NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.

From 1619 to 1865, the US benefited from over 222 million hours of unpaid, dehumanizing, forced labor by enslaved black people per scholars. This labor- primarily the production of tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton- would be valued at over $97 trillion today. @coribush.bsky.social

The number of people I know who have moved to Substack is curious. Are people seeking written longform? Or am I just realizing a lot of who I befriend are nerds?

So, this is awesome. I made an Ableton Live visualization of Contrapunctus XI from Bach's Art of Fugue a while back, and it's discussed in a new article in Music Theory Spectrum. There's a screenshot and everything! academic.oup.com/mts/advance-...

I have never been more happy to see thick clouds. Border 2 Fire is at 6600+ acres with 10% containment, but the westward winds seem to be helping push the spread to us. Hopefully the heavens can splash a saving touch on us.

Red skies. Ash floors. Masks up. It’s senior year, all over again, except the flames feel closer and extend to DC. Such an eerie feeling.

I remember the eerie feeling in 2007 when I saw the mountain outside my window light up in flames, wondering if I would awake the next day. I’m feeling it again in my spine as I see pictures of the Border 2 Fire. 600 acres of fire. God, how heavy my heart be.

What a two years it’s been ☺️ so glad I could celebrate it in a quiet area by the bay. (I usually don’t splurge with food, but when the occasion calls and when a bunch of your students give you gift cards… 🙃)

It is not cowardice to need to avoid all this. It feels worse because it is worse this time. Prioritize yourself and your mental/physical health and don’t let the scolds bother you. They’re not you and have no idea what you’re going through.

I’m glad my grandfather passed away years before this day. My grandfather — grandson of a rabbi who fought in WWII to protect our country from this kind of evil — would be heartbroken. There’s no mistake in this image. Musk isn’t acting out of ignorance. God help us.

I hope Nintendo never announces a Switch successor. It’s much funnier to be stuck in an endless cycle of people claiming to know what’s going to happen.

Dear Tech Companies, No. We don't want "A.I." anything. We don't want A.I. social media "friends." We don't want A.I.-generated news reporters or anchors. We don't want A.I. to curate our music or make our movies. We REALLY don't want A.I. put in charge of our insurance claims or kids' education.
