Meet me in the alley Tokyo, JP

Taps mic: not everyone who makes a video giving advice on the internet is an influencer. Some of them are just idiots with opinions.

Thinking of all the people who said, no no it’s not about racism during the last election(s). I think we can see pretty clearly now, it’s at least mostly about racism. And give it a few weeks. We will see it’s also about misogyny.

It's amazing how quickly White politicians in the South rushed to PROVE exactly why we needed the Voting Rights Act!

I remember my mom pointing out that having actors playing Russians, speaking to other Russians, in Russian was a weird thing to do

Their clerks have started telling them about 5-4 and they are pissed

As an Aries I love doing “I told you so” but I am getting real sick of having to do it all the time now

Evergreen sentiment. Words: Barbara Kruger. Sticker: @sharilyn.bsky.social

This is great.

Watching a WWI show and why didn’t they give people shields?

“Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s maybelline” radicalized a buncha teen boys who now run everything and got it backwards. That’s my theory of all the eugenics and race science resurgence.

Stop making eugenics a thing again!

My son’s girlfriend is doing the ”take care of a baby for a week” and the baby is very high tech and annoying and now everyone is very motivated to not get pregnant 😝

Quick lil Kyoto sketch

In 2012 I took a comp ling course that went deep into language models as AI. The professor dropped a quote that I think about probably once a week now: “building a computer model of language and expecting intelligence is like building a computer model of the ocean and expecting to get wet”

Farmers vote Republican because they're people with money & property. So they vote like people with money & property. That's it. It's not rocket science.

If we are overlooking Nazi tattoos can we relook at “Katie porter is a bully” claims? Because this Steyer situation is not it. I know it’s “not about hating women” but sometimes it seems like it is.

Jeff Bezos gave $10M to the Met to be a figure head. That’s what we in the non-profit biz call “fuck off money”. It’s an amount that means nothing to them but it allows them to do whatever they want. Sometimes it’s go to a fancy party. Sometimes it’s absolutely nothing. In no case is it meaningful.

I am about to proctor a bunch of AP tests at a local school and I can’t wait to see how well the technology works. Or doesn’t.

absolutely incredible thing for bret stephens to say out loud

The answer to this is the classic @dcpierson.bsky.social tweet and it’s not even close

Force feed this to the dem consultants!

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

Kids get run down or run off streets and we collectively shrug and say “that’s the cost of doing business”

Berkeley, CA: acid casualty reading labels in the grocery store like it’s high literature and also like they’ve never eaten any of the food before

I feel like all of this, “I am very reasonable” stuff about platner will be put to the test. I’m glad that’s not a test I have to take. But if that tattoo was a giant Black Lives Matter or Trans People are People the Dems would be taking it so very seriously. And not well.

I also support a well-designed vehicle to permit the people to reverse specific SCOTUS rulings. bit.ly/34Xznn9

Look I’m trying to be sympathetic but doesn’t it seem like the biggest crimes are done by cops?

Now let’s all learn from this moment!

@odiumsymposium.bsky.social just a thought after the last *shudder* episode: maybe the gullibility rating needs to be flipped? Like if you aren’t gullible you are worse? Or maybe I misunderstood.

Quick morning sketch

Now define ultra processed foods….

Watch LIFE UNEARTHED with Ariel Waldman on @pbs.org Stream, watch, rent or download in the U.S. and Canada! Episodes released weekly. Season 1 explores Antarctica and the North American Prairies.

The invisible hand of the market strikes again

Finished a sketchbook. Here’s a fly through.

Purbeck, UK

Given the argument that ended the VRA, I think it’s time liberals did some self reflection about the now decades long obsession with partisan polarization as the problem, as opposed to authoritarianism, extremism, oligarchy, and racism

Oh fer Pete’s sake!

From this morning’s walk in Berkeley

The comments 😭

Oh wow really

Disqualifying!

I taught dance ages 12-15 in exchange for my lessons being covered +$50/month in ‘84-‘86 but that was under the table bc I wasn’t old enough to work legally so... I was a coffee shop counter person for $3.15/hr (plus tips!) in ‘87.

😭😭😭

So I was showing my kid how LLMs work by doing basic autocomplete. But somehow auto complete can’t come up with “motherfucker” in any case including this one. So the companies need to be hauled into The Hague because clearly they are diddling the word predictions.

My god this man is the fucking worst

Being subjected to the same terrible ads on a streaming service you pay for is gonna make more anti-capitalists than anything else

So many reasons tom steyer is a problem but let’s start here

The princes in the tower survived and their lineage runs the world now
