I've been SCRAPED. I just typed my name into LibGen and found that AI companies have stolen so much of my IP -- there are 15 entries, including the Chinese translation of my book Inventology. I don't want their fuckin' blood money. I want them to respect my copyrights.

Essential reading for our time: Ed Zitron's "A Hater's Guide To the AI Bubble." He lays out a convincing case that AI is basically the WeWork of the 2020s, and he does it with a barrage of facts in a blistering, hilarious rant. www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-g...

The Times of London just declared Somerville (my former home) to be "the most polyamous city" in America! www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Wesleyan's President feels comfortable naming Mahmoud and defending him publicly. Why won't Columbia's Board, President, Provost, Deans name and defend Mahmoud? He is one of our community members, but they clearly approve of his abduction. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...

"Are you deporting only Western, South, and Eastern Asians (and Muslim Africans) with impressive educations? I noticed that, thus far, most of them are pursuing their PhDs. If it helps, despite pleas from my dad, I have no interest in being an MD or PhD."
