There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

it is very, very important that the kind of institutionalists who would stand in the way of this absolutely get their shit rocked in the next two primary cycles
So this kind of thing is genuinely extremely useful for building public support for court reform.
You just have to look up Judge Jeffrey Brown’s resume and then wonder what it must be like for him to have the Roberts Court basically go, “You fool. You idiot.”

The more nakedly partisan the court majority acts, the more I think they'll strike down the tariffs because I think it would be a net benefit to Republican electoral prospects.

One of the first things I did after the November election was go into CVS and get every vaccine my insurance would cover, and a couple extra for good measure.
Precisely because of who RFK, Jr. is.

Yeah I don't know how to fully express that I feel like my soul is basically damaged by the way I feel about the regime & its agents at this point.
I don't know that I've ever really felt this level of visceral moral CONTEMPT for other humans. It veers into cold hate at times in ways I worry about.

Her terror (and the terror of entire communities, forced into hiding) is not incidental.
It is a product they are manufacturing, a key part of the spectacle for their intended audience.
Which is the terrorized, but also the terror consumers.

There is a part of me that says watch the videos, because it is our duty to witness.
And there is another part of me that can't help but feel that to watch is to consume the spectacle, and normalize its content to myself.

The agents are acting out this alienated incel fantasy of being able to pluck perceived enemies from public space and roughly, physically demean and ritually humiliate them in front of a live audience of passers-by.

as a grantwriter, the lack of unrestricted funding is a MASSIVE burden on nonprofits. everyone wants to fund a new shiny pilot program that makes them look like innovators. they don’t want to help make your tried and tested programs that have served the community for 50 years more sustainable
The headline I feel like is that all the philanthropic donations from billionaires typically have a shitload of restrictions.
