@mollyjongfast.bsky.social I like AI, it's super fast and extremely well read. I use it in a Socratic dialog to push the horizons of my own thinking in a totally transdisciplinary ways. I get that I'm an academic who needs fast access to (sometimes) obscure information, but, just saying.

The weird juxtapositions of social media are what I like. Here, Matisse Les trois soeurs, (1917), immediately above three Palestinian brothers (2025). Doesn't 'mean' anything but...

Since January, a dynamic has emerged:

I guess 'shotgun wedding' has been superseded by developments in weapons technology...
Colton Moore is the state senator for Greene’s district. My guess is he’s probably going to run for her seat. From his wedding …

If Vance’s entire world was burning down around him, he would still stand there with a smug, self-satisfied look on his face and tell you he’s winning.

Donald Trump is so gay. The evidence has been mounting, but this...(as in the whole event, not just this pic)
Every man needs to find a woman who looks at them like Trump Looks at Mamdani.

But, but, but Trump told everyone America was in the best shape ever, thanks to his amazing leadership. This👇is totally shocking. How is anyone to believe Trump ever again???
TEN MONTHS IN:
The national debt is higher.
The trade deficit is wider.
The inflation rate has worsened.
The unemployment rate is up.

I've always been dissatisfied with "WEIRD" (Henrich et al 2010), the acronym is too forced and it doesn't identify the actual problems very well. So, me and AI have been spitballing. What do you think about this: HYPERS - it slightly shifts the focus to the researcher not the subject, but that's ok?

Do you use AI? Do you routinely ask it to critique its own responses. It can be delightfully eye opening. Just ask...

JD, it would surely be one of the biggest mistakes of your life to stay silent when you have the opportunity to help so many who have been abused. Your silence might also be misunderstood as complicity.

The point of view of the pariah state, where justice has been converted into a racist expedition and/or a personalised vendetta to protect an aged pedophile who now has a predilection for strong men! Kinky.

Now the first tranche of the Epstein emails have been released, I understand Donald J Trump is planning to package unredacted versions in calf-skin covers with gold leaf lettering and sell them for $1,000 a pop. What a grifter.
