Using Canvas agentic AI to do your work for you signals that your work is worth less than it was prior to that act. The idea that this will, long term, free faculty time is belied by every single thing we know about the history of labor automation. It either puts you out of work, or you work more.

So if AI Psychosis is a thing that happens because the human mind breaks when it's trapped by a sycophant who affirms every thought, agrees with every delusion - does this give us a window into what's been happening into the ultra rich , and why they're such broken people?

I hate it here.

You just now that Peter Thiel and his coterie of techbro dipshits promised this moribund Congressman that they can upload his consciousness to the cloud if he keeps voting for Trump until he dies. Of course, when he dies, he will just nothing but the memories of what a shitty person he was.

Meta and Facebook are bad, but Chelsea is good people and we need to be cognizant of the lingering danger of Long COVID.

Bolsonaro is in the hospital again for those keeping track.

The backbone of the military: a massive logistical enterprise Our military leaders: Fuck those nerds, we're WARFIGHTERS! This is all so predictably stupid.

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

A Seppuku a week for MZS.

Matt sent me a care package with a Hitchcock book, Soapy Smith soaps (with a prize inside), and a lovely note during the last federal shutdown. I've never met this man, have just read his work and followed him online for years. It's the kind of person he is. He elevates people—let's all elevate him.

Buy from this store! MZS is the best!

To the people bitching about the slow TSA line: it's fucking 5am on a Saturday in Buffalo and these people are not getting paid. Deal with it.

I'm sure this guy will be way more moderate toward the government that blew up his dad.

Here I am in Washington, taking the Metro to work on a day like any other, while people in Tehran and the Middle East are under a barrage of missiles and drones. People here in the United States have no concept of what war really is. We lack imagination and solidarity. The bill will come due.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

I hate the gerontocracy, but Janet Mills can beat Susan Collins and she is not a Nazi.

The US for weeks talked loudly about potentially attacking Iran, and visibly moved military assets to the Middle East. Given the imminence of an American attack in Iran, would we accept a preemptive IRGC attack on American soil resulting in Trump's death? I don't think so.

The idea that Iran poses an existential threat to me while my neighbors are abducted and detained by masked government goons is beyond farcical.

We, the American people, deserve every terrible thing that is going to happen to us.

Seven years today since my ride or die buddy Pete went for the latter. Miss you dude, think about you every day when I see a weirdo in the BLS halls and come up with a nickname that you would immediately understand. Have a drink with me later today, wherever you are. And fuck cancer.

Peak Maryland has been achieved by the man with the tattoo of a blue crab dangling from his nipple.

Happy Valentines Day to my lovely wife Mairead, to Renate Reinsve, and to all other brunettes with big faces. <3

When the loan servicer offers to refinance the 2.25% mortgage on my house.

I oversee 300 federal contractor positions in jobs that go primarily to lower-income Americans. Many of the job candidates face delays onboarding because they lack the REAL ID required for their credentialing. Each one of these would be disenfranchised if the SAVE Act passes.

Incredible.

I bet they're going to use the El Paso airport to mass deport a shit ton of people.

My alternate take: 1. Wall St. analysts are bullshit. Monkeys with darts do just as well and also have no conflicts of interest. 2. It is incredibly naive to attribute to savviness the relative success of a completely unregulated market that surely has rampant insider trading.

Cc: Dems If you can't win against this, go home

It's a good time to put money down on the Patriots because evil always wins.

Taking to my union siblings about some institutional history from back in 2006 and one chimes in, "I was in kindergarten then." 💀💀💀💀💀

The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody

The Washington Post does not deserve to survive this. I hope we can build something like the Baltimore Banner here.

Attempt at an Overton Hangar Entrance here.

I am once more furloughed. I don't care how long it lasts. I'm OK if the Dems torpedo this because FUCK ICE and FUCK CBP.

I have never worked for a boss that spoke to me with as much contempt and derision as my union local president speaks to rank and file members. I am so glad the young'ins are caucusing and I can't wait to help them kick the current leadership's ass in this year's elections.

When is the media going to state the obvious? Maduro's Veep outsourced a coup d'etat to the US military and now Trump it's getting paid.

If there's another partial shutdown, I'll be furloughed again. I cannot begin to explain how devastating that will be for me at work. I'm still catching up from the last one and it will be absolute hell when I come back. That said, FUCK ICE, shut this shit down, we should not be funding Nazis.

One year ago today. Fuck EVERYONE involved in this.

Since companies are clearly able to censor posts they find problematic, we can repeal section 230 and hills them liable for platforming illegal speech.

So I live just a mile north of DC, near the chaotic interchange of Georgia Ave and the Beltway. The state is finally going to make it safer for pedestrians. Lo and behold, it turns out that much of the land used to be the Mt. Zion Methodist Episcopal Church, a historically Black church.

Welker is doing a good job with Blanche. No clue what's going on in Bari Weiss's shit show. Couldn't see Jonathan Karl this morning because Sinclair preempted the show.

I'm leaving a voicemail for every single Democratic Senator right now. Up to New Jersey now. Mailbox full for Durbin, Duckworth, Peters, Slotkin, and Smith up to now. Please do the same. And apologies to Sen. Hassan, since I addressed her as Sen. Shaheen in my voicemail. My bad!

Fuck Henry Cuellar. Fuck Jared Golden Fuck Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Fuck Laura Gillen Fuck Don Davis Fuck Tom Suozzi Fuck Vicente Gonzalez Fuck Hakeem Jeffries. Fuck Chuck Schumer. Fuck every Republican. And fuck every Trump voter. Every single fucking one of you. Get fucked.

This is murder. He's not obstructing, there was no lawful order for him to do anything. They pulled him in and assaulted and killed him. At no point did he brandish the gun he was likely allowed to carry. This young man was murdered.

THERE. CAN. BE. NO. AMNESTY.

Anyone who defends the second amendment by saying we need guns to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government needs to be socked in the goddamned mouth.

More people here than in either of Trump's inaugurations.

Today is a great day to read my review of the best movie I saw last year:
