We always knew that "move fast and break things" was a stupid AF idea for an entire industry, but to bring it to the government is... just a new level of stupid. This is what happens when you import tech supremacy ideas into other spheres.

If you want to call your reps but are nervous about confrontation, here's an easy way to start: Call reps you LIKE and say THANK YOU. You don't only need to call the reps you disagree with after they do something sucky. You can call the reps who are standing up for you and express that it matters.

Have i mentioned the app 5calls? 🤣 go tell your senator you’ll take the agency that protects us from hostile business practices. I’m good on the $3.

5Calls is super easy to use. They say it takes 5 minutes and they are ✨accurate.✨ They give you more than a call script, they provide key dates+facts+names so you can brush up before calling. Don't just vent to your friends, put your senator on speed dial 😌) 5calls.org

Republican members of Congress aren’t assessing right or wrong, they’re assessing if the propaganda machine is holding up as the consequences start to appear. They may act in self-preservation if they start to believe that their media ecosystem won’t protect them.

A tremendous video essay about AI, writing, selfhood, poetry, art, and plosives - highly recommended!

If you let me convince you to watch one video this year, let it be this one. This is AI analysis at its best: pro-human. It looks in equal measure at what AI is not, and at what humans ✨are✨. It’s a celebration of culture and creativity and friends 🥰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5wL...

I'm a representative for the Democrats. A decade ago a grand piano fell on my head and ever since then, my memory restarts every 45 minutes. I am confident our existing legislative playbook will be able to handle this crisis.

Do Republican ads look like this too? So sneering and presumptive?

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

You need to fight, it’s possible to fight. And this really shows that people have NOT been fighting about other stuff. We need to fight every one of these. www.axios.com/2025/01/29/f...

Concentration camps preceded extermination camps by several years. They began in Germany just as administratively, just as innocuously, as this. It's important to understand the historical track we are on.

Nomad life fixed my brain. These (free) update posts are going to be my low-budget way to let more people in on that journey. I'm sharing more about what I've been up to and why I feel it's been working so well for me. Also, video essays. Lmao. www.patreon.com/posts/januar...

Hey YouTube, why do you tell me this by default? To make me feel bad? Why do you think I want to know this? Someday I should get back to UX videos and make one about the hostile and thoughtless UX of YouTube.

Some of my new favorite Video Essayists thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom. An old discourse at this point, but I am still not over how the narrative did not acknowledge Breath of the Wild almost at all. Would've been so much better. 😤 @afterthoughts.bsky.social @thenuk.es youtu.be/IuuWA24PMZY?...

I participated in The Essay Library's 48-Hour Video Jam! ☺️ along with ~30 other people! Wowowow It was cathartic to explore some thoughts via video. It's too personal to go public on my channel, but if you happen to see this, I hope you enjoy :) CW loss of a parent www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lgmo...
