The sign of a preschool and childcare center reads: fuelingbrains academy.
“Fueling brains”. The overvaluation of intellectual abilities over ethical ones start so early. How about we nurture some hearts.
Meme: “What a year, huh?” “Captain, it’s just March.”
War. Impending energy crisis that’ll turn into many crises. Caring for self and others. Doing some good when there is overwhelming BAD. Doing what you can. Doing. Do.
Keep your chin up. You’ve got this.

It would be nice if people remembered this piece of wisdom from the greatest economics tweet in history (and the one I am most insanely jealous of not having written, especially because it was a reply to me).
Market disruptions are providing real-time examples of how production and circulation are vital to the capitalist economy.
As Marx put it: ““Circulation is just as necessary as is production itself”.
Knowledge/ignorance shaped by algorithms, a ragebait economy that drains vitality.
Oh, to pay attention...
There always seems to be more than enough to bankroll carnage than care.
I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

"Stopping is also to see, and seeing helps to stop. The two are one. We do so much, we run so quickly, the situation is difficult, and many people say, “Don’t just sit there, do something.” But doing more things may make the situation worse. So you should say, “Don’t just do something, sit there.”" (Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace)
"Stopping is also to see, and seeing helps to stop.“
Apt, though tragic, time to start reading this polyphonic International Booker Prize longlisted novel that seamlessly merges the personal with the political.
“The chaotic and bloody world around us is the rule of law”. Uff. Too much truth.
And to do so on a day like today…gosh.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering
The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

“…outsourcing the entire writing process to LLMs may deprive us of the opportunity to reflect on our field and engage in the creative, essential task of shaping research findings into a compelling narrative — a skill that is certainly important beyond scholarly writing and publishing.”
Precisely. It is usually those with privilege who claim to be apolitical.
I’m only underlying that knowledge of power and politics that drives tech dampens excitement for it.
The general excitement over AI is the possibility of an abundance sans politics. When one learns about what powers the AI ‘revolution’ (and how), the magic seems expensive.
There should be excitement for alternatives that don’t dry up resources and communities. This needs a care-centred economy.
With cash transfers in general, the question is whether it only serves to "manage" exclusion and precarity, or become the foundation of a more radical, emancipatory politics. The spectrum of support spans these imaginations.
(Concrete utopians must hold onto the latter!)
"The most effective censorship is endogenous," says Geeta Seshu, co-founder of the Free Speech Collective. Having tracked this institutional erosion for decades, she notes that the state has successfully offloaded the labor of suppression onto the journalists themselves. "It is invisible. It's the reporter who stops pitching because they've internalized the boundaries of the permissible. It's the editor running mental simulations of state retaliation before a single word is printed."
The journalism story is bleaker.
“…the fundamental crisis isn’t whether a journalist can publish. It is the psychological alchemy that occurs in the mind before the first keystroke—the transformation of a reporter into a censor.”
