We are way more excited about real scientific space exploration than billionaire space tourism and I love that for us !

As the police nearly ran me down I threw my hands in the air in a gesture of “hey! I’m walking here! What are you doing?” the cops, state troopers no less, waved at me with shit-eating grins on their faces as they zoomed by. Acab.

Last year a pedestrian got hit and killed in Main Street by a motorist who was fleeing from police. The city’s had a hullabaloo over improving Main Street safety. Yesterday I was in the middle of a Main Street crosswalk, nominally protected by law and signage, when who nearly ran me over? Police.

The abuses we’re seeing ICE commit in public are likely just the tip of the iceberg. The ugliest crimes of secret police are committed behind closed doors.

Given the housing & comm realty crises I recommend renting an office to live in. I did it during the Great Recession; said it was my “art studio.” It was cheap, convenient, included utilities. I lived two doors down from a GOP congressman and above a reggae band’s rehearsal space

We have all known someone who was way too into The Doors.

The Allies bombed the shit out of civilians during WWII, then signed the Geneva Conventions because we never wanted our civilians similarly treated. Violating the laws of war makes our people vulnerable to the worst crimes against humanity.

American decline is due, in large part, to the persistent efforts by rich people to ensure that their own progeny retain wealth and power no matter how stupid and lazy they are.

🎶 We’ll meet again Don’t know where Don’t know when But I know we’ll meet again Some sunny day 🎶

Da Pope, cracking his knuckles, “So, I heard you got a problem with the meek.”

In a political career defined by grotesque statements, this president’s horrifying, illegal, and genocidal threat this morning is among the most dangerous and appalling.

America not beating the Great Satan charges

At least we don’t have to say Madam President

🎶 We’ll meet again Don’t know where Don’t know when But I know we’ll meet again Some sunny day 🎶

I think Donald Trump may be out of touch.

companies add [additional] flaws to their genAi models so that users will always be willing to adopt new, updated, and/or costlier versions

The first Easter

The first Easter

She is risen.

Dry ass brisket

I am an avowed hater. The cost of genAI to human livelihood and human dignity, are unjustifiable. While on an intellectual level I see the nuance and potential and fantasy of AI, on a bedrock ethical, moral level, I cannot accept a technology that despoils the planet and our people to enrich the few

What are you listening to this weekend? I’ve got “Walking At A Downtown Pace,” by Parquet Courts playing on a loop youtu.be/0R7wpcw1Z4A

Social welfare programs account for about half of federal spending and that’s a good thing! The government should do more to help people than to harm people. Imagine what we could do for our people w 60, 80, or 100% spending on improving the lives of Americans!

The end of birthright citizenship does not mean that the children of undocumented immigrants can be stripped of their citizenship, it means that ANYONE BORN IN THE USA CAN BE STRIPPED OF THEIR CITIZENSHIP. Wake the fuck up, America!

Guess the city Difficulty level: Zero

Damn. Reviewer 2.

If the government wins this decision, then Trumpists will get to define who is or isn’t an American citizen. Where would they draw the line? The “one drop rule” provides an handy precedent.

Are there any classic SciFi novels that Elon Musk doesn’t misunderstand?

Musk: never incorporate in Delaware 😡 Delaware: good luck with that 😂

Thank the gods for Elon Musk. He is indispensable. His example makes it infinitely easier to explain the problems of under-regulated capitalism to students and the public.

Heinlein: grok is intuitive communication via empathy Musk: you mean sarcastic dick jokes?

If it’s in the Constitution, then it’s constitutional.

Re: the Headlines

Glad to have lectured long and loud on BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP and the Reconstruction Amendments this semester

So desperate for IP that studios are turning random Grateful Dead lyrics into movies

What a way to find out you failed your performance review

The average age of the engineers inside NASA Mission Control when the Apollo 11 capsule returned on July 24, 1969 was 28.

The least realistic scene in One Battle After Another is when the protagonist steals sunglasses from a store and walks away unnoticed
