I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

The United States wants the unilateral authority to decide who should be able to use certain technologies.
In a new piece, I talk about everything from Iran to Andor to discuss how US tech supremacy gives it power over others that it’s working hard to maintain — to all of our detriment.

Why should the US decide who can have certain tech?
Restrictions on Iranian and Chinese technology are about preserving US geopolitical power

If you don't keep your stuff on your own, how long until you don't have it anymore?
Cartoonists, I'm begging you: have your own website with your comics on it. You can post them elsewhere too if you want, but I'm telling you, do not ever rely on a social media platform to keep you afloat. They're not there to make you money, they're there to make money off you.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

If you're a podcaster/content creator that needs a better way to get voice mails from your listeners/viewers, BIG recommendation for voicecast.app Insanely easy to use for both caller and receiver. Been looking for something like this for YEARS.

This is well worth a watch. I'm not done watching it but it has points that I can agree with, and a couple where I feel called out. Which perhaps is needed.
Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank.

The question I'd like to have answered is what program or software do you run in that? What consumer facing system needs a petaflop of performance, or is this the computer equivalent of 1000 horse power engines

Thinking is a kind of skill. If you let something else do the thinking for you, how good will you really think when you try to think yourself?
New study finds that frequent use of AI tools encourages offloading cognitive tasks and reduces critical thinking. Higher AI usage correlated with lower critical thinking skills, especially in younger users.

One of my long held theories is that a bike actually provides the freedom of movement and exhilaration that a car promises in a city at a fraction of the cost and the dissonance there drives the people in cars *completely fucking insane*
every commenter on the internet who complains about bike lanes once saw a cyclist pedal through a red light and now uses it as justification for why they should be allowed to run over anyone else on the road
