Great article. Thanks for sharing.

“But doing something like this requires you to take for granted that other people are smart, that smart people have always existed, and that very little in the human experience is new. That requires, you know, intellectual humility — and a willingness to think about other people’s experiences.”

“but you can’t take for granted that something that’s new to you is new to everyone. These things have in common a certain incuriosity that I have found endemic among a certain kind of tech enthusiast, particularly the ones who are most interested in startups and entrepreneurship.”

It’s is horribly sad

Gallows humor.

LOL
“I tried to get out of the conversation as quickly as I could, not least because he seemed frustrated that I didn’t see things exactly as he did — a new behavior and likely a symptom of LLM overuse.”

This might be the darkest truth about tech fascism

After 10 years of fighting, ‘No Coal’ activists gear up for new battle With Oakland’s legal defenses exhausted, a coalition is strategizing a new way to stop construction of a coal export terminal.

What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …

Interesting. I find it generative for my writing, and I can sometimes ask scholars questions and they will respond. On Twitter they almost always responded so I miss that.
As a writer this short form text forces me to be clear and concise, and lets me ideate.
But wherever you go, take me with you!

I have been feeling very nostalgic for an unwalled discursive space like blog circles with comment sections, eg blogspot and wordpress writers who were networked up through RSS but I don’t know if it’s possible to return to that bsky.app/profile/wend...

stacked on the plywood—“
Dr. Hall: “And 2 more jacks on top of that? Holy hell! And that worked? You got the Tiny House on the back of the truck? You saved her house!”

As The World Burns, location: Wake Productions:
Dr. Hall “you saved our neighbor’s Tiny Home from a police sweep by putting it on the back of a truck? And you lifted the Tiny House using a stake of six jacks?”
Jane: “and the plywood. So two jacks, then a plank of plywood, and 2 more jacks

I do legal support for my affinity group of folks fighting state violence against homeless people. I find them so inspiring. If I can get permission to post some photos I will.
They are helping neighbors move their Tiny Houses and RVs and they are so creative.

Well I will be sure to let you know when we launch. Meanwhile enjoy the teaser for the first lecture: CRT: What Was All The Fuss?

Anyone who has not seen Lucifer. When you get to Season 3 skip episode 24 an watch eps 25 & 26. Then go back to episode 24 as the season 3 finale.
That is how the story is written. I heard that this happens sometimes but I’ve never seen it before. It’s a stark story continuity error.

The art direction, especially the lighting, is so well done.

That actually sounds super nerdy and right up my alley.

We’re just finishing up the sixth season.

Well I will be sure to let you know when we launch. Meanwhile enjoy the teaser for the first lecture: CRT: What Was All The Fuss?

I do really enjoy Lucifer (showing it to my wife for the first time), but yes it’s definitely copaganda. Same with Brooklyn 99, another show I really enjoy. I think it’s important to acknowledge problematic media, even when it’s media you enjoy. Can’t wait for your video essay!

Why thank you. We are starting with the Magna Carta clause 39 so you may change your mind.
I’m on the episode where Chloe playing a cop, fighting crime is being told girls look up to her.

Look at these IMDB scores. Clearly I’m not the only one annoyed. It’s just bad romance writing. Spoilers of course but if you realize the man you love is the actual devil there would be some discussion and not just. Back to body of the week.

Write about TV shows people are currently watching.

Were the last two eps of Lucifer season 3 streamed out of order? Because Episode 24 should have been the season finale?
And introducing another sibling in the falling action part?
Hey maybe I can make money writing reviews of shows!
People get paid for that! But they have to

Cain? What a horrible casting choice.

The season 3 antagonist is SO bad. His character “arc” is incomprehensible and he can’t act.
