You're never going to be able to "personal responsibility" this shit. It's like guilting people into recycling while one luxury cruise voyage completely undoes a year's worth of personal responsibility. This can only be attacked by going after OpenAI and making them pay for their energy use.

Always fight back. They’re cowards. Cowards back down.

Last year I was arguing about a plea offer made by a prosecutor. The prosecutor told me that I was too obsessed with morality. After all, they said, "whether it's right or wrong isn't my job. Politics aren't my job. I don't take moral stands. I support and follow the law, whatever it is."

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

You don’t concede to fascists, because they never act in good faith. Does Columbia not have a history department that could have told the university managers that?

I rather expect that if the school management had been treated like this, they would not be calling it ‘a difference of opinion’.

I reiterate: ‘opinion columnist’ is a profession for which you need no training or experience, and for which you never have a bad performance review.

Periodic remainder: the UK was wrong to leave the EU. No, I’m not going to stop saying this.

There is a LOT that I’m not saying on social media. I can’t say it’s activism, but I police myself quite a lot. As, say, @fxfp.com or @simon.insanity.tube could tell you - if I would let them.

After a couple of glasses of wine, I am again slightly sad that I am not in a relationship. I don’t need one. But it would be kind of nice.

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
