A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

It's only a matter of time before humanities departments will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.

Saw a piece on the fragmentation of the internet and… I think that’s a good thing? Assuming we survive to tidal wave of AI slop, the internet was at its best when it was little islands of nerdiness. Now we just need to get pop-pop off facebook

Even more so because we never had cancel culture. We had the beginnings of a suggestion of cancel culture and most privileged people and every vector of institutional power treated it like the biggest moral hazard the world has ever seen and spent an astonishing amount of effort to shut it down.

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

For day 299 of my year long retrospective on made for TV movies that need a DVD/Blu Ray release, I chose a cult classic. A Cold Night's Death (aka Chill Factor, 1973) is about two snowbound research scientists (Robert Culp and Eli Wallach) who find that they might not be alone. Creepy

I've been thinking about Matt Furie a lot during this period of political frog realignment, so I made this comic dedicated to him.
