I felt like my brain had plugged directly into a wall outlet. My health bar refilled in real time. There were sound effects.

In honor of a 78 degree March day, it’s time to re-up my annual favorite tweet

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called β€œNumident” and the β€œMaster Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

"I didn't like it, it wasn't for me" is a perfectly valid and fully realized position! Not everything is made for everybody!

"I didn't like it, therefore I must backfill moral reasons for my dislike" is the same stupid shit that RW influencers pull to call things "woke."

The files are driving everyone crazy. I can't stop thinking about one viral post that used an email from Arthur Sulzberger saying "Thank you for your support" as evidence of collusion btwn Epstein and the NY Times, when it's clearly a generic email to subscribers.

Stay focused on the real stuff!

This is long overdue, I hope it’s well-funded

Being old is regularly: ah i have stumbled across this quirky new song from what must be a niche little band waiting to be discovered which [checks] came out 8 years ago and has been streamed 47 million times

Oh the world is bleak? Yeah? Regional conflicts are spiraling? Well there’s a new Mitski album. So you know. I think you might just not have your priorities in order.

I see my nemesis has returned.

The ice cream truck that parks outside my child’s school.

You are a ruthless, brilliant entrepreneur and someday I will defeat you.

Until that day, a large vanilla waffle cone please, every single day until it gets cold out.

There is something deeply funny seeing racist dipshits who try to say there is no meaningful cultural difference between cultures in Africa or Asia turn around and crush down European cultures the same way. "English, Welsh, Scots and Irish people are basically the same" buddy there have been wars.

This. I was in Japan in January 2020. At my gate at Haneda, JAL had a sign up that said "we are wearing masks to protect you from COVID-19". I thought "huh, if people in Japan think they have to explain wearing masks, this COVID could be a fucking *thing*".

Turns out it was a fucking *thing*.

Important ruling on immigration operations in Minnesota

Judge Tostrud (Trump appointee):

"Plaintiffs have made a clear showing that Defendants have adopted a POLICY authorizing federal immigration officers to conduct investigatory stops based on ethnicity or race without reasonable suspicion."

"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that we affirm the rights of students and teachers to refuse to sign up for, prompt, or otherwise use generative AI in the writing classroom."

College writing teachers have spoken, y'all.

The CCCC resolution affirming students' and teachers' right to refuse generative AI in the writing classroom passed by an overwhelming majority at the #4C26 Annual Business Meeting this past Friday, March 6.

I’d be curious to see the generational breakdown of β€œnones”, particularly in the elder millennial set. My first real introduction to religion in the β€œreal world” was its mass weaponization.

Was never terribly bought in, even as a kid, but coming of age during the War on Terror, institutionalized homophobia, and anti-abortion attacks really soured the whole concept for me.

"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Claude. I'm on a paid plan, but you can get a lot of tokens on the free one--definitely enough to figure out if it works for your workflow.
