I have listened to this album 100,000x since it came out and am still obsessed. Bailed on seeing them in Chicago last spring and it is one of the great regrets of my life. Far and away my favorite album this year so far.

They thought they were making technological breakthroughs. It was an AI-sparked delusion: https://cnn.it/4mHkJH0

I’m staring at the carpet in a bowling alley to understand the basic structure of the cosmos

NJ students in grades 6-12 will now learn about “the history of organized labor, notable strikes throughout history, unionization drives, and the collective bargaining process and existing legal protections in the workplace.” This is genuinely so important, and so good to see. Jersey strong, baby!!

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen

Here is a wonky thread about work I did I'm proud of. In 2020, SEIU sponsored AB736 in California that effectively established a prevailing wage standard for adjunct professors at private colleges who are hired and paid per course they teach. 🧵

AI slop now making up saccharine Bible verses that do not exist

such a rousing recruitment ad for the professional calling of standing around in full combat gear in the parking lots of gas stations and grocery stores to leer at whoever passes by!!

Imagine being part of a floundering political establishment at historic lows in favorability, seeing this guy's absolutely infectuous energy, and deciding to try to stop it through an array of embarrassing media appearances and editorial blunders.
