AI doomerism has so many parallels to historic, white political panics over slave revolts. 'If our property "thinks" for itself and becomes smarter than us, then it *will* wipe us out' it's meant to distract from how neoliberal tech is used to commit atrocities from genocide to mass surveillance

some folks in my discord recently recommended @caseyjohnston.bsky.social's work to me and i absolutely LOVE it. i devoured the book, love the newsletter, and am starting the liftoff program too. big fan, highly recommend — especially if you've had a difficult relationship with exercise in the past 🖤

It’s A PHYSICAL EDUCATION parade hour. I have only ever seen people say “no please go ahead!!” when anyone is nervous about promoting their book, so I am going to promote with a penetrating unblinking stare until someone admits verbally that they cannot take it anymore

Did I need more books? Of course not. And yet... Picked up a couple of classics I've never owned plus A Physical Education by @caseyjohnston.bsky.social which I've been looking for (love her writing!).

an important thing to remember as The Cool Zone looms: the most egregious recent violent and militarized crackdown -- at places like UCLA and Columbia -- was done under democrats with the full support of democrats. they aint gonna help

May reading wrap! My goal this year is a book per week, and I'm averaging ~2. Something something, world is burning, escapism. My favorite this month was A Physical Education by @caseyjohnston.bsky.social. 5⭐ - Informative, relatable, and inspiring. Well worth the read! #booksky #storygraph
