We don’t need AI to “be creative” for us; we need a world in which there is time and space to wonder, joke and play with words. To fuck around with color and texture, to experiment with an intriguing sound, without the need to immediately convert process and artifact into engagement to stay solvent.

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

Day 3️⃣ of Criminal Justice Reform ⚖️ Every day through the end of the year, we're pointing to high-impact policy ideas to reform the criminal justice system without making it bigger. Let's talk about prison sentences & pathways to exit the system🧵

I don’t always do this, but this year, I felt inspired and made a holiday card. May your drums roll as you wish them to throughout the season and the coming year.

A little holiday card I got to draw for a public library last year that I’m still proud of; happy almost-new-year ✨

Things can feel hopeless but this year, people fought back. Here's how the town of Ypsilanti, Michigan is taking on the construction of a 'high-performance computing facility' that would service a nuclear weapons laboratory 1,500 miles away. www.404media.co/a-small-town...

100% - ONE HUNDRED PERCENT - maternal deaths among Indigenous women were preventable. That means the "medical system" killed them by not preventing those deaths.

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%). Lay article attached:

A lot of bad things happened this year in the criminal legal system. But as we enter 2026, it's important to remember that we aren't helpless, and the U.S. doesn't have to continue down this road.

i hope you’ll listen to this week’s what’s all this then because i think it’s really good. and justin is such a wonderful guest. and im nice. ad-free on patreon or with horrible ads here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Anyway here are some consenting adults 🦆

finally: a weird late-90s-ish eve warmup from yesterday. fox fox fox (i've been not doing/posting my warmups because i felt weird even doing them when i've got work to do but it's probably part of why i got burned out again: not balancing things correctly then wondering why i crash & burn pffthhhh)

You can still order yours and we'll ship it out sometime in the next week! Holiday hours are a little spotty but generally if you order before 9am CT we'll ship the order out same day. feetlegal.com

Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears. Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

Our so-called opposition party can't afford to be cute or coy with what's happening here. It's not just naked corruption, it's ethnic cleansing, treason, atrocities, with naked corruption threaded through it. Personally profiting from slave labor and torture.

Consumers don’t know if their medications came from factories that used dirty water, were infested by insects or birds, or were outright banned from shipping drugs to the U.S. Our new app provides answers that the FDA won’t.

Holiday cheer doesn't extend to commissary. Prisons know how devastating it is to spend the holidays behind bars – and they know it's a chance to exploit incarcerated people and their families:

We're streaming to support World Central Kitchen, a non-profit which has served over 289 million meals to Ukrainians affected by the war, and with a goal of serving one million meals PER DAY in Gaza Currently we've raised nearly $7,000 Join us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpVY...

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

"I don’t know if the mail rule has stymied the flow of drugs into the prison... But as we get closer to the holidays, I do know I will miss my mom’s loopy cursive handwriting on a Christmas card." When prisons ban physical mail, families suffer.
