I use Siri occasionally in the car. Stopped at a light, conversing with kid, "What year was the Polio vaccine invented?" etc. A thing I have noticed: At least in this voice-only context, Siri always provides a citation, "This answer is from Wikipedia" eg. I think this is Important.

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

Conservatives don't think, but most of the impulse behind anti-trans sentiment is "I should be able to discriminate against people I think are ugly". Transgender to them is just a flavor of "ugly", broken, wrong. This is why it's "obvious" to them who should be subject to gender policing. (Thread:)

Capital did this. Zucks relentless quest to be cool, snap, jack, these are the criminals of the new millennium. How do you fuck up the cradle of all human thought and connection and drive it into the ground to the point where those who are most easily able to still feel joy avoid it like a curse? $

Excellent piece by @bryantfrancis.me but I have one amendment to make to a suggestion from the quoted source. We really need to start attributing success to its actual underpinnings, rather than romanticizing what we want it to mean.

Everyone who makes things is struggling & the people who seem to be doing very well are not visible participants in the creation of their wealth & you gotta wonder if all the talk about "if you just give people [UBI] they won't want to work" really means "they won't be compelled to work -for me-".

Sometimes you would have a whole print magazine and then also have another version of that magazine for children, who also read magazines. It was people's jobs to make them and they got paid money.

Here to say that we wouldn't exist without arts funding. Not only would 1000xRESIST not exist without arts funding, we as artists who practiced for YEARS, trying to understand ourselves and our mediums would not exist without arts funding. Fund the arts! All of them. Including games.

I am once again begging you, if u must stream music, to consider any of the competitors from the chart below that pay artists better than Spotify. "According to a shocking new book, Spotify has been promoting so-called 'ghost artists' so it can avoid paying its piddling royalties to real artists":

Over the weekend, the Library of Congress posted this video message Dr. Carla Hayden, whom Donald Trump unjustifiably dismissed as Librarian of Congress, that makes clear how much the nation has lost. Props to whoever put it up. I hope everyone watches it.

One of my kiddo's teachers is replacing some old iPads that are being taken out of service by the district.

I spent 2.5 hours on Saturday shoveling mulch to help with a landscaping project at my kid's school. My body aches fiercely but my pain is nothing compared to the joy and beauty the labor will bring. I feel like this mirrors my occasionally unhealthy relationship with the art I work on. 😅
