that reach into all our digital devices and services, including the digital devices that harvest our crops, supply oxygen to our lungs, or tell us when Trump's masked shock-troops are hunting people in our vicinity. It's well past time for a post-American internet. Every device and every service should be designed so that the people who use them have the final say over how they work. Manufacturers' back doors and digital locks that prevent us from updating our devices with software of our choosing were never a good idea. Today, they're a catastrophe.

Due to my problematically high trait conscientiousness (Google "Big Five personality traits"), I have a challenge with public restrooms, which I committed years ago to always leaving in better shape than I find them. I never fail to do SOMETHING to improve their condition.

I met my match last week.
A maddeningly perfect public restroom I couldn't find any way to improve for the next visitor.
