Today I think I leveled up in A.I.-literacy. Check out my chat with mr. GPT (chatgpt.com/share/67c1d0...). As background (and relevance-filter) you'll want first to watch the Owen Jones video that prompted it: (youtu.be/wMNj2DDMGgc?...)

The US casually declared that Israel was defeated in Gaza. The whole rationale for mass murder - defeating Hamas - is declared void. So all that's left is mass murder for its own sake. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-def...

Gabor Maté is one of the most impactful voices on my sense of what it is means to be a moral human. Chris Hedges is a seriously out of fucks reporter and interviewer. A great listen and if you are unfamiliar and intro to these totally based folx. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRvK...

Film journal entry: Challengers (2024): letterboxd.com/langroq_af/f...

American credulity of the retread lies justifying Israeli belligerence is nothing new. Israel is an undemocratic terrorist ethno-nationalist state that has been committing atrocities and violating international law for many decades. The US is responsible and could and should begin to reverse it now.

Sight and Sound list of the best video essays of 2024!! I've got a couple picks in here, but the real value of this list is highlighting dozens of creators outside the YouTube circle (did you know incredible things are happening on Vimeo? You should!) www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...

I side with Ireland. 🇮🇪 I side with all humans consumed by all ethnic nationalism in Palestine/Israel. Thinking humans who empathize with historical and present day Anti-Semitism have got to be repulsed by the duckspeak of Israel's brutal leaders. youtu.be/g-okYeYnjvk

A great day ahead: reading Robin Wall Kimmerer's much anticipated book, the Serviceberry followed by getting to see and hear the brilliant author live at Seattle Arts and Lectures. Okay world, don't screw it up!
