Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then, well, it's Tuesday:

So tired, y’all. This whole slow-mo collapse of constitutional democracy while the defacator-in-chief builds a goddamned golden ballroom is just…exhausting.

I’m gonna go eat a bunch of pasta and chocolate, hug a puppy, and fold some laundry before bed.

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

They are trying to normalize cruelty and violence. We cannot allow it.

A tweet from Alison Cook reads: “The kids are alright.” The attached photo shows a young woman sitting on public transit holding a protest sign. The sign reads: “WHEN CRUELTY BECOMES NORMAL, COMPASSION LOOKS RADICAL,” with the words “CRUELTY” and “COMPASSION” written in red and the rest in black. Sunlight streams through the train windows, showing a brick building and blue sky outside.

One person announced an actionable next step: BOYCOTT BLACK FRIDAY

Shouldn’t everyone who marched post that?

I’m just wondering. Just asking.

We are behind the scenes doing what we are doing - I just want to know what the visibility was about.

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

AI’s Invasive Species

The slop is winning.

The thing that broke me isn’t that so many people aren’t aware of what is happening. They know. They just don’t care. They look at the hateful rhetoric and violence and destruction of constitutional law think, “Well, that’s not my problem.” Very few people are actively evil. It’s a lack of empathy.

For my entire existence, at least the parts I could remember, I had done nothing but accept the inevitable. I was tired of it.
