Talked to my new neighbor about going in on a dumpster because she’s moving in & I’m moving out. It’s a good idea to split expenses & labor with the people around you. There’s no sense in trying to do everything yourself. Good fences make for good neighbors, but so does getting to know them.

Well, they haven’t since the last administration fired up the old weather machine last September before the election & aimed it at North Carolina & Florida. Don’t worry. Now there’s a new administration, so no more hurricanes. Sharpies have eliminated them.

If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s that these folks are lazy & don’t like to think. Yes, that’s two things. Who’s counting? 🙃

Just wanna make something clear to all the dumbasses out there: Sexual harassment is not a sex scandal. Sexual harassment is an abuse of power. If you cannot see the distinction, then you may want to take a look at your life and your relationships more closely

“an argument with a neighbor” what?? how is “Hey, maybe don’t burn down the house my dad built, kill my dog, taunt me with the skull of my dead dog, and murder me for being gay and Indigenous” in any way arguable?

If you commit Medicaid/Medicare fraud (even imaginary fraud), Republicans will try to punish you. Unless you do it on an HUGE scale, then they will reward you.

When somebody blames Satan for things they don't like happening to them, it's because they need someone else to blame it on. They can't or won't take responsibility for their actions and see how they fucked themselves.

If someone is telling you they will do good in the future while you observe them doing harm in the present, assume they’re lying. They may think they mean it, but their actions say otherwise.

"Great philosophers, then, need a combination of gifts that is rare. They must be lawyers as well as poets. They must have both the new vision that points the way we are to go and the logical doggedness that sorts out just what is, and what is not, involved in going there." -Mary Midgley, UDC

There's a fascinating tic in conservative psychology: an utter inability to admit that "shit happens". Every right-wing person I know has a bedrock belief that if something bad happens to you, you MUST have done SOMETHING to deserve it.

One important thing these testimonies reinforce is the huge gap between how AI could be used and how it is likely to be used. The idea that "embracing" AI would solve all problems is just silly. Choosing to teach with AI vs. dealing with how it is likely to be used are very different challenges.
