Here I will be swearing about things and in such a way that would look bad on my CV. Hobbies include not wanting to go to work and reading too much.

I'll continue with more of this tomorrow, but holy shit, in less than two hours I was able to produce dozens of horrifying policy positions pushed by Project 2025. We could have had week of this instead of Biden Old 24/7. Demand better from journalists.

This story hits a little harder now that the jury documents for Epstein's case have been released (and Trump's name is ALLLLLL over those documents). Again, mainstream media is burying this story for Trump.

Disney based the animatronic Mark Twain who hosts EPCOT's American Adventure on what the CIA had hoped Hal Holbrook would become before he was "radicalized" by the Civil Rights Movement. Isn’t automation grand??? Happy Fourth of July!

Just re-watched Taxi Driver, and it's super interesting that after his attempt to assassinate a leading presidential candidate is thwarted Travis Bickle opts to commit a mass shooting to save a child from sex trafficking.

If the words "Kevin Costner," "western," "3 hours," "4 parts," "3 hours each," and "movies" appeal to you, I think you should see HORIZON.

Was not expecting Kevin Costner's character to be named "Horizon." This film is full of subtle surprises like that.

When you watch the debate between Trump (age 78) and Biden (age 81), remember that in the early 1980s, people used to call the Soviet Union a dangerously sclerotic gerontocracy. The average age in the Politburo then was around 70.

We argue in the book that Trump specifically valorized transgression against democratic norms and those effects will be felt for years. He has essentially managed to mainstream Gamergate values from a relatively niche subculture

Also, obviously, the main thing is this completely misunderstands and misrepresents the entire raison d'etre of prison in the first place, which is to punish, not rehabilitate.

Relatedly the whole concept of meritocracy took a huge blow, was exposed for the myth it always was. You can work hard, be really smart, do all the right things, and some bully's just going to come along, call you a nerd, fire you, destroy the company/ country, and be worshipped for it.

At least when you said "Hey Vern" or "ooohhh" in a funny way everyone knew what you were talking about. We had a lingua franca then, a real culture.

One of the things I think this is highlighting is how much the job of grading has become asking oneself "what's the lowest grade I can give on this garbage without getting static from this student who is only taking this course for a requirement and has no discernible interest in anything."

I came across an old blue book final from an upper-division college English class a few weeks ago and I was absolutely stunned. Not only could my students not do anything like that today, *I* could not do anything like that today.

“AI” is the culmination of the tech industry. Every time you use it, you destroy the environment, erode labor protections, endanger workers overseas, enrich the ruling class, and make something unforgivably worthless, all at the same time – and it's all hidden from you in a frictionless distraction.
