Virtually our entire leadership caste across multiple segments of society simultaneously tore their masks off to reveal black holes where humans should be. It's quite something!

The "Larry Summers complained to Jeffrey Epstein that MeToo went too far" and "Olivia Nuzzi committed crimes on behalf of the fascist she masturbated with while reporting on him" are the same story: American elites have no ideology other than "I should be untouchable." Society is run by empty husks

Summers/Epstein + Nuzzi/RFK/Lizza has done more than anything else to help me understand why elites have capitulated to fascism while normal ppl haven't. After decades of hot air from elites/their institutions about freedom, democracy, equality etc, they reveal they have no beliefs or morals at all

Victory for Western countries in a new Civilization VII update has become much more difficult following a new rule requiring players to send $50 billion per month to Israel.

The billionaires who own much of the the infrastructure of our 21st century lives have progressively enshittified that infrastructure while expanding their wealth, and then they scold us for being small-souled peasants who don’t believe in progress anymore.
it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

The way I try to de-AI-ify my classes is that I emphasize at the beginning and throughout the semester that all we're doing is reading some interesting shit other humans have produced, talking about that shit, and writing about it. Humans have been benefitting from that process for centuries w/o AI.

EVERY problem plaguing education is ultimately one of class size and teacher compensation There is no learning problem human teachers can't solve if they are given enough time and resources. That's the definition of "teaching" as a human behavior!

Once again I would like to call out Teri Gross as stand up comedy’s greatest op for gassing up these guys and trying to convince people they were transcendently profound when they were entertainers working in a medium that is mostly intended to be disposable
louis CK was funny, sure, but never SO funny or SO culturally dominant as to reasonably expect to sell out every venue and sell every project for decades. so far, that’s what’s happening for him! what did ‘cancellation’ really do to his career? give him an audience he respects slightly less, maybe?
