Great post about generative AI. Happy Holidays. Don't say I never gave you anything. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

I am about as "give every student the benefit of the doubt" as you can be, but eff this student. Willfully setting up a TA and professor; nakedly lying to destroy others' careers; shamelessly cashing in with the right-wing grievance complex. What a miserable person. I hope she never graduates.

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Thread. RFK continues his murderous spree (those words are not meant to be flippant)

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Such a good piece by @davidjroth.bsky.social; he absolutely nails it (and I wish I could write as good as he does).

Parker called it. And this makes me so freaking angry.

Outstanding piece by @davidjroth.bsky.social on the conservative perpetual grievance machine.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “You cannot learn or grow while trying to appear as if you have everything figured out. You cannot talk to God by trying to avoid doing something wrong. Perfection is stagnation,” the concert pianist Jonathan Bliss writes in a guest essay.

The reason people freak out and run from Trump’s racist goon squad is they are literally disappearing people. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

These are called “concentration camps”

The witchy references in “Everybody Scream,” Florence and the Machine’s sixth album, feel particularly well suited to an album that charts the sacrifices that Florence Welch has made to have her work taken seriously, Grace Byron writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/E2vRoL

A number of viral infections, including flu, Covid-19 and shingles, are linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, a new study affirmed.

A small government-funded program has reduced the sea lamprey population in the Great Lakes by more than 90 per cent, saving the region’s $6 billion fishing industry. Now the program is at risk.

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

My comments with @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/us/news-toda...

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill. Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

I see the intolerant echo-chamber media elite as a net positive for public health because without them some people would have to throw themselves in front of a bus to slake their lust for victimhood

Hundreds of people have been doxxed, fired or threatened for social media posts that were seen as callous or celebratory after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In a Texas town, people flooded online feeds with attacks that spilled into the real world for a paramedic. nyti.ms/4n7CSND

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

In an unusual acknowledgement, the Trump administration said that its immigration crackdown is hurting farmers and risking higher food prices for Americans by cutting off agriculture’s labor supply.

if you've ever found value in the work of any anti-fascist writer or researcher today, you owe something to Leonard Zeskind. he was absolutely foundational.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Incarcerated people have long talked about a “blue wall of silence” in prisons: an unspoken agreement among correction officers to cover up for one another’s abuses. A report filed after the murder of Robert Brooks exemplifies this phenomenon.

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

Burger King abandoned its 'Creepy King' mascot, the one with the uncanny valley face and bizarre commercials, because it was too scary for families with young children who would end up at McDonald’s instead. bit.ly/4h2xppV

“Enshittification” was a term coined by Cory Doctorow, in 2022, to describe how the technologies that dominated our daily lives seemed to be all getting worse at the same time. Now, in a new book, he expands on the word that has become bleakly relevant.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

really interesting to me that pete hegseth — who incidentally was accused of domestic abuse — is obsessed with war crimes

Their place in history is "settled," just not how Hegseth wants it to be. Wounded Knee was not a "battle." It was a massacre, enthusiastically conducted by US Army soldiers and officers. This is the equivalent of honoring those responsible for the war crimes at My Lai.
