Came home to see family and friends, lucked out on listening some phenomenal poets tonight. 🗽 I missed New York.

the wound isn't your fault, but healing it is your responsibility

AI Use Appears to Have a "Boiling Frog" Effect on Human Cognition, New Study Warns A new study claims to offer the first causal link between AI dependency and cognitive erosion. Researchers warn of long-term implications.

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty.

"People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.”

I’ve been informed this is the plot of Dune

DOLORES DEI - I always loved you for it -- but it could not save us. It could not make me stay.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - You would be right to drown this shit in alcohol. Drown it... until your neurons depolarize. Until it's gone, melted.

I still keep writing to you. I don’t know how not to.

Surveillance is a one-way ratchet toward authoritarianism. Yes, even by private companies. Even when people “consent.” Even when the company gives you “free” stuff, or let you stand in a shorter line, or make your life more convenient somehow.

Man, this is the kind of stuff you want to wake up to.

I am still understanding and coming to terms with all the ramifications of what happened. Despite being X years removed myself. I thought acknowledging it even occurred was enough, but it goes so much deeper than I wanted to admit. In seeing this, just wanted to say thank you for speaking up.

The axe forgets but the tree remembers. I will never forget what happened to me. Whether that’s my head, my heart, or my soul.

A student I met last year, who had faced some of the same struggles and disadvantages that I have, asked me if I ever questioned whether I belonged at the table with people who hadn't faced such issues. I told her that I never experience those doubts professionally and that she shouldn't either.

Un poeta is a movie I wish we
watched together P. It is a cautionary tale to me. It highlights some of my most self-indulgent tendencies and how I am like my dad…It shows the pain of an overpromising father who fails to followthrough. An addict’s vicious cycle. A great 🪞 of 🇨🇴. Promise to do better.

Democrats this last week have really had the ball on a tee and they swung, missed the ball, hit themselves in the testicles, and are currently on the ground shitting their pants.

"Jeffries also stipulated that there must be language in any new DHS bill empowering state and local law enforcers to conduct their own investigations, and perhaps bring their own charges in cases of alleged misconduct by DHS officers."

Let me be really fucking clear: this is ALREADY the law.

My heart flows over with grief but I will not stop

We owe it to the brave people of Minnesota to not let their sacrifices be in vain.

Abolish ICE, send them all to The Hague

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

I’m so sick of people throwing their hands up and saying abolishing ICE isn’t possible right now. Abolishing ICE is extremely popular and calls to do so will only continue to grow, meanwhile conservatives manage to do incredibly unpopular things all the time because nobody stops them

Kind of think government murder squads roaming our streets is more upsetting than having to see pronouns in emails occasionally.

what. on. earth.

RIP 🪦 Dungeon Encounters

it’s a time of year where people often feel isolated, alone & the shadows of the world seem closer. I’ve lost friends during this time of year, people who I know would have found the light again. just a reminder to reach out to friends, family or support organizations. just take that first step.

Trump’s immigration data dragnet The US is pulling in vast amounts of personal information in its drive to deport 1mn people this year

NEW: We took a deep dive into ICE's data dragnet: the data brokers, biometrics tools, and license plate readers powering Trump's deportation effort. Some of the contracts are for tools previous administrations deemed too intrusive.

every day lately feels like this

It comes in waves. Truly processing just how much you took for granted and how much you fucked up with a person.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.
