my new argument against uber with everything going on is simply going to be “why are you giving your money to a US multinational when you could be using a local taxi service?”

If you are actively culling your library to keep books like "The Bell Curve" while removing criticisms of the book, you are building a white supremacist library.

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

In 2016, I snuck into the world's largest iPhone factory and spoke to workers. The place was bleak, their stories tragic. So I was surprised to hear Harold Lutnick try to sell Trump's tariff policy by promising all that would come to the US. On Trump's trade war, automation + iPhones in America:

Hi! Are you a US researcher who spent time thinking about humans? Then your work is in danger of censorship and loss. I'm here to walk you through basic self-archiving. Maybe you think I am being hyperbolic. You only worked on bacteria! Not your problem. Do me a favor and join me anyway.

I just got a notice that an academic conference for 2026 was being moved from the US to Canada because of concerns people have with entering the US. The cell phone searches and random detentions at the border are going to have long-term negative effects on the US.

If this regime is dragging us back to the 1800s they should have to bring back the good stuff too. I want investment in high-speed railways. I want federal buildings redone in Art Nouveau. I want streets clogged with flâneurs walking tortoises on leashes. I want the de-extinction of Oscar Wilde

Funny how often armed agents of the state are also delicate little flowers. It's almost like the kind of person drawn to law enforcement tends to also be the kind of person who believes they should be above all criticism and never suffer any consequences for their actions.

The intermingling of fascist paramilitary and propaganda groups with the federal government is a literal hallmark of fascism. Do with that information what you will and really sit with what it means that a stochastic terrorist is now essentially deputized by the state to do as she pleases.

An observation: there was tons of interest in this story from French-language media and independent media (even a lil from international) but none from Canadian, English-language MSM. I wonder why. To be clear: this isn't about me -- it's about a playbook that impacts press freedom and democracy.

This is probably the most sinister thing to come out of this whole mess so far imo, because Lutnick (almost accidentally) makes the vision here crystal clear — using a combination of automation and precarious, immiserated American labor to mass produce products that profit tech oligarchs.
