All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

So many guitarists have wanted to be Steve Cropper: quite rightly, and it made them better guitarists.
Fuck, this one hurts, for me the greatest guitarist, a musician in the service of the band and the song, who played on and helped create a wild succession of the finest records ever made. RIP Steve Cropper.

Sharks have survived four of the “big five” mass extinctions.
Sharks in the fossil record date back more than 400 million years. This makes them older than dinosaurs, older than trees, older than Mount Everest, and older than the rings of Saturn.

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

"The emerging post-Trump GOP is an amalgam of neo-fascist extremists and regressive 'establishment' Republicans. These factions are at odds with each other, as well as most of the nation, raising the question what kind of party will emerge as Trump’s dominion fades." — @davidrlurie.com

One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.
Sure, Galloway is better than Peterson
But he still believes the natural order of things requires men to be supreme. Men must protect, provide and procreate. It's dressed in progressive language, but it's fundamentally a patriarchal box to trap men in

We use the concept of empathy to shift risk to individuals and away from systems.
I think personally a lot of people mistake empathetic and nurturing for therapeutic and instructional
without realizing that sometimes things aren’t safe and shouldn’t feel safe because your “safety” is at the expense of others

I already responded to this once, but another point that I think is just so important for currently abled folks to understand is that if something needs to be changed so that disabled people can use it, it wasn't made correctly from the beginning. Universal access isn't just for physical structures.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.
