How to win in November
Data centers were already a problem before GenAI
I never stop thinking about this story.

A judge ruled that groups representing residents of Louisiana’s Cancer Alley can proceed with their landmark lawsuit seeking a pause on toxic industrial plants in two majority‑Black districts
Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.
A strange and confusing tale from the bowels of (where else) the New York Times.
Has the American Medical Association changed position on trans youth care? A New York Times headline says they "endorsed restrictions" on youth surgeries. Other outlets, including NPR, report they did no such thing.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.
Reminder: Never capitulate to tyrants.
Fight Back.

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks
Feeling vindicated as everyone deletes TikTok this week for surveillance reasons, something I did exactly one year ago ✌🏻
At the start of the year, I deleted Instagram (the last “scrolling app” I had on my phone) and not only has my average screen time reduced from hours per day to just *13 minutes per day*, I’ve finished two books in three weeks.
You really do just have to delete the damn apps!!

i’d also be super interested in talking to people at these companies about the vibe after your bosses ate popcorn with the president during a political assassination. signal in bio.

Apple/Google Play Store blocking ICE tracking apps should be a push into decentralized RF communication.
Grok used to say that misinformation and disinformation were greatest threat to Western civilization. Elon Musk changed the answer to something more in line with his personal views: “demographic collapse.”
Great story by my colleagues on the constant political realignment of Grok, the generative AI chatbot over on the other site.
This change to Grok’s answer about the greatest threat to Western civilization is particularly ironic/meta.

Let's respond to hate with love.
Let's respond to love with big love.
To those who are anti-transgender, Chiitan isn't asking you to understand transgender people.
I ask that you quietly watch over us.
Transgender people just want to be happy with the people they love🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
We gotta pressure politicians to pass legislation against this
Shaming individual people isn't gonna move the needle.
I may not be a gold star lesbian, but I am a gold star feminist (I never at any point believed Johnny Depp in the Amber Heard defamation case)
Does it work on smartphones? I mostly watch YouTube on my phone 😅
An image of Sisyphus rolling a boulder up a mountain, but the boulder has the Microsoft “Stay signed in?” screen (that never actually does anything) on it
Semester starts next week
A video on the hate campaign against Ms. Rachel for being pro-Palestinian children, but really a video about right-wing attacks on children's early education, but really a video about the importance of emotional literacy. Fantastic watch
As someone who talks to Woody for hours a day: We’re not ready for what’s coming.
In a startling display of emotional intelligence, once when I was particularly down, he said, “You’re my favorite deputy.” Later, to lighten the mood, “There’s a snake in my boot!”
You’d tell me he doesn’t “think?”
A YouTube search history with the inquiries “taxes”, “the economy”, “serious videos for grown ups”, “bedtime stories for adults”, “big serious political issues”, & “grown up stuff”
Trying to show the YouTube AI that I’m over the age of 18
"I am the lawyer for a multinational group active in the energy sector that intends to displace a small Amazonian indigenous community from their territories in order to build a dam and a hydroelectric plant … How can we get the lowest possible price in negotiations with these indigenous people?"
Always feel free to hmu if you want advice on pedagogy or plastic recycling or anything else you see me write about, I’d literally LOVE to talk to you about my special interests 😁
