accidentally fell through a hole into one of those analogue horror liminal spaces but this one is based around the 90’s pizza hut buffet so I’m feeling pretty good about it

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

On an unrelated note, I just came up with an AMAZING birthday party idea...

If you need a break from what will no doubt be a LOT of bleak political discussion today, may I suggest a pair of spectacularly gorgeous images of colliding galaxies taken using Hubble and JWST? badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/spectacula... 🔭🧪

My statement on the January 6, 2021 Violent Insurrection:

If you need help knowing when to order more milk, you need more help than smart appliances can offer. You probably need some form of in-home care. All the vaguely compelling use cases—handling delicate, complex, or novel situations—are *exactly* the use cases I wouldn’t trust LLMs for.

I talked with my friends @prisonculture.bsky.social, @deanspade.bsky.social, @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social, and @shaneburley.bsky.social about activism and organizing in 2025 and how we should move into the next phase of struggle.

What I learned from Prince and Muhammad Ali was that it’s possible to love yourself so much that everybody else does, too.

Waymo is peak American innovation. With way less money they could have built a reliable public transport network, but instead someone was like "what if we could find a way for empty vehicles to contribute to traffic too? There's no reason we can't have more cars on the road than there are drivers"
