There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

My head canon here is that the Empire and Republic are constantly rising and collapsing into the other as they reach a state of crisis. Maybe two decades, maybe two millennia: neither can endure.

Regretfully i inform you that O’Keefe vociferously denied such interpretations her whole life and it seems the “they’re actually vaginas” discourse was invented by her gallerist/estranged husband to drum up sales

I do think it’s funny that if you were to watch Andor as a lead-in to the first Star Wars movie it would seem nuts when, after all the brave sacrifice of so many others, some random kid and his new friend are the only people we see get medals for taking down the empire.

Okay, here's the thing about AI and writing: when we learn to cook, we do so following recipes. We practice the steps of the recipe until we have internalized most of it. We might refer back to the recipe to make sure we're doing it correctly, but for the most part we rely on intuition, on habit.

People tend to focus on the environmental destruction wrought by llms, for obvious reasons. But that water and electricity isn’t free: someone had to pay for it. They’re trying to get us hooked before the bill comes due but frankly i doubt. Like college students are going to fund this??

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

Not enough people understand that being nice to unpleasant people is a huge flex. It’s metal. Doing it because you *have* to sucks. Doing it because you *can* is powerful. It’s the social equivalent of holding your hand over a flame

It’s time to reconsolidate a counterculture and politics against this shit. Science, art, medicine, poetry, philosophy as the beautiful life, the fullness of human civilization, that they want to destroy. Humanism, not cynicism, not slop, not tech “””nerd””” culture

an under discussed aspect of the “birth rate decline panic” is that young people keep voting for politicians and agendas that never win in america and feel like the world is doomed, while older generations keep reiterating that doom cycle and forcing agendas on younger generations that fuck us

It’s also perfectly viable, imo, to care about cis men’s problems because they are, like women’s problems or tran people’s problems, a subset of Human Problems and therefore something that matters altruistically to all. Probably generates less resentment too

One of the things find weirdly consistent across human endeavors is this: we’re much better at knowing there’s a problem than we are at identifying what the problem is or how to fix it.

Just a reminder that most of Trump's executive orders are nothing more than press releases. After he ordered the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to pull funding for NPR and PBS, the CPB responded that it is authorized and funded by Congress and is not subject to the president's authority.
