lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider : are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No. but do they enable great things that people want? Also no. but are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no. maybe you're not being negative enough

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

No. Fuck you. The only thing I ever want to "learn more" about regarding your badly-purposed LLM is how to opt out of it forever.

Help me out #TeacherSky We're getting close to the end of the year. I used to get Target gift cards for my kid's Teachers as a token of appreciation but Target and AMZ are dead to me. Suggestions for good end of the year gifts? Maybe gift cards for the local coffee shop and Staples/OfficeMax?

I spoke to actualpeople in both my blue state senators' offices today when I called about the SAVE act. This is like the first time since Feb for one of them. So if you've been waiting to get through, or if you just don't want these people to know peace, now may be a good time to call.

Jesus Vanguard, read the room. Why do you want me to gaze upon a smoldering crater right before I have to go to work?

"With Tesla’s continued sales drop, Musk is getting a harsh reminder that he’s not the only one who can wield a pocketbook to send a message." Damn right he is. And we're gonna keep on sending it. #teslatakedown www.cnn.com/2025/04/03/b...

Committing just 0.5% of the NYC budget to fund public libraries would be transformational for our city. Take a moment to ensure that all our mayoral candidates know that libraries have our full-throated support. actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

FACT CHECK: Canada Proud is run by Jeff Ballingall. These aren’t grassroots movements — they’re well-funded propaganda pipelines built to smear opponents and flood your feed with rage bait and falsehoods. They’re part of the same operation Poilievre’s team has brought on to run digital comms.

Well, we won't hire them or stock their products, but someone should probably acknowledge Black Women so maybe you can? - Target Target really thinks we're suckers. The contempt they have for their (former) customers is breathtaking.

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says he’s inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill. Says he’s heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors. Everyone in red states :: call your reps!!

I've been struggling intellectually with this push to destroy America by the Trump/Musk/Thiel set who are on this Yarvin trip. It just doesn't really make sense. A lot of the stuff they seem to like about being rich: attention, admiration, art, fancy shit, depends on a functioning society.

If you have a Republican representing you in the House or Senate, call them to demand they undo Trump's tariffs. They're already shaken by the 20 point shift in Florida and the Wisconsin loss. You can fuel that feeling.

We now need the House to act on this. You need to call your Rep, ESPECIALLY if they're GOP. Don't tell me it won't do any good. Don't concede the fight in advance. Just fucjin call their office and leave a quick voice mail saying you want the tariffs gone.

"Hi Senator I am a voter in [your home zip code] and I saw what Sen. Booker did for others and I want that for me. Good day". A phone call like this is worth 10,000 quote posts.

REMINDER: Wisconsin has same-day voter registration. So, if you haven’t registered or recently moved or anything like that, you can register at your polling place (with ID and proof of residence) TODAY. Every state should do this. It’s great that Wisconsin does this. Go vote.

Wisconsin! Judge Susan Crawford will work to protect your rights and freedoms. So get out there and vote today by 8pm. You can find your polling place at wisdems.org/vote. If you have any questions about voting, call or text the Voter Assistance Hotline at 608-336-3232.

Keep thinking today about how, because I write about art, I've paid literally thousands of dollars in image permission fees for the multiple books & articles by me that appear in the LibGen database - and how these tech companies then turned around and used my work for no compensation whatsoever
