this ends up being the kind of puzzle knot, a lot of us want larger, more nebulous categories, and for good reason, but we don't want to apply our definitions to others. the answer, almost always, is to treat people the way they want to be treated but labels simplify is over time

Lol the guy who's job it is to read the Utah trans bathroom snitch report says he thinks it's good that they're discriminating against trans people but the snitch line has made his job miserable. They also confirm that plausible fake reports are more disruptive. www.npr.org/2024/05/07/1...

Corporate executives trying to make sufficient sacrifices that the gods bless us with another zero interest rate season

there are days where it feels like hope can make you feel sicker than grief

if you haven't read up on Stop Cop City and want to see what kind of repressive measures can be brought against activists today, it's worth reading up

This is honestly so reprehensible I don’t know what to say.

it's not just crypto, it's not just LLM training, it's cloud computing. if we care about ecological impact we have to think about how computing is arranged and what we use it for. it's strategically useful to fight new uses, but data centers are gonna get built regardless of the new thing

Vice dying is very sad to me for a bunch of reasons. Among them is that it's where I wrote my first-ever article; a little essay about playing The Boys Are Back In Town on a jukebox until I got kicked out of a bar, which, stupidly, changed my life. www.vice.com/en/article/d...

Whether Vice goes offline or not (I don't think it will but you never know these days) I've spent a lot of this morning going through old clips. Vice, at one point, would really just let you pitch any crazy idea. I have some of the most unique clips in my portfolio from Vice.
