I’ll go: All numbers are abstractions, even the integers. There is nothing more or less real about the number 4 vs any other weird mathematical object like the sizes of infinite sets or the complex plane, it’s all bullshit we made up to help ourselves understand the real world

Slightly cheaper than the $42,000/month (with significant limitations) that Elon's trying to charge for minimal API access.

You can grab an entire copy of everything on Bluesky and keep it up-to-date in real-time for just $153/month in computing costs. I hope researchers will take advantage of this to do some interesting data analysis. For example, can you identify disinformation campaigns as they happen?

The anti-Blackness on this site is omnipresent and uncontrolled, and it keeps getting worse. And every time it gets pointed out, white people keep deflecting to another marginalization they experience. But Black people still aren’t safe just being Black here. That’s that on that.

Sometimes I think about the guidance counsellor who talked me out of taking Media Studies in high school because they saw me as too smart for that

On the one hand, social media can be tool of misinformation and harm. On the other hand, sometimes this kind of thing happens

::taps mic:: because teen girls and wine moms have a lot to lose and are some of the most realistically politically engaged people in america.

It’s weird that the last few years have involved having to wrestle with the NYT and CNN being full of shit while People and Teen Vogue of all things are doing their job for them

I have some news… For the next school year, I will be the artist-in-residence at Harvard Medical School as part of the MS program in Media, Medicine and Health. This fall, I’m teaching a course on how the memoir functions within systems of power. I’m excited, nervous and ready to make good trouble.

Good News: There's Caves on the Moon! Bad News: They're $1.1 Million on Zillow, without parking spaces

Ok, new idea: get rid of all newspaper columnists except for J Bouie, Vicky Mochama and maybe Tressie, for like a couple of months. See how that goes and iterate.

This is getting a little ridiculous. True loser shit. It’s basically tied. What do these people think their jobs are?
