Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out.
As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class.

Never been more proud of my son than just now, when he was sleeping on my chest and I sneezed and he didn’t wake up. Way to go kid 🥰

yup, everyone is stating it was a false flag, but no, it was an international effort by experienced coders, across hundreds of companies, to fix it in time to prevent issues coming from the millennium bug.

Baby boy story time:
Last week, baby boy had an incident that required an emergency bath (😅😳🫣). We have a baby bathtub with 4 “modes” for the various growth stages, and have only used the newborn stage thus far. Prepping the bath, I thought to myself, “you know he’s gained some weight and —

And listen. ICE doesn’t care about your passport anyway. They detain US citizens constantly.
None of this is actually about immigration. It never was, but they aren’t even pretending anymore.

I was talking about this my wife, who has an extra empathic personality. I told her that nothing would change if she ignored the news for a week, as long as she didn't pretend it wasn't happening. And we agreed to still do what we could, which is donate to orgs doing the work and call reps.
I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.
This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

when ICE asks you questions about your neighbors, you've never met your neighbors in your life. you've never even seen them from afar. neighbors? what neighbors?
ICE is targeting Hmong families in St. Paul as they go door to door looking for people to kidnap. they’re asking “do you have any Asian neighbors”

There is a tendency with history, I think, because we're so far removed from it, to kind of forget that all of the people were people
A child 10,000 years ago left a handprint on a wall. They were fingerpainting. A viking climbs up a rock just to carve the words "this is very high" 10 ft off the ground. Somebody centuries… millenia… ago burned their dinner so thoroughly that they buried the ruined pot in their backyard rather than attempt to clean it. Shakespeare got drunk and wrote dick jokes. Tutankhamun was a little boy who liked ducks more than anything. A Roman carves his name into a monument in another country said "I was here." A prisoner, centuries ago, in the tower of london scratches lines into the wall as a tally marking the days. A medieval monk scrawls in the margins bemoaning the boredom of his work.
Every human being across history has said "i was here. I lived. I loved. I made something. I laughed. I cried. Please do not forget me"

Most of us are not important enough that we will be remembered by name for more than a few decades. We are not kings or queens or great military leaders or innovators or influential artists, musicians, authors.
But all of us, every one has a deep primal need to persist. We leave handprints on the wall, scratch out names into stones, carve initials into a tree, mark our growth as children on a wall, bury little time capsules. Write in the margins of a book. Hide notes behind wallpaper.
Reaching out into the future to some unknown human long after we're gone to say
"Hello, you. I was here once."

Sanction us. Bar entry with US passports. Upper middle class Americans are so used to being isolated from politics having any impact in their actual lives that canceling their European vacations en masse might actually stop this.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.
